摘要:Moisture sorption isotherms of peppermint tea treated by thermal and biochemical process were determined at 30, 40 and 50°C using the static gravimetric method. GAB model found to be the most suitable model for describing the sorption curves among three well-known tested equations. Thermodynamic properties such as differential enthalpy and entropy of sorption were determined from moisture adsorption and desorption data, using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. The experimental data showed that enthalpy-entropy compensation theory was applicable to the moisture sorption behaviour of peppermint tea
