Fig. 1. Water- and oil-holding capacity (A). Water-holding capacities of dried
Jerusalem artichoke tuber and commercial starch as a control were examined at 40
and 80 C. Values are expressed as ml/g dry matter. Numbers on x-axis represent
blanching time (s). Solid bars represent capacity at 40 C and open bars represent
capacity at 80 C. Capacity is expressed as moisture in ml/g dry matter. The mean
and standard deviation of duplicate experiments are shown. (B) Oil-holding
capacity was examined and expressed as in (A).
