“…Changes in mechanical and electric properties during these processes around T g result in α-relaxation which can be detected by dynamic mechanical (DMA) and dielectric (DEA) analyses in a multi-frequency mode. These methods are suitable for many carbohydrates with different water contents (Ermolina, Polygalov, Bland, & Smith, 2007;Kilmartin, Reid, & Samson, 2004;Potes, Kerry, & Roos, 2012;Silalai & Roos, 2011). For amorphous powders, the structural relaxation time can be calculated from frequency of primary α-relaxation (Noel, Parker, & Ring, 2000).…”
