Abstract

AbstractA simple method was developed for determining the spontaneous oil uptake and the kinetics of oil uptake by several food protein materials. The amount q of oil taken up by a protein powder during time t was described by the equation q=Qt/(B+t), where Q is the total oil uptake at equilibrium and B is the time required to sorb Q/2. The rate of oil uptake was proportional to the square of the amount of oil that must still be absorbed to reach equilibrium. A specific rate constant for the process was calculated as (BQ)−1 and an initial rate of oil uptake as Q/B.
