abstract = {Experimental dynamical moisture profiles of crackers with a
fine and coarse morphology are successfully predicted using
a pore scale network model. Experimental profiles are
obtained using a single point imaging (SPI) NMR technique
that enables 3D mapping of the moisture content of
relatively immobile water at low water activity.The relative
vapor conductivity trough the structure is $33\%$ and $64\%$
for the fine and coarse structured crackers, respectively.
It can be argued that this is due to their difference in
cell connectivity and not directly related to their
difference in average cell diameter (0.33 and 0.75 mm,
respectively). It was found that the retarded local sorption
dynamics of the solid matrix has a noticeable influence on
the moisture profiles that arise in the first hours. This is
crucial for the moisture sorption dynamics of sub centimeter
size samples, for which there is a distinct non-equilibrium
between the vapor and the sorbed water phase. The local
sorption at low water activity is a factor 3 faster for the
fine structure cracker compared to the coarse one. This is
due to their differences in average lamellae thickness (54
and 93 mu m, respectively).However, for the description of
the overall moisture sorption dynamics of the few cm thick
samples, on a time scale of days, it valid to assume local
equilibrium and to use an effective diffusivity model. The
relative vapor conductivity together with the porosity and
the derivative of the sorption isotherm determines the
effective moisture diffusivity for these open structures,
which is a factor 3 lower for the fine structured cracker
compared to the coarse one. The single sided moisture
sorption in the 2.5 thick cracker samples is not even
completed after 5 days, mainly because at higher water
content (near $20\%)$ there is very little gradient in
relative humidity to drive the vapor transport. This is
reflected in the predicted effective moisture diffusivities
which for the coarse cracker decrease from 16 x 10(-9)
m/s(2) (at $1\%$ MC, $16\%$ a(w)) to 7.6 x 10(-10) m/s(2)
(at $20\%$ MC, $86\%$ aw). (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights
