Effects of carbohydrate crystallization on stability of dehydrated foods and ingredient formulations
Sugars are important components of the amorphous regions of dehydrated foods, and their structure may define product performance. The objective of present work was to analyze the impact of sugar crystallization on product quality, and to discuss some strategies to avoid sugar crystallization. Chemic...
