Abstract
Values of the isotherm factor, ∂w/∂X)T, for various dried foods (apple, beef, cod, carrots, fennel, peas, pekanut, potatoes and trout) were calculated and reported as a function of moisture content. The effect of sorption hysteresis on the isotherm factor was also calculated for some foods. It is hoped that these data may be useful for adequately interpreting experimental results on rates of moisture sorption and desorption in dried foods.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
