Abstract

Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) have been important in human nutrition since ancient times thanks to their protein content. Badalan beans, a type kidney bean, grown in Çanakkale and the surrounding area, are also known as fresh dry or milk beans. They are stored at low temperatures (-16°C, -18°C) until they are consumed, without being dried. The storage method, which allows the product to be stored at higher temperatures and for longer periods than usual, is considered an alternative to the to the widespread use of the bean type. It will provide the opportunity to evaluate various alternatives such as energy saving and the effective use of deep freezer volume. In our study, Badalan beans were stored under consumer conditions at different temperatures (At temperature ranges of -18/-16°C, -10/-5°C, -4/0°C and 0/+4°C) and storage periods (3, 6, 9 and 12 months and the control (-18/-16°C-12 months)), and the storage performance of the product was evaluated in terms of parameters such as seed coat color (L*), endosperm color in seed (L*), weight loss (g), moisture content (%), sugar content (g 100 g-1) and dry matter (%) ratio. The obtained results showed that Badalan beans can be stored without damage for 6 months at -10/-5°C and 12 months at -18/-16°C. To save energy and make effective refrigerator volume usage during storage, suitable storage applications are -4/0°C for three months and 0/+4°C for one month are suitable for short-term storage.
