Abstract

In intermediate-moisture foods, a mechanism describing how moisture affects chemical reaction rate is unknown. Previously, research showed glycol addition to model systems allowed high rates of nonenzymatic browning below the monolayer moisture value and an a_w of 0.2. These works were replicated, focusing on a mechanism of either plasticization or reactant dissolution. T_g curves showed plasticization increased with added glycerol and sorbitol. The maximum rate of nonezymatic browning with glycerol occurred at an a_w = 0.25 and was 1.5 times higher than the control (a_w = 0.65). Sorbitol showed rates similar to the control. plasticization and a_w were poor predictors of reaction rate. Dissolution of glucose in glycerol explained the effect.
