Monolayer moisture content of some legume seeds

2000

Menkov, N.D. (Higher Inst. of Food and Flavour Industries, Plovdiv (Bulgaria))

The equilibrium moisture contents (dry weight basis) in legume seeds (common bean, broad bean, lentil, chickpea and vetch) were determined using the gravimetric static method at 5, 20, 40 and 60 deg C 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 increase in temperature. The modified BET model includes the effect of temperature. The seeds have a monolayer moisture content when stored at relative humidity from 0.160 to 0.235 regardless of the temperature.
