IFT Virtual Seminar - Dynamic vs. Static Isotherms: Which is better?
Title: Dynamic Isotherms vs. Static Isotherms: Which is better?
Time: Wednesday, May 25, 8:00-9:00 AM PDT
Speakers: Brady Carter, Applications Engineer at Decagon Devices and Dr. Shelly J Schmidt, Professor of Food Chemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Moisture sorption isotherms provide valuable information about product quality and stability. However, they are often considered too time consuming to be useful to food R&D groups. Automation using the Dynamic Vapor Sorption (DVS) method has helped speed up static isotherm generation. In addition, the recent introduction of dynamic isotherm methods such as the Dynamic Dewpoint Isotherm (DDI) method has sparked interest due to its speed (test time days) and high resolution.
The question of which method is better naturally arises. This webcast will compare and contrast DVS and DDI methods and then provide examples of why the methods complement each other, suggesting that to be most effective, a moisture sorption instrument should be capable of doing both methods.
Learning objectives:
- Participants will define isotherms and understand their uses, as well as static or DVS Methods.
- Participants will describe the advantages of having access to both static and dynamic methods within one isotherm analysis.
- Participants will learn actual data sets from the AquaLab VSA conducted using both dynamic and static methods on one sample and highlight their potential use.
This seminar is free to all IFT members as well as students. Space is limited; registration is first come, first serve.
