Summary

A THERMODYNAMIC APPROACH WAS BASED ON SORPTION DATA OVER A WIDE RANGE OF WATER ACTIVITY AT 280.2, 293 AND 303 K (7.2, 20 AND 30 DEG C). THE HYPOTHESIS TESTED WAS THE TOTAL PARTIAL ENTHALPY CHANGE FOR THE WATER OF A MIXTURE IS EQUAL TO THE SUM OF THE PARTIAL ENTHALPY CHANGES FOR THE WATER OF THE INDIVIDUAL INGREDIENTS AT THE SAME WATER ACTIVITY. EXPERIMENTAL VALUES FOR THE STARCH/CASEIN MIXTURE WERE IN AGREEMENT (ABOUT 5%) WITH THOSE CALCULATED. THE STARCH/SUCROSE INDICATED A GREATER VARIATION AS THE SUCROSE CONCENTRATION INCREASED TO SATURATION.
