The Thermal analysis of aspartic and glutamic acid samples in potassium chloride (KCl) matrix at 10 % (w/w) interval ratios of amino acid and KCl was investigated by using thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry in order to study their decomposition. The samples were subjected to a heating rate of 10 °C/min under nitrogen atmosphere. These thermogravimetric data were analyzed by a software PSI (Poly Software International) Plot version 9.5 to determine the kinetic parameters like activation energy (Ea), pre-exponential factor (A) and order of the reaction (n) for the reactions occurring in each sample. An interesting trend was observed in the kinetic parameters as the percentage of potassium chloride varied and this observation can be attributed to the potassium ion interaction with amino acid molecules to form complexes. The results obtained in this study correspond to the reactions occurring in these samples at higher temperatures, as proposed in the literature, but provide further insight to their reaction pathways.
