Abstract:Taking the Big Buddha Finger ginkgo kernel as material, the effects were studied from blanching temperature and time on the time of POD enzyme's inactivation, moisture content, degree of starch gelatinization of ginkgo kernel and the microstructure, crispiness, oil content, color, sensory quality of vacuum fried ginkgo kernel. The results showed that with increasing of the blanching temperature and time, the degree of starch gelatinization and moisture content rose gradually, but the time of POD enzyme's inactivation decreased. The crispiness and color of the vacuum fried ginkgo kernel were better, but the oil content of it was higher. The vacuum fried ginkgo kernel blanching at 100 ℃ for 5 min to form porous, and the scores of sensory evaluation was highest. The overall consideration showed that the ginkgo kernel should be blanched at 100 ℃ for 5 min.
