The enthalpy-entropy compensation theory was applied to both the sorpt
ion and non-enzymic browning of garlic. The theory was found to explai
n sorption well but gave a non-linear relationship for browning. The r
esulting power law model for sorption was compared with the Guggenheim
-Anderson-de Beer (GAB) model and found to predict higher moisture con
tents at high water activity levels. (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Limited
