Abstract:This study aimed to obtain the sorption isotherms of grain sorghum flour, fit mathematical models to experimental data, and recommend safe water levels for preserving the material at different temperatures. Sorghum grains with an initial moisture content of 34% dry basis (db) were subjected to drying at a temperature of 60 °C, reaching moisture contents ranging from 32.20 to 9.8% db. Water activity was obtained using Hygropalm Aw1 equipment placed inside a BOD chamber at temperatures of 10, 20, 30, and 40 °C. … Show more
