Ready to eat meals include a large market share with thermally processed foods and relatively stable at room temperature, once the applied process is intended to preserve the sensory characteristics and nutrients, and meant to offer quality, menu variation, competitive cost and food safety. Among these products are the vegetables packed in retortable pouches subjected to heat treatment for commercial sterilization. The present study aimed to investigate the texture properties of Carioca bean and soybean submitted under hydration conditions with different dosages (0 to 0.8%) of calcium chloride, packaged in hermetic flexible retortable pouches subjected to different heat treatments. The intensity of the heat treatment was determined by the history of time and temperature measured directly during thermal processing applied to the products, using F121.1°C sterilization values in the range of 4 to 18 minutes, also ensuring microbiologically safe products (Cl. Botulinum). A central composite rotational design (CCRD) was used with the sterilization value Fo and the dosage of calcium chloride as independent variables in five levels, and as response the measurement of instrumental texture parameters, expressed by puncture, shearing and compression tests. The response surface methodology was used to test for the optimal conditions for processing of the vegetables in terms of hydration and thermal process. The results obtained for the texture parameters were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA), correlating to the concentration of calcium chloride and the intensity of heat treatment. According to the results, the concentration of calcium chloride had greater impact on texture than the heat treatment expressed as Fo. It has also been concluded that calcium chloride contributes to the uniformity of the grain texture after processing. The texture expressed on the basis of the work of compression and extrusion revealed to better represent the ...
