Popis: Measuring glass transition temperature is necessary for predicting the state and the behavior during the processing, distribution, and storage of many amorphous sugar-rich products. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to establish an improved calorimetric methodology to assess T g in amorphous sugars. This method was created through melting crystal with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using the same principle proposed by Jiang, Liu, Bhandari, and Zhou (2008. Impact of caramelization on the glass transition temperature of several caramelized sugars. Part I: chemical analyses. Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 56, 5138–5147). Thermogravimetric analysis with simultaneous DSC was required to characterize the melting and thermal degradation temperatures of sugars. Thermograms showing the complete process of heating–cooling–reheating are proposed to determine the precise glass transition temperature during cooling (T gC) or reheating (Tg H), and to verify if the processed amorphous sample...
