The physical state of a dosage form, crystalline versus amorphous, is critical in determining its solid-state physical and chemical properties. This minireview describes the physics associated with the preparation and storage of amorphous solids including a review of the common theories of the glass transition and relaxation processes.
During food emulsification and processing of sunflower oil (most used edible oil), a metallic and rancid odour has been detected only for insonated oil and foods. Some off-flavour compounds (hexanal and hept-2-enal) resulting from the sono-degradation of sunflower oil have been identified. A wide variety of analytical techniques (GC determination of fatty acids, UV spectroscopy, free fatty acids and GC/MS) were used to follow the quality of insonated sunflower oil and emulsion. Different edible oils (olive, sunflower, soybean, em leader ) show significant changes in their composition (chemical and flavour) due to ultrasound treatment.
Mobility and distribution of water in cassava (rainy and drought crops) and potato starches were studied by solid state and NMR relaxometry as a function of H(2)O and D(2)O contents ranging from 0 to 44% (dry basis). Measurements of relative mobility derived from (2)H solid state NMR were based on relative area and line shape analysis. The narrow peak (mobile component) started to show at 5% and increased with increasing D(2)O content. This increase in mobile fraction was accompanied by a line narrowing. The mobile fractions of deuterons reached a >98% level above 15% D(2)O, which is well below the water holding capacity of starch ( approximately 27%) and the previously assigned "glassy-rubbery transition point" (24.3%; Jouppila, K.; Roos, Y. H. The physical state of amorphous corn starch and its impact on crystallization. Carbohydr. Polym. 1997, 32, 95-104). This reconfirms the liquidlike nature of water in the so-called glassy state of starch granules. The plasticization effect of water on starch chains was observed at 14-17% for cassava and potato starches as indicated by the T(1) minimum. This, however, did not seem to relate to the difference observed in swelling among the starches studied.
