4. 2. Acrylamide in food products : Identification, formation and analytical methodology

   Author : Sune Eriksson; Margareta Törnqvist; Leif Kronberg; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Acrylamide; food; analytical methods; measurements in air; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to verify the indicated occurrence of acrylamide formation in heating of food, to identify factors affecting the formation, and to identify important sources of acrylamide exposure from food. As a prerequisite for the studies, gas- and liquid-chromatographic methods with mass spectrometric detection were developed for the analysis of acrylamide in food. READ MORE

6. 4. Diffusion of Water in Foods during Heating

   Author : Karin Thorvaldsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; diffusion; mass transfer; mass transport; porous; water; moisture; heat; food;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this research was to improve the knowledge of diffusion of water in foods during heating, so that the final quality of foods after heat processing could be predicted and controlled. The work consisted of three main parts. The first part involved the development of a method to study the diffusion. READ MORE
