  • Measurements included effective moisture diffusivities, vertical mass distributions in foams, and crystallization of water and lipid components.
  • The non-invasive and non-destructive nature of MRI allowed for repeated measurements over time.

    • Main Results:

    • MRI successfully quantified the phase distribution of various components within the food samples.
    • Effective moisture diffusivities and component crystallization (water and lipids) were accurately measured.
    • Vertical mass distributions in foam structures were determined, providing insights into foam stability.

    Conclusions:

    • Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a powerful tool for non-invasively characterizing food systems.
    • MRI enables the quantification of component interactions and structural features.
    • This technique allows for the study of system dynamics and changes over time, aiding in food product optimization.
