- Method / resource Fick's 2nd law modeled the loss of reducing sugars from raw carrots at temperatures above 60°C.
- Intervention effect Previously frozen carrots showed Fickian behaviour across the temperature range, with much higher diffusivities.
- Intervention effect The activation energy of pre-frozen carrots was lower than that of raw carrots.
- Observation Diffusivity of reducing sugars from carrot tissue depends on temperature through an Arrhenius-type equation in both raw and frozen carrots.
