All the reported measurements were performed using the
standard Hiden Isochema IGAsorp instrument (see technical
data sheet 143) with a refrigerated water bath to thermostat
the sample chamber. The IGAsorp is a fully automated system,
which allows the accurate and efficient determination of
moisture sorption equilibrium isotherms and kinetics in
foodstuffs.
The purpose of this experiment was to demonstration the
application of the IGAsorp in the area of food research.
The equilibrium isotherm with GAB analysis is presented
together with the results of kinetic analysis showing the
variation of equilibration time with humidity.
