Texture parameters represent: maximum force and area under the curve (AUC). Viscoelastic parameters from large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) tests represent: elastic modulus value at LVR (G′LVR), stress value at LVR (StressLVR), and flow point. Viscoelastic parameters from small amplitude oscillatory shear (SAOS) tests represent: complex modulus (G*), elastic modulus (G′), viscous modulus (G′′), complex viscosity (ƞ*), phase angle (δ), and loss tangent (Tan δ). Different letter indicates significant differences between cooked samples within the same legume (p < 0.05).
