Abstract:

In order to explore a suitable alkaline deastringency method for hickory kernel, based on the response value (consisting of both deastringency rate and sensory score), single-factor tests and response surface test were adopted to optimize its technical parameters. Besides, the effects of both the proposed alkaline deastringency method and the traditional boiling-water deastringency method on the contents of free phenol and bound phenol, peroxide value, acid value and iodine value were explored. It was shown that the optimized technical parameters were as follows: deastrinency temperature of 65 ℃, deastrinency time of 100 min, NaHCO3 mass fraction of 5%, solid-liquid ratio (g·mL-1) of 1∶15. Under this condition, the deastringency rate was 92.04%, sensory score was 9.2, and the response value was 75.47. Compared with the traditional boiling-water deastringency method, the proposed alkaline deastringency method could remove astringency from hickory kernel, retain more bound phenol, reduce the oxidization of fat, fatty acid and unsaturated fatty acid, and maintain the quality of hickory kernel.
