The potential of different cooking media during hydrothermal treatment to steer the microstructure of black bean-based flour by influencing pectin solubilization kinetics by Masha Mikhalski, Jelle Van Audenhove, Edgar M. Ndekera, Esther Staes, Tara Grauwet, Ann Van Loey

“…Contrarily, the use of 0.1 M CaCl2 resulted in a reduced softening of the beans during cooking. Analysis of the microstructure and the amount of solubilized pectin in flours made at either an equivalent cooking time of 45 min or at a hardness reduction of 50% obtained by cooking, showed that the reduction in hardness of black beans during cooking, and consequently pectin solubilization kinetics, are critical factors determining the microstructure of black bean-based flours. …”
