Adsorption isotherms of gari for estimation of packaged shelf‐life

Abstract: Adsorption isotherms of gari (cassava semolina) were determined at 15, 25 and 35"C, and the Guggenheim, Anderson and de Boer (GAB) isotherm model was applied to the data. At high water activities, the moisture content increased with rise in temperature, resulting in crossing of the isotherms at a, between 0.5 and 0.7. This sorption phenomenon can be explained by changes occurring in the starch structure and modifying the availability of water adsorption sites. Estimated shelf-lives of gari are calculated and r… Show more

“…At constant aw, sample adsorbs more moisture at lower, temperatures. This is in agreement with result obtained by Chuzel and Zhakia [24]. The higher the temperature, the lower the equilibrium moisture content (EMC) at constant water activity (aw).…”

“…Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (B.E.T) sorption model: Monolayer concept is very relevant to physical and chemical deterioration of dehydrated foods such as lipid oxidation, enzyme activity, non-enzymatic browning reactions, aroma, texture, and textural characteristic [24,25]. The experimental data were fitted to the B.E.T adsorption isotherm equation given in the generally linearized from [26].…”

“…Este comportamiento está influenciado en gran parte por sus componentes (harina de yuca, glicerol y polvillo de fique), que son de carácter hidrófilo, facilitando las interacciones entre los grupos afines al agua; además, las fracciones libres amorfas que están presentes en los polisacáridos como el almidón de la harina de yuca podrían solubilizarse con el incremento de la aw, contribuyendo al aumento de la disponibilidad de puntos activos en la superficie del sólido adsorbente. Chuzel y Zakhia, (1991), argumentan que este comportamiento podría estar relacionado con el tipo de estructura,composición y tratamientos previos del material; en este último aspecto, la técnica de termo-compresión por la cual fueron obtenidos los bioplásticos estudiados, implica incrementos elevados de temperatura y altas presiones,que posiblemente generan cambios en la estructura del compuesto,influenciando la disponibilidad de los sitios de sorción y en consecuencia su comportamiento de adsorción de agua. Otros investigadores (Cladera-Olivera et al, 2011) manifiestan que en productos amiláceos, la adsorción de vapor de agua se presenta principalmente entre los puentes de hidrógeno de las moléculas de agua y los grupos hidroxilo de las moléculas de almidón que dado su polaridad corresponden a los puntos activos de adsorción.…”
