Monolayer moisture content of some legume seeds

1999

Menkov, N. | Higher Institute of Food Industry, BG-4000 Plovdiv (Bulgaria))

The equilibrium moisture contents in legume seeds (common bean, broad bean, lentil, chickpea and vetch) were determined using the gravimetric static method at 5, 20, 40 and 60C degree over a range of relative humidities from 0.110 to 0.450. The monolayer moisture content (MMC) of the seeds is obtained by the BET( Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) and modified BET model. The MMC decreased with the increased in temperature. The modified BET model included the effect of temperature. The seeds have a monolayer moisture content when stored at relative humidity from 0.16 to 0.24 regardless of the temperature.
