Food Industry

Food has a reciprocal relationship with the ambient air in their surroundings. They either absorb or discharge water to their surroundings until they have reached a state of equilibrium with their surrounding environment. All food products contain water and any loss of water will effect the appearance and thereby the quality of the product.

Problems

• Reduction in the food weight
• Keeping fresh
• Appearance of product
• Faster ripening

Products as meat and vegetables have an equilibrium relative humidity of 95-98%. If the ambient air surrounding the products has an RH at 70%, the equilibrium of the product is higher than the surrounding environment. The result is that the product releases water to equalize the equilibrium.
