Two unshared electron pair of
oxygen atom give it a localized
partial negative charge at the
apex of the V.
The strong electron withdrawing tendency of oxygen
gives the two hydrogen nuclei partial positive charges.

Although the water molecule is electrically neutral,
its partial positive and partial negative charges are
separated, with the result that the molecule is an
electric dipole.

Three regions of water binding are observed in
sorption isotherm curves;
(A) first part corresponds to the adsorption of a
monomolecular layer of water - TYPE III non-
freezeable
(B) The second flatter part corresponds to the
adsorption of additional layers of water - TYPE II
(C) Third part relates to the condensation of
water in capillaries and pores of the material -
TYPE I (mobile)

• Capillaries close during drying of food, thus decreasing the
free inner space.
• To fill remaining capillaries of which the geometry differs
strongly in various foods, a higher partial pressure of water
vapour is required than in the case of moisture removal.
• Water condenses in capillaries, and the effect occurs in
region C and B.
; It is assumed that capillaries have narrow
necks and large bodies.

; During adsorption the capillary will not
fill completely until an activity is reached
which corresponds to the large radius R.

WHY ???
Deteriorative changes during heat treatment of
foods are accelerated at high temperatures and
slowed down as moisture is reduced !!!
2. Biochemical stability of foods is related
to the moisture content of foods.
WHY ???
Water acts as a solvent to interact with other
components and provides a medium for
diffusion and reaction of those components
