FORMATION OF NEW CRYSTALLINE, ANHYDROUS MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE BY SOLVENT DEHYDRATION USING ETHANOL
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) monohydrate was dehydrated to its anhydrous form in ethanol of different water contents with a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC).The crystal transformation reaction was performed in a pressure pan under isothermal and temperature ramping conditions.The morphology of the newly formed anhydrous MSG crystals was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and powder X-ray diffractometry.The anhydrous MSG crystals presented a spiky structure.The apparent dehydration kinetic constants were determined to be 120 and 205 kJ/mol for the isothermal and non-isothermal conditions, respectively.Under the isothermal conditions, the collected data were analyzed by the Avrami equation and subsequently the Arrhenius plots.The data sets from the temperature ramping conditions were analyzed according to Kissinger’s method.The newly obtained anhydrous MSG presented a higher solubilization rate than MSG monohydrate or anhydrous MSG obtained by vacuum drying.
