Abstract

Storage temperature dependence on the time required until the development of caking (days-until-caking, DUC) for food powders was expressed using the Arrehnius relationship. Based on the activation energy $(E_a)$ and the pre-exponential rate constant (A) estimated using the data of high storage temperatures $(37,\;45,\;55,\;and\;65^{\circ}C)$ , DUC values at low storage temperatures $(20,\;25,\;and\;30^{\circ}C)$ were predicted for practical applications. $E_a$ for the powder samples were 22-110 kcal/mo1. The larger $E_a$ of a powder sample, the greater the DUC is affected by the storage temperature.
