How do you avoid syneresis in food processing?

Syneresis occurs in some fruit jellies. It is probably more common in cranberry jelly than in other fruit jellies. Tarr found that, with a hydrogen-ion concentration greater than pH 3.1, fluid exuded from the jelly. Myers and Baker have reported that syneresis in jellies may be brought about by the hydrogen ion alone, or by the hydrogen ion and cation of an added salt together, but not by the cation of the salt alone. They have also reported that the anion of a salt by acting as a buffering agent may prevent syneresis. Whether syneresis occurs in a jelly also depends on the source of the pectin. The writer has never seen syneresis occur with gooseberry jelly, even when the pH of the jelly is 2.6 or lower. Some citrus pectins made into jelly show no syneresis at pH 2.0 or lower. The rate of dehydration or setting and mechanical disturbance after the jelly starts to set may also influence syneresis.

Why is imbibition does not deal with living cells directly?

Imbibition deals with the displacement of fluids primarily by colloidal structures. The degree of displacement is dependent on the matrix structure of the colloid and the mutual affinity with the liquid. Germination of plant seeds is a good example of imbibition, but doesn't deal with living cells directly. In living human cells, imbibition by definition has limited occurrence with the best example being a skin graft. The grafted skin takes in oxygen and nutrients by way of imbibition until normal vascular pathways can be established. Other transport methods involving membrane permeability are more pertinent to cellular structures within the human body. Hope this helps.
