Desorption Isotherms for Plantain at Several Temperatures

Moisture equilibrium data for desorption of water from ripe and unripe plantain were obtained at 40°, 50o, 60° and 70o over a range of relative humidities from 10 to 90 percent, using a static gravimetric method. Rite plantain exhibited higher equilibrium moisture content (EMC) than unripe plantain...

description Moisture equilibrium data for desorption of water from ripe and unripe plantain were obtained at 40°, 50o, 60° and 70o over a range of relative humidities from 10 to 90 percent, using a static gravimetric method. Rite plantain exhibited higher equilibrium moisture content (EMC) than unripe plantain under the same conditions. A non-linear least squares regression programme was used to fit 5 desorption isotherm models to the experimental data and the parameters of the models evaluated. Using the modified Halsey model, the minimum standard error of estimates of the EMC was 1.9% for ripe and 1.4% for unripe plantain.
