Mathlouthi, M. | Rogé, B.
Water vapour sorption isotherms describe the relationship between water content and water activity. Depending on the nature of food powder (crystalline or amorphous), the shape of isotherm is different. Mostly food powders have complex structures, including potentially crystallisable solutes such as sugars, which show changes in crystallinity during the adsorption of water. Even for such an apparently simple system as crystalline sugar, numerous factors affect the adsorption of water vapour and, as a consequence, the storage stability. The presence of a thin film of saturated solution at the surface of the crystal, grain size distribution and the inclusion of mother liquor droplets in the crystal are some of the factors which perturb the equilibrium relative humidity of sugar and its aptitude to caking. These conditions were carefully studied at the level of the laboratory and in a pilot silo. Conditions of "decaking" (recovering a flowing sugar after caking) were also established. In the case of noncrystalline powders, water activity, together with glass transition temperature, is important to determine if it is necessary to interpret the origin of the formation of bridges between food powder particles and the caking phenomenon.
