Moisture Sorption Isotherms of Canola Meals, and Applications to Packaging

Moisture Sorption Isotherms of Canola Meals, and Applications to Packaging

ABSTRACT Moisture sorption isotherms were determined for defatted canola meal at 16, 22, and 34°C. The isotherms were fitted to the Guggenheim‐Anderson‐deBoer (GAB) sorption equation. This equation was then used to develop a packaging model that predicted the changes of moisture con‐tent of canola m...

Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT Moisture sorption isotherms were determined for defatted canola meal at 16, 22, and 34°C. The isotherms were fitted to the Guggenheim‐Anderson‐deBoer (GAB) sorption equation. This equation was then used to develop a packaging model that predicted the changes of moisture con‐tent of canola meal under stated environmental and packaging conditions. The model was tested using Melinex 813 (12 μm) and Propafilm C (28 μm) packaging films at 86% relative humidity and 23°C. The GAB equation provided a good fit to experimental data (
