tie theory (Labuza 1968). It is assumed that the capillaries have narrow necks and large bodies, as represented schematically in Figure 1-13. During adsorption the capillary does not fill completely until an activity is reached that corresponds to the large radius R. During desorption, the unfitting is controlled by the smaller radius r, thus lowering the water activity. Several other theories have been advanced to account for the hysteresis in sorption. These have been summarized by Kapsalis (1987). The position of the sorption isotherms depends on temperature: the higher the temperature, the lower the position on the graph.

R = gas constant T = absolute temperature By plotting the natural logarithm of activity versus the reciprocal of absolute temperature at constant moisture values, straight lines are obtained with a slope of -QJR (Figure 1-14). The values of <2S obtained in this way for foods having less than full monolayer coverage are between about 2,000 and 10,000 cal per mole, demonstrating the strong binding of this water. According to the principle of BET isotherm, the heat of sorption Qx should be constant up to monolayer coverage and then should suddenly decrease. Labuza (1968) has pointed out that the latent heat of vaporization Af/v, about 10.4 kcal per mole, should be added to obtain the total heat value. The plot representing BET conditions as well as actual findings are given in Figure 1-15. The observed heat of sorption at low moisture contents is higher than theory indicates and falls off gradually, indicating the gradual change from Langmuir to capillary water. TYPES OF WATER The sorption isotherm indicates that different forms of water may be present in foods. It is convenient to divide the water into three types: Langmuir or monolayer water, capillary water, and loosely bound water. The bound water can be attracted strongly and held in a rigid and orderly state. In this form In (ACTIVITY) VT Figure 1-14 Method for Determination of Heat of Adsorption.

the water is unavailable as a solvent and does not freeze. It is difficult to provide a rigid definition of bound water because much depends on the technique used for its measurement. Two commonly used definitions are as follows: 1. Bound water is the water that remains unfrozen at some prescribed temperature below O0C, usually -2O0C. 2. Bound water is the amount of water in a system that is unavailable as a solvent. The amount of unfreezable water, based on protein content, appears to vary only slightly from one food to another. About 8 to 10 percent of the total water in animal tissue is unavailable for ice formation (Meryman 1966). Egg white, egg yolk, meat, and fish all contain approximately 0.4 g of unfreezable water per g of dry protein. This corresponds to 11.4 percent of total water in lean meat. Most fruits and vegetables contain less than 6 percent unfreezable water; whole grain corn, 34 percent. The free water is sometimes determined by pressing a food sample between filter paper, by diluting with an added colored substance, or by centrifugation. None of these methods permits a distinct division between free and bound water, and results obtained are not necessarily identical between methods. This is not surprising since the adsorption isotherm indicates that the division between the different forms of water is gradual rather than sharp. A promising new method is the use of nuclear magnetic resonance, which can be expected to give results based on the freedom of movement of the hydrogen nuclei. The main reason for the increased water content at high values of water activity must be capillary condensation.

face tension a in a capillary with radius r is subject to a pressure loss, the capillary pressure p0 = 2a/r, as evidenced by the rising of the liquid in the capillary. As a result, there is a reduction in vapor pressure in the capillary, which can be expressed by the Thomson equation, !„£.-_ 22. Jl P0 ~ r RT where p = vapor pressure of liquid P0 = capillary vapor pressure a = surface tension V = mole volume of liquid R = gas constant T = absolute temperature This permits the calculation of water activity in capillaries of different radii, as indicated in Table 1-4. In water-rich organic foods, such as meat and potatoes, the water is present in part in capillaries with a radius of 1 (urn or more. The pressure necessary to remove this water is small. Calculated values of this pressure are given in Table 1-5 for water contained in capillaries ranging from 0.1 |im to 1 mm radius. It is evident that water from capillaries of 0.1 |0,m or larger can easily drip out. Structural damage caused, for instance, by freezing can easily result in drip loss in these products. The fact that water serves as a solvent for many solutes such as salts and sugars is an additional factor in reducing the vapor pressure. The caloric behavior of water has been studied by Riedel (1959), who found that water in bread did not freeze at all when moisture content was below 18 percent (Figure 1-16). With this method it was possible to determine the nonfreezable water. For bread, the value was 0.30 g per g dry matter, Table 1-4 Capillary Radius and Water Activity Radius (nm) Activity (a) O5 0.116 1 0.340 2 0.583 5 0.806 10 0.898 20 0.948 50 0.979 100 0.989 1000 0.999 and for fish and meat, 0.40 g per g protein. The nonfreezable and Langmuir water are probably not exactly the same. Wierbicki and Deatherage (1958) used a pressure method to determine free water in meat. The amount of free water in beef, pork, veal, and lamb varies from 30 to 50 percent of total moisture, depending on the kind of meat and the period of aging, A sharp drop in bound water occurs during the first day after slaughter, and is followed by a gradual, slight increase. Hamm and Deatherage (196Ob) determined the changes in hydration during the heating of meat. At the normal pH of meat there is a considerable reduction of bound water.
