<b>Kinetic modeling of water sorption by roasted and ground coffee

Abstract: ABSTRACT. The objective of this study was to model the kinetics of water sorption in roasted and ground coffee. Crude Arabica coffee beans with an initial moisture content of 0.1234 kg w kg dm -1 were used. These beans were roasted to a medium roast level (SCCA # 55) and ground at three particle sizes: coarse (1.19 mm), medium (0.84 mm) and fine (0.59 mm). To obtain the water sorption isotherms and the isosteric heat, different conditions of temperature and relative humidity were analyzed using the dynamic met… Show more

“…Similar isotherm forms and equilibrium moisture content values were reported in dried cocoa beans by Herman et al [19] and in cocoa coatings by Meza et al [20] ; moreover, the authors attributed the trend as representative of most food products rich in soluble components, such as sugars. Other agricultural products with sigmoid-shaped forms include roasted coffee, reported by Baptestini et al [21] ; Oliveira et al [9] , microencapsulated extra virgin olive oil, reported by Bastioğlu et al [6] , spray-dried fat-filled pea protein-based powders, reported by Domian et al [10] , and whole black peppercorns, reported by Yogendrarajah et al [13] It is widely accepted that at constant water activity, an increase in temperature causes a decrease in the amount of sorbed water [10] because the temperature affects the mobility of water molecules and the dynamic equilibrium between the vapor and adsorbed phases. [13] (Figure 1a) shows the effect of temperature on the adsorption isotherms of dried cocoa beans; an increase in temperature causes a decrease in the equilibrium moisture content at constant water activity, and there were statistically significant differences (95%) from water adsorption isotherms at 25, 30 and 40°C in all ranges of a w , as confirmed by analysis of variance.…”

“…Its coefficients are correlated to physical quantities, for example, heat of multilayer water sorption, allowing a more detailed study of the heat and mass transfer during sorption. It was also reported as GAB model is the most appropriate model for roasted ground coffee (Baptestini et al., ). In the present study, the monolayer value ( m m ) was estimated to be 0.0403 g water/g dry weight corresponding to a water activity a w value of 0.29 (Figure B).…”

“…Lewicki (1997) reported that the parameters C and K should be 5.67 ࣘ C ࣘ Ý and 0.24 ࣘ K ࣘ 1 to describe properly a water sorption isotherm mathematically. Baptestini et al (2017) have studied and modeled the water sorption in roasted and grounded coffee as affected by the particle size (coarse, medium, and fine). They have concluded that the GAB model best represented the hygroscopic equilibrium of roasted coffee at every particle size, and calculated similar values for the model parameters (for example, m m = 0.0318, C = 2.707, K = 0.851 for roasted coffee, particle size: fine).…”
