The effect of salt on the degradation of visual green colour '-a' in spinach puree (Spinacea oleracea L.) over a temperature range of 50-120 degreesC (steady state temperature process) as well as under conditions of normal open pan cooking, pressure-cooking and a newly developed and patented fuel-efficient EcoCooker has been studied (unsteady state heating process). The degradation of visual green colour as measured by '-a' value followed a first order kinetics, where the rate constant increased with an increase in the temperature. The temperature dependence of degradation was adequately modeled by Arrhenius equation. A mathematical model has been developed using the steady state kinetic parameters obtained to predict the losses of green colour from the time-temperature data of the unsteady state heating/processing method. The results obtained indicate a protective effect of salt on the degradation of visual green colour. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
