ADSORPTION ISOTHERMS OF KIWIFRUIT DRIED BY DIFFERENT DRYING METHODS
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the moisture adsorption isotherms of kiwifruit dried by hot air, vacuum and freeze drying methods. Equilibrium moisture contents (EMC) of dried kiwifruits were obtained by using the standard gravimetric method at two different temperatures (25 and 45°C) within a range of water activities from 0.112 to 0.936. The adsorption isotherms of dried kiwifruits decreased with increasing temperature and exhibited type III behavior. Six different isotherm equations (GAB (Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer), BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller), Oswin, Henderson, Halsey and Peleg) were employed to describe the experimental adsorption isotherm data. Adsorption data obtained at both 25 and 45°C for vacuum dried samples and data obtained at 45°C for hot air and freeze dried samples were best represented by Peleg equation. For the samples dried by hot air and freeze drying, GAB equation gave the best description of the experimental data obtained at 25°C.
