Roasting soybeans in a microwave for manufacturing chocolate dragées
2019
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different microwave-roasting timeson different sizes of soybean grains with black
tegument to achieve the best crunchiness, flavor, and hardness. Black soybean dragees– containing a soybean core coated with layers of
chocolate (dragee) – were manufactured, and their nutritional value, microbiological risk, acceptability, and consumer-purchase intentions
were verified. Flavor and crunchiness of the roasted black soybeans wereonly affected by the roasting time in the microwave, whereas the
hardness was only affected by grain size. The best core of the drageewas obtainedusing grains ofsieve size 15 (large grains) roastedin the
microwave for 11 min; this core presented higher frequencies for extremely crunchy notes (56%), toasted flavor (61%), and an instrumental
hardness close to that of the existing commercial product (33.17 N). The manufactured dragees did not present resistant starch, anthocyanins,
and microbiological risk, and they were sensorially accepted by the tasters (mean scores of 7.77 for texture and 8.36 for appearance on a scale
of 1 to 9). Thus, roasted black soybean drageeshave a high marketing potential from technological, nutritional, and sensorial points of view.
