Abstract: The current study was aimed at determining physical properties and the optimum consumption temperature of steamed corn on the cob. Texture profile analysis (TPA) performed on a Stable Micro Systems texture analyzer and sensory evaluation were used to investigate physical properties and the eating quality of steamed corn, respectively. Based on the comprehensive analysis of various determined TPA profile parameters and sensory evaluation, the optimum consumption temperature of steamed corn was determined as 60 ℃.

Key words: steamed corn on the cob, temperature, physical properties, sensory evaluation
