Determination of Moisture

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...

Experimental Determination of Moisture Sorption Isotherms of Okro Fruit

The sorption isotherm ( desorption and adsorption ) of okro fruit was determined at three temperatures of 300C,400C and 500C within the range of 1090% Relative humidity (RH). Thymol solution was placed inside the desiccators to prevent microbial growth, particularly at the relative humidity above 65%. Gravimetric method was used for the sorption isotherm where the reading and recording was take...

Determination of the controlling resistance to moisture transfer during drying

In this study the correlation between lag factor G and Page ́s mathematical model parameter n was developed. Using the newly developed correlation the presence of internal or external resistance to moisture transfer during thermal drying can be verified. As modeling tools Artificial neural networks (ANN) and Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) were used. The best model for determinatio...
