PREDICTION OF STATE DIAGRAMS OF MUSHROOM AND CARROT
Glass transition temperature (Tg) and water activity (aw) have been recognized as critical factors to predict and control the quality of foodstuffs during processing and/or storage.To establish relationships between these two factors,state diagrams are used.The aim of this contribution is to assess the ability of mathematical models in predicting the state diagrams of food products.Mushroom and carrot blanched or not-treated were dried via air- or freeze-drying methods.Dynamic Sorption vapor was used to determine the isotherm at 25oC of dried pieces.Tg as a function of moisture content was measured by Differential Scanning Calorimetry.The results of this study were discussed in terms of prediction accuracy of the mathematical models as well as the impact of blanching,drying technology,and variety of foodstuffs used.
