Moisture equilibrium data adsorption and desorption of buckwheat grain were determined using the static gravimetric method of saturated salt solutions at three temperatures 10, 25 and 40°C. The range of water activities for each temperature was between 0.11 and 0.85. Equilibrium moisture content decreased with increase in storage temperature at constant water activity. A suitable model was selected to describe the water sorption isotherms. The monolayer moisture content of the grain was estimated and the optimal storage water activity was proposed.
