Study on the brittleness-keeping technology optimization of pickled mustard tuber processing at low salinity
The optimum process parameters of CaCl_2 concentration (X_1), salt concentration (X_2) and pickling time (X_3) were determined with three-factor quadric orthogonal regression composite experimental design, using brittleness as evaluation index.The mathematical model equation of relation between brittleness and three factors was established as follows: y = 155.415 + 0.093 X_1 + 1.231X_2 + 1.449X_3-8.922X_1~2 + 0.973X_2X_1 -5.448X_2~2 + 4.47X_2X_3-3X_3X_2 -3.525X_3~2.The order of effecting level on brittleness of pickled mustard tuber was pickling time,salt concentration and CaCl_2 concentration, respectively.The model equation was appropriate to reflect the relation between the brittleness value and its factors.By RSREG process of SAS software,the brittleness reached the suitable value of 155.6g when CaCl_2 concentration 0.25%, salt concentration 6.07% and pickled time 11.5d, respectively.The model equation was accordant with practical experiment.
