Effect of electron beam irradiation on the physicochemical properties of Jackfruit seed flour
Main Article Content
Abstract
Jackfruit seed flour was applied 4 conditions at doses of 0, 2, 4, and 6 kGy of electron beam, respectively. The result showed that after being exposed to radiation, jackfruit seed flour formed a type C crystal structure. Pasting properties of peak, breakdown, holding, final and set-back viscosities decreased with increasing irradiation dose. The final viscosity of jackfruit seed flour with electron irradiation intensity at 2 KGy, 4 KGy, and 6 KGy was 614, 521, and 348 RVU, respectively. Furthermore, electron irradiated flour showed a decreasing trend in syneresis (%) which observed with increasing irradiation dose in jackfruit seed flour. It may be concluded that food containing election beam radiation flour had a softer texture
