Structuring of biopolymer products - Water binding in biopolymer mixtures
6 important questions on Structuring of biopolymer products - Water binding in biopolymer mixtures
Rate the types of water from close to the biopolymer to far from the biopolymer
- Loosely bound water
- Interfacial water --> monolayer + multilayers
- Constitutional water/structural water
- Bulk water
- Constitutional water/structural water
- Interfacial water --> monolayer + multilayers
- Loosely bound water
- Bulk water
Far from biopolymer
What is the value of χ when the biopolymer has a high affinity for moisture and what value if it does not really like water?
Does not like water --> χ is positive
What does the Flory-Rhener theory consist of?
- the interaction between the biopolymer and the water (first part of the equation)
- the elastic contribution (second part of the equation)
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What is the cause of swelling of a gel at different water activities?
- Low aw --> interaction between biopolymer and solvent (water)
- High aw --> crosslink density
By which 2 parameters it he swelling capacity influenced?
How are Mc (molecular weight between the crosslinks) and crosslink density related?
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
