Stability of Sorbic Acid in Model Food Systems of Reduced Water Activity: Sugar Solutions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The behavior of sorbic acid in model systems comprised of concentrated sugar solutions (water activity 0.94) at pH 3.5 and 4.5 was studied. Sorbic acid degraded appreciably as a function of time and temperature during storage and its destruction could be described by first-order kinetics. The rate constants of sorbic acid destruction were found to be related to composition of the sugar model system. Nonenzymatic browning reactions which occur in systems containing lysine greatly influenced the kinetics of sorbic acid destruction.

Exploration on the Stability of Intermediate Moisture Foods
Microbial stability of intermediate moisture foods (IMF's) has been found to be affected by unsteady state environmental conditions. Temperature fluctuations induce localized surface condensations resulting in potential surface outgrowth before moisture diffuses into the food product. Due to organoleptic, cost and/or safety restrictions it is not always possible to include safety margins by low...

A new theory model based on the local composition concept (TNRF-modified NRTL (TNRF-mNRTL) model) was developed to express the short-range contribution of the excess Gibbs energy for the solutions containing polymer and electrolyte. An equation represented the activity coefficient of solvent was derived from the proposed excess Gibbs energy equation. The short-range contribution of interaction ...

In this work the effect of electrolytes on hydrate formation was investigated. To do so, a new model was used in predicting the hydrate formation conditions in presence of both single and mixed electrolyte solutions. The new model is based on the van der Waals - Platteeuw hydrate equation of state. In order to evaluate the values for the activity of water in electrolyte solutions t...
