1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance relaxometry has been applied to reveal dynamical properties of water molecules embedded into egg yolk and white of three species: turkey, chicken and quail. Two fractions of water molecules, referred to as confined-water and free-water fractions, have been revealed. It has been demonstrated that translation diffusion of the confined-water fraction is three-dimensional. The dynamics of the confined-water has been quantitatively described in terms of diffusion coefficients and rotational correlation times. The parameters have been compared for egg yolk and white for all the species. In addition to these quantities, the number of the confined-water molecules per unit volume has been provided for all cases. The obtained parameters provide insight into the dynamics of water in eggs of different origin and allow to identify similarities and differences between them in connection to the structure of the network formed by the macromolecular fraction of egg yolk and white.

Water Dynamics in Whey-Protein-Based Composite Hydrogels by Means of NMR Relaxometry
Özel, Barış; Wojciechowski, Milosz; Osuch, Maciej; Oztop, Mecit Halil (2021-09-01)
Whey-protein-isolate-based composite hydrogels with encapsulated black carrot (Daucus carota) extract were prepared by heat-induced gelation. The hydrogels were blended with gum tragacanth, pectin and xanthan gum polysaccharides for modulating their properties. H-1 spin-lattice relaxation experiments were performed in a broad frequency range, from 4 kHz to 30 MHz, to obtain insight into the influence of the different polysaccharides and of the presence of black carrot on dynamical properties of water molecu...

1H NMR relaxometry studies have been performed for different kinds of cheese in order to enquire into mechanisms of water mobility in the cheese structures. The exploited frequency range, from 4 kHz to 40 MHz, allowed probing water dynamics on a broad range of time scales. Two fractions of water of much different dynamical properties, referred to as confined-water and free-water, have been revealed. It has been demonstrated that dynamics of water molecules confined in the macromolecular matrix is about four...
Heat and mass transfer modeling of microwave infrared cooking of zucchini based on Lambert law
Yazicioglu, Nalan; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (2021-10-01)
In this study, the change in the temperature and moisture content of zucchini cooked in microwave and infrared combination oven were modeled by finite element method. The exact form of Lambert law was used to predict the microwave power. Experimental temperature data at different positions of zucchini and moisture content data were used to verify the models obtained for different microwave (10, 30, and 50%) and infrared power (10, 40, and 70%) combinations for 600 s. Measured data and the model were in good...

H-1 spin-lattice Nuclear Magnetic Resonance relaxation studies have been performed for different kinds of Haribo jelly and Vidal jelly in a very broad frequency range from about 10 kHz to 10 MHz to obtain insight into the dynamic and structural properties of jelly candies on the molecular level. This extensive data set has been thoroughly analyzed revealing three dynamic processes, referred to as slow, intermediate and fast dynamics occurring on the timescale of 10(-6) s, 10(-7) s and 10(-8) s, respectively...
Mass dispersion in transfer reactions with a stochastic mean-field theory
Washiyama, Kouhei; Ayik, Sakir; Lacroix, Denis (2009-09-01)
Nucleon transfer in symmetric heavy-ion reactions at energies below the Coulomb barrier is investigated in the framework of a microscopic stochastic mean-field theory. Although mean field alone is known to significantly underpredict the dispersion of the fragment mass distribution, a considerable enhancement of the dispersion is obtained in the stochastic mean-field theory. The variance of the fragment mass distribution deduced from the stochastic theory scales with the number of exchanged nucleons. Therefo...
