Thermodynamic properties of Buriti (Mauritia flexuosa) tree gum [PDF]
Food Science and Technology, 2018 Abstract Moisture adsorption and desorption isotherms from buriti tree gum (BG) were obtained at different temperatures (25 to 55 °C) in a water activity range of 0.1 to 0.9. The isotherms were classified as type II. The hysteresis loop and moisture of the monolayer decreased as temperature increased and Halsey’s equation proved able to predict with ...
