Humectants hygroscopic substances incorporated in a product to promote retention of moisture, including moisture retention agents and antidusting agents. [Pg.42]

Humectants. In certain foods, it is necessary to control the amount of water that enters or exits the product. It is for this purpose that humectants are employed. Polyhydric alcohols (polyols), which include propylene glycol. CiHsO , glycerol, C,H 0,. sorbitol, CsHhOs. and mannilol C HuOb. contain numerous hyroxyl groups, Their stmemre makes them hydrophilic and enables them to bind water in Foods.

Sodium PCA is hygroscopic, attracting moisture from the air. It is used as a humectant (moisturizer) for hair- and skin-care products. It is a stronger hydrating agent than the traditional compounds used for this purpose, such as glycerin, propylene glycol, or sorbitol. [Pg.126]

Glycerol is a widely used humectant and moisturizer in cosmetics, and considerable research has been done on its effect on the stratum corneum functionality (75). Glycerol was identified as an effective agent in the formation of lipid crystals under conditions of low humidity. The use of alpha- and beta-hydroxy acids on skin desquamation is now well established and widely practiced (76). New lipophilic variants of salicylic acid are reported to affect comeodesmolysis by acting on the whole stmcture of the comeodesmosomes. Alpha-hydroxy acids fractionate the cor-neodesmosomes only (77). [Pg.3379]

Intermediate Moisture Foods (IMF s) are characterised by a moisture content of about 15 to 50% and by an aw between 0.60 and 0.85. Traditional IMF s, such as jams, fruit cakes and some ripened cheese are stable at ambient temperatures for various shelf periods (Table 3.59). Water content of IMF s may be lowered to a level which prevents microbial spoilage by the addition of humectants, pH adjustments and antimicrobial agents. Newer IMF s, such as designed for space rations, clinical nutrition and pet foods, can be prepared by adjusting the formulation of the product so that its aw is below 0.86 by use of the following techniques [11 ] ...
