Determination of desorption isotherms, latent heat and isosteric heat of pequi diaspore

ABSTRACT The objective was to determine water sorption isotherms of diaspores of pequi fruits in order to obtain information on the amount of water that this product desorbs at the temperatures of 10, 20, 30 and 40 °C and water activities from 0.20 to 0.89, adjusting different mathematical models to...
