Abstract

Physical properties of soybean curd powder prepared with hot air, vacuum and freeze drying methods were investigated. Adsorption characteristics were studied under various water activities (such as 0.11, 0.33, 0.44, 0.55, 0.66, 0.75, 0.85, and 0.93) at 5℃, and prediction models were developed. Equilibrium moisture and monolayer moisture contents were the highest when freeze dried. due to the porous structure. In this result, Oswin model was the best fit for the isotherm of soybean curd. Sorption enthalpy indicated that high moisture content of powder showed lower sorption than that of low moisture content.
