Water vapour sorption properties of dried milk baby foods
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 June 2009
Summary
Water vapour adsorption and desorption properties of spray- and roller-dried milk baby foods were determined by a dynamic method at 25, 35 and 45°C. The equilibrium moisture content increased with increase in relative humidity and decrease in temperature; values for the spray-dried milk baby food were higher than those for the roller-dried product. The desorption and adsorption isotherms exhibited hysteresis. The desorption isotherms were of sigmoid shape: the adsorption isotherms were of similar shape except for a region of discontinuity. The relative humidity at which this discontinuity occurred depended on the temperature at which sorption was determined. Monomolecular moisture contents and latent heat ratios are reported.
