Determination of Equilibrium Moisture Content in Trade Distribution

Determination of Moisture Content

Drying: moisture measurement at the end of drying is essential to follow up drying course and to decide whether it is achieved or not. On one hand, too long a drying course may have bad consequences for quality and food safety because of unexpected fermentations and mould growth. On the other hand, the next step in the process is storage. Also, drying to a too low moisture content can result in...

Application of Seed Equilibrium Moisture Curves in Agro Physics

The water relations play a fundamental role in seed comprehension of biology. In order to describe the process of drying and the effect on water activity, which controls biological change in storage, a sound knowledge of the relationship between equilibrium moisture content (EMC) and water activity/equilibrium relative humidity (ERH) is essential. The relationship between the total moisture con...

Equilibrium Moisture Content and Moisture Exclusion Efficiency of Acetylated Rattan (calamus Manan)

HISHAM HN, HALE M & NORASIKIN AL. 2014. Equilibrium moisture content and moisture exclusion efficiency of acetylated rattan (Calamus manan). The reduced equilibrium moisture content (EMCR) and moisture exclusion efficiency (MEE) of acetylated rattan was studied in relation with age and time of acetylation. Rattans aged 10 and 13 years grown under rubber trees were reacted with acetic anhydride ...
