Caking of sodium chloride: Role of ambient relative humidity in dissolution and recrystallization process

Deacidification of Acidic Books and Paper by Means of Non-aqueous Dispersions of Alkaline Particles: A Review Focusing on Completeness of the Reaction

“…Such attack, when it occurs in within paper, has the potential to destroy connections between the crystalline regions within fibers (Whitmore 2011), in addition to some of the bonded areas between fibers in paper. Also, during changes in humidity it is likely that some of the menisci retract and even disappear, a process that can tend to concentrate any acidity present in the remaining water (Kohonen and Christenson 2000; Langlet et al 2013). These findings suggest that highly localized phenomena may play an important role in the hydrolytic degradation of stored paper.…”

Physicothermal Properties of Aqueous Sodium Chloride Solutions

“…Sodium chloride is the main water activity depressor used in many food and nonfood applications; meanwhile, water plays a role on the chemical, physical and microbiological stability of dispersed hygroscopic systems (Langlet et al . ). Hypotonic and hypertonic sodium chloride solutions were recently employed to enhance the impregnation of curcuminoids in coconut slices (Bellary and Rastogi ), as well as in the formation of gelatin/sodium chloride matrices for industrial application (Li et al .…”

Humidity regulation by stretched PP and PLA films with dispersed CaCl2

“…Spoilage of the packed product may be caused by water vapor absorption or by desorption of already bound water. Problems caused by water vapor absorption comprise for instance the agglomeration of powdery preparations, loss of crispiness of snack products, and microbial growth. On the other hand, products of high water content and high water activity may become dry and change their textural properties.…”
