Water Clustering in Wheat Flour and Its Role in Water Diffusion: Observation Based on Sorption Isotherm by ZHAO Xuewei, WEI Xiaoxiao, GUO Yu, WANG Hongwei, ZHANG Hua

“…Furthermore, based on thermodynamic factor and self-diffusivity, it was found that water molecules were more likely to interact with themselves, leading to water clustering, which could be the major contributor to the sharp decrease of water diffusivity. When aw was equal to or more than 0.90, the strong self-diffusion capacity brought about by high water content could counteract the negative effect of water clustering, resulting in an almost constant water diffusivity.…”
