Specialty coffee is highly differentiated product because of  its sensorial attributes: aroma, body and brand reputation. In specialized markets, these products are highly valued, and sometimes up to six times their commercial value is paid. Thus, it is essential to preserve their freshness. Sorption isotherms are necessary for determining and studying water sorption changes in specialty coffee during storage. This study aimed to determine the adsorption isotherms of specialty ground roasted-coffee at temperatures of 25 °C, 30 °C and 40 °C and water activities between 0.1 and 0.8 using the dynamic dewpoint method (DDI). The experiment sorption data were modeled using 12 different equations with non-linear regression to represent the dependence of the equilibrium moisture content with both water activity and temperature. In addition, the thermodynamic properties were determined with the experiment adsorption data. The results showed that type III isotherms were obtained according to the Brunauer classification, and the Weibull equation satisfactorily modeled the effect of the temperature on the hygroscopic equilibrium in the specialty ground roasted-coffee. The results of thermodynamic analysis showed that the net isosteric heat of adsorption and Gibbs free energy decreased as the equilibrium moisture content increased, indicating the amount of energy released, a strong bond energy between water molecules in the product components and spontaneity in the adsorption process. The entropy of the adsorption increased with the moisture content, leading to product stability conditions during storage. The results were similar to those reported for the roasted and ground coffee of others cultivars.

Abstract Adsorption and desorption isotherms of fresh and dried murtilla (Ugni molinae Turcz) berries were determined at 20, 40 and 60°C using a gravimetric technique. The experimental data obtained were fitted to eight models, namely GAB, BET, Henderson, Caurie, Smith, Oswin, Halsey and Iglesias–Chirife. A non-linear least square regression analysis was used to evaluate the models. The GAB model best fitted the experimental data. Isosteric heat of sorption was determined from the equilibrium sorption data using the Clausius–Clapeyron equation and was found to decrease exponentially with increasing moisture content. The enthalpy–entropy compensation theory applied to the sorption isotherms indicated an enthalpy controlled sorption process. Glass transition temperature of murtilla was determined by differential scanning calorimetry and modelled as a function of moisture content by the Gordon–Taylor equation and as function of water activity by Roos and Khalloufi models, which proved to be excellent tools for predicting glass transition of murtilla.

This study was carried out to evaluate the sorption isotherms of peanut pods, kernels and hulls for several temperature and humidity conditions and to fit different mathematical models to the experimental data, selecting the one best fitting the phenomenon. The dynamic method was applied to obtain the hygroscopic equilibrium moisture content. The environmental conditions were provided by means of an atmospheric conditioning unit, in which removable perforated trays were placed to allow air to pass through peanut mass, each one containing 50 g of the product. The mathematical models frequently used for the representation of hygroscopicity of agricultural products were fit to the experimental data. Based on those results, it was concluded that peanut pods, kernels and hulls presented differentiated hygroscopicity. The equilibrium moisture content for peanut pods, kernels and hulls increased with an increase in the relative humidity at any particular temperature and decreased with increase in temperature at constant relative humidity. At a constant water activity, peanut hulls samples had higher equilibrium moisture content than the pods and kernels samples. Based on statistical parameters, the modified Henderson and Chung-Pfost models were found to adequately describe the sorption characteristics of peanut pods, kernels and hulls. Isosteric heat of desorption were evaluated by applying the Clausius—Clapeyron equation to experimental isotherms and decreased with increasing moisture content. The peanut hulls had higher isosteric heat of sorption than that peanut pods and kernels.

Moisture sorption isotherms of red onion slices were determined at 30, 40, 50, and 60°C using the standard gravimetric static method over a range of relative humidity from 0.11 to 0.83. The experimental sorption curves were fitted by seven empirical equations: modified Henderson, modified Chung–Pfost, modified Halsey, modified Oswin, modified Smith, modified BET, and GAB. Also three types of Artificial neural network models: linear, multilayer perceptron, and radial basis function were tested and developed to predict the equilibrium moisture content of onion slices and the selected models were trained by using related algorithms. The modified Oswin model was found acceptable for predicting adsorption moisture isotherms and fitting to the experimental data, based on the coefficient of determination (R2= 0.991), mean relative percent error (MRE=15.019), and standard error of estimation (SEE=1.371). Besides, multilayer perceptron model with four layers (2: 17: 14: 1) was selected as the best artificial neural network for estimation of onion slices’ equilibrium moisture content by considering R2= 0.993 and good performance. The net isosteric heat of adsorption of moisture was determined by applying the Clausius–Clapeyron equation to the sorption isotherms at different temperatures. The net isosteric heat of adsorption of red onion slices varied between 1.46 and 4.96 kJ/mol at moisture content varying between 2% and 52% (d.b.).

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.

ABSTRACT ‘Sucupira-branca’ (Pterodon emarginatus Vogel) is a tree from ‘Cerrado’ and stands out mainly for its pharmacological properties; however, there are no technological information about its post-harvest operations. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the sorption isotherms of ‘sucupira-branca’ fruits for different air conditions and obtain the values of desorption isosteric heat, depending on the equilibrium moisture content of the product. The equilibrium moisture content of ‘sucupira-branca’ fruits was determined by dynamic method for temperatures of 25, 30, 35 and 40 °C and water activities for each temperature between 0.270 and 0.775. The models Chung-Pfost, Copace, Modified Halsey, Oswin Modified and Sigma Copace obtained high coefficient of determination (R2) and low chi-square (χ2), relative mean error (P) and estimated mean error (SE), and the Copace model was selected to represent the desorption isotherms. The isosteric heat increases with the reduction of equilibrium moisture content and required more energy to remove water from the ‘sucupira-branca’ fruit.

ABSTRACT The objective was to determine water sorption isotherms of diaspores of pequi fruits in order to obtain information on the amount of water that this product desorbs at the temperatures of 10, 20, 30 and 40 °C and water activities from 0.20 to 0.89, adjusting different mathematical models to experimental data, and to determine its latent heat and isosteric heat. The equilibrium moisture content was obtained through the indirect static method, using the device Hygropalm Model Aw 1. The Modified Henderson model was the one that best fitted the data and was selected to predict the equilibrium moisture content of pequi diaspore. It was observed that the higher the temperature for the same equilibrium moisture content (% d.b.), the higher the water activity values. As temperature values increased, there was a reduction in the vaporization latent heat of the product. Isosteric heat values of diaspores of pequi fruits in the moisture content range of 4.02 to 16.63 (% d.b.) varied from 2,776.49 to 2,558.39 kJ kg-1.

Moisture sorption isotherms of Thai Jasmine rice crackers were determined at 30, 45 and 60°C over a water activity range of 0.10 to 0.95 using a static gravimetric technique. Moisture sorption isotherms of rice crackers exhibited the sigmoid (Type II) shape. The moisture content of rice crackers decreased as temperature increased at a given water activity of the storage environment. The Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) and Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer (GAB) models were applied to fit the experimental data. The isosteric heat of sorption at different moisture levels was also determined using the Clausius–Clapeyron thermodynamic equation. A nonlinear regression analysis method was determined to evaluate the parameters of sorption equations. The criteria used to evaluate the goodness of fit of each model were the mean relative percentage deviation modulus (E) and the percentage root mean square error (RMSE). The more extended range of application of the GAB equation over the BET equation was evident. The GAB model gave the best fit to the experimental sorption data for a wide range of water activity (0.10–0.95) while the BET model gave the best fit for a water activity range of less than 0.60. The GAB model is considered suitable to predict the moisture sorption isotherm of rice crackers since it gave low E and RMSE values. The heat of sorption values of rice crackers were found to be large at low moisture content and decreased with an increase in food moisture content.
