Determination of the Effect of Moisture on Gliadin Glass Transition Using Mechanical Spectrometry and Differential Scanning Calorimetry

摘要

AbstractGliadin showed a glass to rubber transition typical of an amorphous polymer. Mechanical spectrometry and differential scanning calorimetry were used to determine the glass transition temperature (Tg) in the moisture range of 6.2–27.2 (wet basis, wb) and bone dry to 16.6 (wb), respectively. TheTgobtained with both of these techniques could be superimposed. TheTgcould be successfully predicted using the Gordon‐Taylor equat
