4.1 State change diagram
Figure 21 shows the change-of-state curves for pure water at a given pressure and temperature. Water can be in a liquid, solid or gaseous physical state. The figure shows two exceptions:
when T °C > t critical. Under these conditions, we speak of a supercritical fluid (the liquid and gaseous phases are indistinguishable);
the triple point: water can be found in all three states (solid, liquid, gas).
Foods are complex heterogeneous matrices that are difficult to characterize....
