Challenges beyond F-Value, Water Activity and Glass Transition Concept in Determining Food Stability
نویسنده
چکیده
Theoretical concepts of F-value, water activity and glass transition are the most successful in determining food stability during food processing and storage. The water activity and glass transition concepts are progressed by combining these concepts in a stability map named as state diagram. The first part of this paper provides stability criteria based on Fvalue, water activity, glass transition and state diagram. The second part explains the recently proposed macro-micro region concept in the state diagram. In this concept, 13 micro-regions are mapped and then relative stability criteria between the micro-regions are postulated. Final part presents real challenges in combing different hurdles in food preservation.

Fat hydrolysis in a food model system: effect of water activity and glass transition
The objective of this research was to study the effect of water activity and glass transition temperature on the fat hydrolysis in a food model system. The model system was prepared with tapioca starch, casein, palm oil and sugar as 58, 14, 16 and 12 g/100 g model matrix, respectively. Hydrolysis reaction was accelerated by commercial lipase at six levels of water content and water activity. Mo...
متن کاملMoisture and shelf life in sugar confections.
From hardening of marshmallow to graining of hard candies, moisture plays a critical role in determining the quality and shelf life of sugar-based confections. Water is important during the manufacturing of confections, is an important factor in governing texture, and is often the limiting parameter during storage that controls shelf life. Thus, an understanding of water relations in confection...
متن کاملState diagram of foods: Its potential use in food processing and product stability
State diagram is a map of the different states of a food as a function of water or solids content and temperature. The main advantage of drawing map is in identifying different states of a food, such as freezing point and glass transition, which helps in understanding the complex changes when food’s water content and temperature are changed. It also assists in identifying food’s stability durin...
متن کاملAntifungal Activity of Nanoemulsion of Iranian Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus L.) Essential Oil
Background: Despite the considerable activity of herbal Essential Oils (EOs) as safe food preservatives, problems such as high volatility, low water solubility, and low stability in adverse environmental conditions restrict their use in food products. This work aimed to investigate in vitro antifungal activity of oil-in-water nanoemulsion of Iranian Artemisia dracunculus L. (tarragon) EO. Meth...
متن کاملGlass transition and enthalpy relaxation of amorphous food saccharides: a review.
Many food materials exist in a disordered amorphous solid state due to processing. Therefore, understanding the concept of amorphous state, its important phase transition (i.e., glass transition), and the related phenomena (e.g., enthalpy relaxation) is important to food scientists. Food saccharides, including mono-, di-, oligo-, and polysaccharides, are among the most important major component...
