Abstract
The equilibrium moisture content of maize, wheat and potato starches, alginic acid, tragacanth, acacia, lactose, dextrose, sucrose and hexamine has been determined at different relative humidities and temperatures. Samples were exposed to an atmosphere of controlled temperature and humidity until equilibrium was attained. The moisture content was determined by drying. The moisture content of each powder at equilibrium was dependent on the relative humidity.Keywords
