Water diffusion in bread
3 important questions on Water diffusion in bread
What the difference between adsorption and absorption?
- Adsorption --> when fluid molecules adhere to a surface
- Absorption --> the transfer into the material
What does the BET isotherm give as a result?
The monolayer coverage, so the maximum amount of water for one layer in g/g.
Why do type IV and V of adsorption show hysteresis?
- The adsorption is not the same as the desorption
- Liquification of the water. The water vapour turns liquid.
- Takes longer time for desorption, because water has to turn into gas again to be able to desorb.
- Capillary condensation --> powders with small pores give a lower saturation vapor pressure. This means less vapour can be present in the air, and some vapour will turn into liquid.
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
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
