Research Abstract

Manufacturing of thin-film thermopiles was successfully done by means of vacuum-spattering method. However, it turned out that they have a high electric resistance and are easily broken when they are placed to fix on a material surface with curvature. For this reason, their employment as a sensor for the thermal analyzers to be developed in the present research project had to be given up. In return, micro-thermopiles prepared under the microscope by an ordinary method was employed and a high sensitive adiabatic DSC was successfully developed.
At the same time, in order to derive the thermodynamic parameters from observed DSC signals, an algorithm was developed and the computer software for leading these thermodynamic parameters was constructed.
It was concluded that the developed system can be applicable for the quantitative characterization of various food components.
