Abstract

The moisture adsorption isotherms and the isosteric heat of adsorption for the facheiro (Cereus squamosus) flour dried at 60°C were determined in the present work.
The isotherms of flour were obtained at the temperatures of 10, 20, 30 and 40°C, by means of gravimetric static method, using satured salt solutions.
The GAB, Oswin, Halsey and Darcy-Watt models were fitted to the experimental data by the nonlinear regression analysis method.
The isosteric heat of adsorption was calculated by means of Clausius-Clayperon and Sopade and Ajisegiri equations.
According to the results, the DArcy-Watt model presented the best fit and the Sopade and Ajisegiri represented the isosteric heat of adsorption.
