Effects of Structural Attributes and Phase Ratio on Moisture Diffusion in Crystallized Lipids

Effects of Structural Attributes and Phase Ratio on Moisture Diffusion in Crystallized Lipids
Farnaz Maleky, Dennis R Heldman, Sravanti Paluri
Faster cooling (13 versus 0.7 °C/min) at 200 s−1 of trilaurin−triolein mixtures decreased crystal sizes and increased fractal dimensions in the samples. Overall, effective moisture diffusivity calculated as the sum of diffusivity in liquid oil and void fractions was not influenced by cooling rate. However, diffusion through only the liquid oil fraction decreased significantly in samples structured through faster cooling.
