Abstract
The caking kinetics of freeze-dried papaya (Carica papaya L.) was esti mated based on the environmental conditions of relative humidity (31, 52 and 89%) and of temperature (10 and 25 degrees C). The caking kinet ics was established from photomicrographics obtained by an optical mic roscope used at different time intervals. The results showed the influ ence of temperature and relative humidity on the degree of caking and the possibility of utilizing a simple method for analysis of caking on freeze-dried fruit powders.
