Equilibrium moisture content and heat of sorption of longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.)
The equilibrium moisture contents of longan were determined experimentally using the dynamic method at temperatures ranging from 30 to 50°C and water activity ranging from 11 to 97%. The sorption isotherm curves of longan were sigmoidal in shape and decreased with increased temperature at constant r...
