i.e. if T ∞ is chosen correctly, a plot <strong>of</strong> log(k/k ref ) vs. (T-T ref )/(T-T ∞ ) is linear through <strong>the</strong><br />

origin with slope equal to C 1 . T g -50° C was proposed as a good initial estimate <strong>of</strong> T.<br />

Buera and Karel (1993) used this approach to test <strong>the</strong> applicability <strong>of</strong> WLF equation in<br />

modeling <strong>the</strong> effect <strong>of</strong> temperature on <strong>the</strong> rate <strong>of</strong> nonenzymatic browning, within several<br />

dehydrated <strong>food</strong>s and carbohydrate model systems. Table 4 gives <strong>the</strong> calculated values <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> coefficients <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> WLF equation for <strong>the</strong> different systems at <strong>the</strong> used reference<br />

temperature as well as at T g , for different moisture contents.<br />
