The study was carried out for the purpose of determining the drying kinetics as well as moisture sorption isotherm of hybrid-81 corn. Corn at about 31% moisture content (wb) was dried in a forced convective hot air cabinet dryer at different drying conditions, such as variable air dry bulb temperature (40°C, 50°C and 60°C) and loading density (3.56 kg/m2, 7.12 kg/m2, and 10.68 kg/m2) as well as in shining sun at different layers (3.56 kg/m2, 7.12 kg/m2, and 10.68 kg/m2). The water sorption isotherm of the dried corn was developed using vacuum desiccators, which contained saturated salt solutions in the range of 11-93% RHs. The mono-layer moisture content calculated by the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) model (6.76 g/100 g solid) was lesser than that calculated by the Guggenheim–Anderson–De Boer (GAB) model (10.53 g/100 g solid). The energy constants were 10.45 and 4.64 as per BET and GAB equation, respectively. Both models gave suitable fits for corn. The activation energy (Ea) for diffusion of water was found to be 11.09 kcal/gm-mole for corn. Furthermore, it was noticed that, with the increase of corn layer, the drying rate decreased in case of both sun and mechanical drying. However, higher loading density resulted in efficient drying, at least up to 10.7 kg/m2. It was shown that the drying time to obtain stability was the lowest for moisture content (12.08 %) corresponding to aw of 0.65 in case of BET or GAB monolayer moisture content. This finding could be helpful in predicting the storage life of corn.J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 15(2): 309-317, December 2017

The research was aimed to obtain moisture sorption curve , moisture sorption isotherm models and obtain determine the water content monoleyer of fermented sweet potato flour with red yeast rice.The moisture sorption isotherm model used are GAB (Guggenheim Anderson deBoer), BET (Brunauer Emmet Teller) and Caurie.Meanwhile, the test of modelling accuray by MRD (Mean Relative Deviation). The results showed that the water sorption isotherm curve of sweet potato flour fermented with red yeast rice Sigmoid shaped the approach of type II. The precise mathematical models are models of GAB (Guggenheim Anderson deBoer) with a value of MRD at a temperature of 30 °C, 35 °C, 40 °C respectively at 4.41%, to 2.50%, 3.37%. Moisture content of the monolayer at temperature of 30 °C, 35 °C and 40 °C in GAB model was 7.34%, 6.57%, 16.09%, BET model was 2.09%, 1.05%, 4.26%, and Caurie model was 1.41%, 1.36%, 1.42%.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15408/jkv.v0i0.4814

The water sorption characteristics of dehydrated onion and onion solutes composite by vacuum drying (VD) and air drying (AD) were developed at room temperature using vacuum desiccators containing saturated salt solutions at various relative humidity levels (11-93%). From moisture sorption isotherm data, the monolayer moisture content was estimated by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer (GAB) equation using data up to a water activity of 0.52 and 0.93 respectively. Results showed that in case of non treated samples the monolayer moisture content values (Wo) of BET gave slightly higher values than GAB (9.7 vs 8.2) for VD, while GAB gave higher value than BET (11.0 vs 9.8) for AD. It is also seen that the treated and non treated onion slice and onion powder absorbed approximately the same amount of water at water activities below about 0.44 and above 0.44 the treated samples begin to absorb more water than the non treated samples. It was observed that 10-20% added of sugar gave no change in water sorption capacity while the amount of sorbed water increases with increasing amount added salt for mix onion product.Bangladesh J.
