Some commonly used isotherm models to predict equilibrium
176
moisture content (m) from the known water activity (a w ) of
agricultural products.
Some commonly used three-parameter isotherm equations with
177
a temperature term for the calculation of the equilibrium
moisture content (m) of agricultural products (Jayas and Mazza,
1993).
