Phase Transitions in Foods
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present methods for detecting changes in the physical state and various techniques used to analyze phase behavior of biopolymers and food components, including the role of water as a plasticizer and the effect of transitions on mechanical and chemical changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasticizing Effect of Water on Thermal Behavior and Crystallization of Amorphous Food Models
Yrjö H. Roos,Marcus Karel +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, dehydrated sugar solutions were used as models of thermal behavior of amorphous foods, and of the effect of temperature, moisture content and time on physical state of such foods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Melting and glass transitions of low molecular weight carbohydrates
TL;DR: In this article, the glass transition temperatures at various water contents (Tg) and in maximally freeze-concentrated solutions (T′g), fusion temperatures (melting points, Tf), and heats of fusion (ΔHf) were determined for pentoses, hexoses, disaccharides, and alditols, using differential scanning calorimetry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase transitions of mixtures of amorphous polysaccharides and sugars
Yrjö H. Roos,Marcus Karel +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of molecular weight, water plasticization, and composition on glass transition temperature (Tg) was investigated with various types of maltodextrins, including maltose and sucrose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of various polyols and polyol contents on physical and mechanical properties of potato starch-based films
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of plasticizer (glycerol, xylitol and sorbitol) and relative humidity on physical and mechanical properties of potato starch-based edible films were investigated.
