| Abstract | The conservation of desirable properties in foods and ingredients is often based on the maintenance of the amorphous metastable properties of the systems. Enzymes may be stabilized by drying in saccharide matrices, but a second excipient is generally required to improve sugar protective effects. The effect of electrolytes on the thermophysical properties of sugar systems is of special interest because of their major influence on water structure and their possible interactions with biomolecules. Salts affect the kinetics of very important changes in sugar systems such as crystallization. The purpose of the present work was to analyze fungal β-galactosidase stability in supercooled systems of trehalose-containing electrolytes (water soluble acetates, citrates, and chlorides of magnesium and potassium). The degree of sugar crystallization was also related to enzyme stability. Potassium citrate and acetate improved enzyme stability during freeze-drying and thermal treatment of samples at water activity (a $_{w}$) of 0.22. However, trehalose crystallization inhibition at a $_{w}$ = 0.43 (which was about 50–60%, related to the system without salt) impaired enzyme protection. Certain salts may act retarding sugar crystallization, but in the presence of salts, trehalose crystallization is even more critical because the enzyme is confined in a highly salt-concentrated region. Thus, crystallization inhibition by sugar–salt combinations should be carefully conducted. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
