Opacity Studies in Dehydrated Fruits in Relation to Proton Mobility and Supramolecular Aspects

Water content is one of the variables affecting light scattering in foods, which on time determine gloss, translucence, and transparency. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of freeze-drying, humidification, and storage time on the changes of light distribution inside fruit tissue...

In freeze-dried sliced fruits, the cellular structure contributed to maintain air inside the matrices, and then the opacity of the materials was almost constant, independently of the relative humidity.

The opacity decrease when increasing the water mass fraction followed a variation parallel to the Tg curve. Opacity decrease occurred at T-Tg values above 38 °C and was coincident with the observation of a proton population of higher mobility than that observed below the water content hydration limit value. Proton mobility at a molecular scale could thus be related to supramolecular events affecting food appearance, and this information may help to develop food products with the desired appearance. © 2016, Springer Science+Business Media New York.
