Glass transition and time-dependent crystallization behavior of dehydration bioprotectant sugars
It has been suggested that the crystallization of a sugar hydrate can provide additional desiccation by removing water from the amorphous phase, thereby increasing the glass transition temperature (Tg). However, present experiments demonstrated that in single sugar systems, if relative humidity is e...
