Summary

The modulated differential scanning calorimeter (MDSC) successfully separated the glass transition from other irreversible thermal changes in simple food ingredients. While the MDSC did not distinctly determine the glass transition temperature of complex food systems at low moisture contents, glass transitions were observed for solutions and food systems at higher moisture contents. Glass transition temperature values from MDSC were reproducible and similar to those from standard DSC.
