Searching the best equilibrium moisture equation for lettuce seeds using measures of curvature and bias
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present work, we performed a discrimination analysis of the nonlinear equations used to describe sorption isotherms of the lettuce seeds. The equilibrium data were obtained by the static method using saturated salt solutions. The best model to describe the equilibrium moisture of lettuce seeds was selected using measures of curvature and bias. The obtained results showed that the Copace equation was the best model in terms of nonsignificance for bias and nonlinearity measures.

Prediction of Equilibrium Moisture Contents of Black Grape Seeds (Siah Sardasht cultivar) at Various Temperatures and Relative Humidity: Hhelf-Life Criteria
Background and Objectives: Food wastes are sometimes valuable; of which, seeds are significantly important. Grape seeds, as byproduct of grape processing, contain valuable substances for the production of advanced oils as well as feeds. Therefore, the major aim of this study was to assess moisture sorption isotherms of black grape seeds at various conditions. Materials and Methods: Moisture so...
متن کاملPrimed Lettuce Seeds Exhibit Increased Sensitivity to Moisture during Aging
The Ellis-Roberts seed viability equation is accepted as an accurate predictor of seed longevity over a range of storage temperatures and moisture contents (MC). One application of this model is to identify different combinations of seed MC and temperature that can result in similar seed storage lifetimes. The present study was conducted to determine whether the reduction in storage life of pri...
متن کاملSurvival and vigour of ultra-dry seeds after ten years of hermetic storage
Seeds of carrot, groundnut, lettuce, oilseed rape and onion were stored hermetically in laminated aluminium foil packets in four environments (dry or ultra-dry moisture contents combined factorially with temperatures of 20°C or -20°C), replicated at several sites. After ten years’ hermetic storage, seed moisture content, equilibrium relative humidity, viability (assessed by ability to germinate...
متن کاملApplication 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...
