Isotherms and thermodynamic properties of water adsorption in ‘Cumari-do-Pará’ pepper seeds

Abstract: Studies related to water sorption in seeds are essential for the design and optimization of storage systems. The objective of this research was to determine and model the adsorption isotherms and calculate the latent heat of water vaporization, differential enthalpy and entropy, the isokinetic theory and Gibbs free energy for 'Cumari-do-Pará' pepper seeds. The equilibrium moisture contents were obtained by the static gravimetric method at temperatures of 30, 35 and 40 °C and water activities between 0.290 and … Show more
