Equilibrium moisture content of bell pepper [PDF]
Equilibrium moisture content (EMC) of bell pepper at selected levels of temperature (30-70°C) and relative humidity (10-75%) of the surrounding air was determined experimentally by the static method. The EMC increased with relative humidity but decreased with increase in temperature.
