The moisture adsorption behavior is a fundamental knowledge in the processing and storage of food materials. In this paper, the experimental adsorption behavior of wheat, rice and corn flours were compared with five widely recommended adsorption models (BET, GAB, Oswin, Smith and Halsey) in the literature. From the sorption data, monolayer moisture content of wheat, rice and corn flours were estimated as per BET and GAB models. For all flours, GAB model gave higher monolayer moisture content compare to the BET model. Linear regression analysis was done to determine the model constants where all models were compared using regression coefficient and standard error of the estimate. It was observed that there is no single model that could describe accurately the sorption isotherm over the whole range of water activity (aw) and for all types of flours. BET model was found as the best model for the prediction of equilibrium moisture content (EMC) of the most stable region (i.e. EMC corresponding to aw range below 0.52) but it was not suitable at aw above 0.52. The GAB model was found to be the most suitable to predict the EMC for wide range of water activity (0.11 to 0.93). The Agriculturists 2018; 16(2) 35-42

The hydrophobic-polar (HP) model has emerged as one of the standard approaches for simulating protein folding. In this work, we used this model together with Wang–Landau (WL) sampling and appropriate Monte Carlo trial moves to determine the density of states and thermodynamics for two cases: Protein adsorption and protein confinement, in the vicinity of attractive surfaces. The influence on the adsorption behavior of surface attractive strength in the adsorption case and volumetric spaces in the confinement case will be discussed.
