| |
| Purpose: This analyzed and determined the sorption isotherms of raw sugar beet root and its water insoluble components, at various temperatures. The results were evaluated and discussed. |
| | Abstract: The water sorption isotherms of raw sugar beet root and its water insoluble components, at various tempertures, were determined. An attempt is made to describe the experimental equilibrium moisture content data using some existing theories on physical adsorption. |
Data and Results:
Aw values of raw sugar beet root and water insoluble components.
| PRODUCT | Temper- ature, C | Range of Aw |
Raw Sugar Beet Root | 20-47C | 0.05-0.,35 |
Water Insoluble Components | 35C | 0.05-0.83 |
Water Insoluble Components | 47C | 0.05-0.775 |
