The deformability modulus (Ed), fracture stress (σF) and Hencky fracture strain (gH) of arracacha samples were evaluated in a cooking process in which three temperatures (70, 80 and 90°C) and three times (15, 60 and 105 minutes) were used. The samples were subjected to uniaxial compression tests. The results showed that increasing the temperature significantly decreased the deformability modulus and the fracture stress due to the degradation of the cellular structure of the arracacha by heat, which translates into a decrease in its rigidity and hardness. Additionally, cooking time also influenced the fracture stress although to a lesser extent than temperature. On the other hand, a relationship was presented between the cooking temperature and the fracture strain of the arracacha. As the temperature increases, an increase in fracture deformation is observed, indicating greater flexibility of the cooked arracacha samples.
