Abstract
Moisture sorption isotherms of grape pestil and foamed grape pestil were determined using the static gravimetric method at 10, 20 and 30 degrees C. The overall shape of the curves was typical of sugar-rich materials. The effect of temperature on moisture content in the lower aw range was not significant (P > 0.05). Four models, namely the Brunauer, Emmet and Teller (BET), the Guggenheim, Anderson and DeBoer (GAB) the Halsey and the Oswin, were evaluated to determine the best fit for the experimental data. The BET and GAB models fitted well the data of the samples in the temperature and water activity range studied. The Clausius-Clapeyron equation was used to evaluate the isosteric heats of sorption.
