Abstract Moisture sorption isotherms for pistachio powder were determined by gravimetric method at temperatures of 15, 25, 35 and 40°C. A selected mathematical models were tested to determine the best suitable model to predict isotherm curve. The results show that Caurie model had the most satisfactory goodness of fit. Also, another purpose of this research was to introduce a new methodology to determine the amount of hysteresis at different temperatures by using best predictive model of isotherm curve based on definite integration method. The results demonstrated that maximum hysteresis is related to the multi-layer water (in the range of water activity 0.2-0.6) which corresponds to the capillary condensation region and this phenomenon decreases with increasing temperature.

Urtica dioica is a Moroccon endemic plant of used for its virtues in traditional medicine. Thus, it is necessary to study the effect of preservation processes on the storage conditions of the plant. The static gravimetric method was used to determine sorption isotherms of Urtica dioica leaves at three temperatures (40, 50 and 60 °C) and in the range of water activity ( w a ) ranging from 0.0572 to 0.898. Six mathematical models were used to fit the experimental data. The Enderby and Peleg models were found to be the most suitable for describing the sorption curves. The optimal water activity for conservation of Urtica dioica leaves was determined. Isosteric heats of desorption and adsorption were calculated by applying the Clausius- Clapeyron equation to the sorption isotherms at different temperatures; it decreased with increasing moisture content. A linear relation exists between the enthalpy and entropy of the sorption reaction.

ABSTRACT Sorption isotherms are of great importance in post-harvest procedures, especially for predicting drying and storage, which help to establish the final moisture content of the product under certain environmental condition. Hysteresis is a phenomenon that occurs due to the difference between adsorption and desorption curves, which aids the evaluation of chemical and microbiological deteriorations, indicating the stability of stored products. Moisture sorption isotherms of castor beans were determined and hysteresis was analyzed. Static gravimetric technique at different temperatures (25, 35, 45 and 55 ± 1 °C) was used. Saturated salt solutions in the range of 37-87% ± 2% were utilized to create the required controlled relative humidity environment. Equilibrium moisture content data were correlated by different mathematical models and the Modified Halsey model presented good adjustment for the data, according to statistical procedures. Hysteresis between adsorption and desorption isotherms is present over the range of 0.2-0.9 of water activity, regardless of the temperature. This phenomenon decreases with temperature increase.

Paulownia Wood

Abstract. Understanding of moisture sorption isotherms (MSI) is critical for predicting the stability of wood during handling, transport, and storage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the adsorption and desorption isotherm characteristics of high-pressure (HP) treated paulownia wood and to identify the best-fitting model to describe its sorption behavior. The equilibrium moisture contents (EMCs) of HP-treated paulownia wood were obtained using a static gravimetric method under different storage conditions: three temperatures (20°C, 30°C, and 40°C) and five water activity (aw) levels (0.32 to 0.95). Results showed that HP parameters did not significantly affect the MSI trend of treated groups. Eight modified models (modified Chung-Pfost, modified Henderson, modified Oswin, modified Halsey, Chen-Clayton, Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer (GAB), simply modified GAB, and Peleg) were fitted to the experimental data. The Chen-Clayton model (temperature-dependent) produced randomized residuals and the best prediction performance for both adsorption and desorption among all models. Net isosteric heat of adsorption and desorption decreased from 7.55 to 4.84 kJ mol-1 and from 18.1 to 12.2 kJ mol-1, respectively, with an increase in EMC from 7.5% to 10%. The isosteric temperature (Tß) was 352 K for adsorption and 335 K for desorption, between which all the adsorption and desorption reactions proceeded at the same rate. All thermodynamic functions were adequately characterized by a power law model.

The Relationship

Insights into the relationship between the air relative humidity (water activity (aw)) and equilibrium moisture content of food materials is essential to maintain good keeping quality and optimize process operation. The adsorption isotherms for cassava flour (lafun) were investigated with the static gravimetric method. Concentrated acid (H2SO4) solutions were used to vary the micro-climate in the study and presented in an easy-to-use template-like format over the range of temperature (27- 40oC) and aw (0.10-0.80) usually experienced in the tropical environment. The experimental data were compared with five widely recommended models in the literature for food sorption isotherms (GAB, modified GAB, modified Oswin, modified Henderson & modified Chung-Pfost). The moisture sorption isotherms were sigmoidal in shape and were influenced by temperature. The modified Oswin model was found to be most adequate whilst the modified GAB appears not suitable to model the adsorption isotherms for lafun.

Yogurt powder was produced by freeze drying and with added candied chestnut puree at ratios of 5, 10, and 20 % by weight. Moisture sorption isotherms of yogurt powder samples, plain (YP), and containing 5, 10, 20% candied chestnut puree (CCP) were determined at 25°C using the standard, static-gravimetric method. The experimental adsorption data of yogurt powders at 25°C were fitted to 14 sorption equations which are most widely used to fit experimental sorption data of various food materials. The parameters of the sorption models were estimated from the experimental results by using the nonlinear regression analysis. The GAB model gave the closet fit to the sorption data of freeze dried yogurt powders with candied chestnut puree at 25°C. BET, Ferro Fanton, Henderson, Halsey, Oswin and Modified Oswin models are also acceptable for describing the adsorption isotherms for freeze dried yogurt with candied chestnut puree at 25°C.

A study on the effect of the physical properties and moisture sorption isotherm of palm kernels constitutes the critical criteria in evaluating the drying performance. The drying was evaluated as a function of moisture content (MC) in the range of 0.31–0.02 kg/kg (d.b.). Whereas, the equilibrium moisture content (EMC) of palm kernels (whole kernel and ground kernel) was determined experimentally using the standard gravimetric method at different temperatures (50 °C to 80 °C), over a range of relative humidity (RH) from 10% to 81%. Palm kernel length, width, and thickness decrease from 16.08 ± 2.09 mm to 14.17 ± 2.30 mm, 12.06 ± 1.40 mm to 11.24 ± 1.08 mm, and 10.01 ± 1.27 mm to 9.18 ± 1.04 mm, respectively, when MC decreased. Bulk density, surface area, and specific surface area decreased as the MC decreased, while porosity and true density were increased. EMC of palm kernels (whole kernel and ground kernel) decreased with an increase in temperature at constant RH. Modified Oswin and modified Halsey models were found to be the best for predicting desorption moisture isotherms for whole and ground palm kernel, respectively. Therefore, the study of the effect of drying on physical aspects as well as moisture sorption isotherms is important to further analyze the drying performance of Tenera palm kernel (e.g., equipment design and energy requirement).

AbstractThe moisture sorption characteristics of dakuwa at 10, 20, 30 and 400°C were studied. The experimental sorption data obtained were applied to BET, GAB, Oswin and Henderson equations to test fitness of the equations to moisture sorption of dakuwa. The sorption isotherms of dakuwa were type III isotherms (J shaped), and the equilibrium moisture content increased with increasing water activity but decreased with increasing temperature. The BET and GAB monolayer moisture contents all decreased with increasing temperature. For adsorption, the BET monolayer was higher (3.163–4.158 g/100 g solid) than that of GAB (2.931–3.728 g/100 g solid), but for desorption, the GAB monolayer (4.792–7.741 g/100 g solid) was higher than that of BET (3.962–4.480 g/100 g solid). Evaluation of goodness of fit of models revealed that moisture sorption of dakuwa was best modelled by GAB equation.

Water Sorption Isotherms

The water sorption isotherms of carrot were determined at five different temperatures (at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50ºC) within wide ranges of moisture content (1.3-78.4 kg water /100 kg dry matter) and water activities (0.165-0.907) by using a standardized conductivity thermohygrometer. The sorption isotherms exhibited the type III behaviour, thus, an increase in temperature promoted a decrease in water activity. The GAB, Halsey, Henderson, Iglesias & Chirife and Oswin models were tested to fit the experimental data by using nonlinear regression analysis. The GAB and Henderson models satisfactorily described the sorption isotherms (mean relative error < 5.6%). The net isosteric heat of sorption (Qstn) and the differential entropy (Sd), estimated as functions of the moisture content, decreased as the carrot moisture content increased.

High Amylose

Moisture sorption isotherms of high amylose corn starch (HACS) films at 5, 25, 35 and 45 °C within an approximate water activity ( aw) range of 0.11-0.85 were obtained using a static gravimetric method. HACS films fitted a type III BET model at all temperatures studied. Water sorption process in high amylose based films was exothermic within the range of water activities investigated. There was a continuous decrease of the affinity between film sorbed structure with moisture as water content increased. Negative values of Δ G in the whole range of moisture content studied were indicative of a spontaneous process. The entropy curve exhibited a well-defined minimum corresponding at the completion of the monolayer.
