ABSTRACT

The broad range of moisture sorption isotherm (MSI) data of mango is divided into two ranges of submoisture sorption isotherms (sub-MSI), corresponding to two different ranges of water activity; the net isosteric heat of sorption (qst) is used as subdivision criterion of these two ranges. the sub-MSI are fitted to a general elquation. the mean error is 5% for the first sub-MSI (qst) and 10% for the second (qst≤ 0).
