Hysteresis and thermodynamic properties of water sorption in ‘Malagueta’ pepper seeds
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to determine hysteresis, enthalpy, entropy, enthalpy-entropy compensation theory and Gibbs free energy for water adsorption and desorption in ‘Malagueta’ pepper seeds. Hygroscopic equilibrium moisture contents were determined by the static gravimetric method,...
