Kinetics of water sorption of damaged bean grains: Thermodynamic properties

Abstract: A B S T R A C TThis study aims to determine the thermodynamic properties of damaged beans. Grains with initial moisture content of 53.85% (d.b.) were used. A part of the grains was used to obtain the desorption isotherms, while another part was subjected to drying until a moisture content of 5.26% (d.b.) was achieved; therefore, it was subjected to the adsorption process. To induce damage, a Stein breakage tester was used. To obtain the equilibrium moisture content, grains were placed in a climatic chamber who… Show more

“…Furthermore, as TB values were higher than Thm, it can be concluded that the sorption mechanism is controlled by the enthalpy (Corrêa et al, 2012). Previous studies also made the conclusion that sorption was controlled by the enthalpy (Goneli et al, 2013;Corrêa et al, 2015Corrêa et al, , 2017).…”

“…The isokinetic temperature for water desorption was 520.91 K, ranging from 563.58 to 478.25 K. The calculated harmonic mean was 297.73 K, which was different from the described isokinetic temperatures, confirming enthalpyentropy compensation and showing that enthalpy controls the process. These results are in line with those of other studies by several researchers, who used the isokinetic theory for different agricultural products (Oliveira et al, 2014;Sousa et al, 2015;Silva et al, 2015;Resende et al, 2017;Corrêa et al, 2017).…”

“…The dependence of the equilibrium water content of a given product with relative humidity and equilibrium temperature can be expressed by mathematical equations, which are called sorption isotherms or hygroscopic equilibrium curves (Correa et al, 2014). The sorption isotherms that can be obtained by means of mathematical models and the other thermodynamic properties, have been studied by several researchers Barbosa et al, 2016;Corrêa et al, 2017;da Silva et al, 2015;de Oliveira et al, 2017).…”
