“…As discussed in this report, many times the dominant solute/s within a system can be identified (e.g., lactose in dairy products [75,88,123,128,129], sucrose in confectionery and baked foods, starch in cereal products, sugars in fruit, vegetable tissues including seeds). This is acceptable provided no components of the nonaqueous solute mix separates out, and proved to be an adequate approximation for analyzing the global behavior of dry and frozen foods [2,[14][15][16][17][18]26,30,201,251], seeds, and cell preservation formulations [35,37,41,42,[46][47][48]72,79,153,232,234]. It should be realized, however, that in complex systems different regions or different component molecules in different regions may exist, and thus may require the description by multiple binary state diagrams [201].…”
