Moisture Sorption Behavior of Cupuassu Powder

Abstract: Introduction:In this research, the hygroscopic behavior of cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum) powder containing 40% maltodextrin was studied via the moisture adsorption and desorption isotherms at 25°C. Methods:The experimental sorption data of the cupuassu powder were fitted using the Halsey, Henderson, Oswin, GAB and Peleg models. In addition, the powder morphology was assessed using scanning electron microscopy. Results:Moisture sorption isotherms curves showed type III behavior, typical of foods rich in sol… Show more

“…The trend was followed with the earlier findings of Kumar and Mishra (2004) Donkey milk powder is highly susceptible to the relative humidity more than 70%, which may lead to increase of moisture accumulation as well as growth of microorganisms. So, to avoid spoilage of sample at this humidity, usage of low permeable packaging is preferred as reported by Pombo et al (2019).…”

“…As a result of the pressing process, the content of most nutrients (fat, fiber, and carbs) was significantly reduced (P < 0.05). Unlike moisture content, the value of the water component in the defatted canary kernel (powder) is increased since the powder form has a higher hygroscopicity than entire kernels [25][26][27]. This allows the defatted canary sample to absorb moisture from the environment more readily.…”

“…This allows the defatted canary sample to absorb moisture from the environment more readily. Therefore, extra caution is needed while storing ground samples to avoid moisture reabsorption, leading to microbial contamination (bacteria, molds, and yeasts) [26,28].…”

“…Considering the current trends for nutritious and fastprepared foods, instant powdered products obtained from the juices and pulp of fruit are emerging as an interesting alternative and great economic potential for replacing artificial juices. This type of product can also be used in the development of new functional ingredients for food enrichment (Pombo et al 2019). Additionally, for presenting low moisture and water activity, the dried products are more shelf stable, besides being easier to use, more economical to package and store (Sagar and Suresh Kumar 2010).…”
