Modeling Softening Kinetics at Cellular Scale and Phytochemicals Extractability in Cauliflower under Different Cooking Treatments
The effects induced by heat on Depurple and Cheddar (Brassica oleracea L.var.botrytis) during Nappies boiling, steaming, and sous-vide were investigated to elucidate the role of the basic cellular elements in softening and extractability of sterols and tocopherols.With this aim, an elastoplastic mechanical model was conceptualized at a cell scale-s
