Evaluation of the water-holding capacity of sweeteners
Water-retaining capacity is an essential property for the chemical components of food products, as it refers to one of the characteristics that determine the commercial properties of products. At the same time, there are practically no data on the hydrophilicity of sweeteners in the literature; a specific criterion for assessing this property is not ...

Water addition, evaporation and water holding capacity of poultry litter [PDF]
Litter moisture content has been related to ammonia, dust and odour emissions as well as bird health and welfare. Improved understanding of the water holding properties of poultry litter as well as water additions to litter and evaporation from litter will contribute to improved litter moisture management during the meat chicken grow-out.
