Valorisation of frozen chestnut by-products: technological challenges for the p...
Borges, Ana; Fonseca, Catarina; Carreira, Filipa; Rodrigues, Ivo; Henriques, Marta; Veloso, Ana C. A.; Peres, António M.The industrial process of freezing chestnuts generates 5560% of by-products. This study aimed to valorise these low-value by-products by producing high-value chestnut flour. Two flour production processes were evaluated, using raw (RCF) and cooked (CCF10, CCF30, CCF50) chestnut by-products during 10, 30 and 50 min. The highest production yield was obtained for RCF (43.6±1.0%) followed by CCF10 (38.0±1.0%). Rega...
