9 important questions on Barrier technology - Exercises
The water vapour permeability rises very quickly with increasing relative humidity? What are 2 reasons of that?
- Increasing sorption
- More moisture in the film, the moisture molecules diffuse much more quickly (plasticising effect of water)
What is the difference in permeability through a hydrophobic component and a hydrophilic component?
What coating material and what medium would you choose for coating apples to reduce moisture loss?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What coating material and what medium would you choose for coating 'croutons' that need to stay crispy for some time in hot soup?
What coating material and what medium would you choose for a ready-made sandwich with jam, to be sold at petrol stations?
What coating material and what medium would you choose for coating a pellet to reduce dust formation during handling?
One of the ways to obtain high-quality dried fruit is to first coat them, and then immerse them for some time in a bath having a very low water activity - this is called osmotic drying. The fruit loses a significant part of its initial weight during the process. The advantage of using a coating is that components other than water cannot pass the coating easily and are retained better in the fruit. This leads to a better end product quality. What type of coating should be used for this process?
Proteins and carbohydrates are hydrophilic (lipids not) and thus allow passage of water. Here you should keep in mind that the coating does not dissolve in the water bath. So a cross-linked protein layer may be possible, or an insoluble film of carbohydrates with proteins.
You have developed a new type of corn flakes with which you can make a unique health claim. Unfortunately, you found that when immersed in milk, they almost immediately become soft. Therefore, you want to treat these corn flakes with a coating, such that they will not become soft in at least 5 minutes after immersion in milk. You want to apply a polysaccharides coating with a certain permeability. What mechanism of film formation and what type of application method would you recommend for this coating on this product?
Which type of film does not allow the passage of flavour molecules?
- Lipid films
- Protein films
- Carbohydrate films
- Composites
Lipid films --> The flavour is relatively non-polar, which means that a lipid may not be a good choice. It will absorb the flavour and readily transfer it to the air.
Composites --> The granule is very small, so applying a composite film would be difficult, as it is difficult to get these defect-free in thinner films
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
