<b>Thermodynamic properties of water desorption of forage turnip seeds

Abstract: ABSTRACT. The purpose of this study was to determine the thermodynamic properties of the process of water sorption in forage turnip seeds. The equilibrium moisture content of forage turnip seeds was determined by the gravimetric-dynamic method for different values of temperature and water activity. According to the results, increasing the moisture content increases the energy required for the evaporation of water in forage turnip seeds, and the values of integral isosteric heat of desorption, within the moistu… Show more

“…The positive Gibbs free energy values are characteristic of an exogenous reaction, that is, one that requires an external agent to supply energy to the environment. These positive values are expected, since desorption is a non-spontaneous process, as verified in the present study for the baru fruits, and corroborate the results obtained by Sousa et al (2015), and Oliveira et al (2014b).…”

“…Also in Table 5, the isokinetic temperature was higher than the harmonic mean temperature, indicating that the process is controlled by enthalpy. These results are in agreement with several researchers who have successfully applied the isokinetic theory on the sorption of several products (Lago et al, 2013;Sousa et al, 2015;Lago & Noreña, 2015;. Table 6 shows the Gibbs free energy as a function of moisture contents for each temperature during the desorption process in baru fruits.…”
