Introduction

lnulinisa naruralstorage carbohydratecomposed of achainof fructose unitswithgenerallyaterminal glucose unit.industriallyextracted Fromchicoryrootandcommercially available in the powdered fonn.ln a previous study,we engineered physical propertiesandcontrolled the amorphouslcrystallinity contentof inulin by selecting appropriate feedtemperatureand/or inlet air temperatureofthespray-drier,

Unlikea crystalline structure,the amorphousstate hasa kinelicallynon-equilibrium structure.Amorphous solidsare commonly fonned throughrapid cooling ofaliquid melt to a certain temperaturesothat themoleculesinthemelt donot have enough rimetorearrangeandarefrozen in theiroriginal position.Anamorphous solid is also calledaglass,and is characterizedbya glasstransition,which referstothephase transitionwhena glassischangedinto asupercooled melt.Theglass transition is an important parameter for understanding themechanisrns of transformation processes in foods and for controllingtheirshelf-Iife.Depending on themoisture and/or thestoragetemperature, theamorphousproductcan physicallychange inorder to attain a morethenno-dynamical stable state.For thisreason,theaimof thepresent paper wasto determinethekineticof thephysicalchangesof amorphousinu1in powderstoredat highrelative humidity.Thephysicalparameters investigated were theglasstransitiontemperature (Tg) and the crystallinity index,determined byModulated Differential Scanning Calorimetry(MDSC) and WideAngleXcray Scattering (WAXS),respectively. Temperature-resolved W AXS wasused to understand theMDSC thermograrns whencrystallization occurred.lnaddition, surface analysiswasusedto correlatetherneasuredparameterstothe observed macroscopic propertychanges of the amorphouspowder.
