On the one hand, comparing data obtained from drying
methods, it could be noticed thatwater holding capacities (WHC) in
freeze-dried pumpkin flours had statistically (p 0.05) higher than
those of hot-air oven dried pumpkin flours (Table 2). This is in
agreement with the results of Que et al. (2008). On the other hand,
WHC levels of the samples prepared with metabisulfite pretreatment
were statistically (p 0.05) lower as compared to the
samples without metabisulfite pre-treatment (Table 2). This
possibly due to lower dietary fiber levels (Table 1) of these samples.
In general, soluble fibers have a high hydration ability and form
viscous solutions (Saura-Calixto & Goni, 2006).
The water solubilities (WS) and water holding capacities (WHC)
of the pumpkin flours were adequate for their utilization. Thus,
pumpkin flour with high WS and WHC could be useful as a
