Abstract

Storage stability parameters like free fatty acid (FFA) content and lipase activity were evaluated for infrared heated sorghum flour. Infrared heating conditions (temperature and duration) were optimized using a central composite design. Processing at a temperature of 120oC for 8.5 min was optimum to provide the lowest FFA content (0.03%), lipase activity (15 μeq·mg/h), and peak viscosity (318 BU). Correlation coefficient values (R2) for responses of FFA content (96.24%), lipase activity (97.74%), and peak viscosity (90.87%), derived using experimental data, indicated that the model was a good fit. Infrared heating at 120oC for 8.5 min can be useful for development of shelf stable sorghum flour.
