Fresh-cut yacon slices were first heat treated (60–80 °C, 5–25 min) and then exposed to air at room temperature for up to 10 min. Color parameters of internal surface were measured and two kinetic models were evaluated: 1) Color degradation during thermal treatment, and 2) Color stability during subsequent air exposure. More severe treatments led to lower color quality but higher stability. The relative white index was the best color parameter and the color changes followed a zero-order kinetics. The temperature dependence of rate constants were evaluated using the Arrhenius model. The activation energy for color degradation was 14.7 kJ/mol, and for color stability it was 47.9 kJ/mol indicating color stability parameters to be more sensitive to temperatures than color degradation. The color parameter models developed were comparable to polyphenoloxidase inactivation model and provided a rapid physical method for evaluating color degradation and subsequent color stability of yacon slices.
