Due to Brownian motion, the smoke particles
and droplets undergo coalescence and settle
on the smoked products under the effect of
gravitational and centrifugal forces. Their
natural, electrostatic charge and absorption
in the wet surface layer also contribute somewhat
to deposition on the meat. Thus, the
high humidity of the smoke increases the rate
of smoking. On wet surfaces, the deposition
of components present in the dispersing phase is more effective than that of the
particles and droplets. A rise in the temperature
of the smoke also accelerates sorption
of these compounds by the meat being
smoked.
