Notes:
Portion-controlled menu items were heat processed in infrared and convection ovens to compare the effects of the heating methods upon nutrient retention. Product yields for hamburger and potatoes were significantly greater (P 〈 0.05) after convective heating; for tomatoes, after infrared heating. Nutrients analyzed foi selected menu items included: thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin C, β-carotene, seven fatty acids, 18 amino acids, ammonia, phosphorus, iron and sodium. Several significant differences between the heat processed samples were revealed. The riboflavin and vitamin A contents in hamburger and tomatoes, respectively, were significantly greater after infrared heating. The total amino acid contents were significantly greater after infrared heating for the hamburger patties and cod fillets.
