Abstract
The ERH step-by-step determinating technique was performed to measure the desorption and adsorption properties of seven agricultural products dried with different temperatures to compare the factors affecting ERH/EMC properties. The results indicated that the effect of drying temperature on ERH/EMC properties was significant for rough rice, corn kernels, and corn cobs, however, the effect of these properties is not obvious for soybeans and red beans. The hysteresis of corn kernels was reduced by the drying temperatures, however, those of rough rice was not affected by drying treatments. Little moisture hysteresis was appeared in soybeans and red beans. Comparing of this present study with previously published data for agricultural products, there was a good agreement among ERH/EMC data from different sources for the products of rough rice, brown rice, corn cobs and red beans. The inconsistent results were found for soybeans. The serious diversity of the scattering data indicated those properties of corn kernels and sorghum kernels were affected by different factors.
