Abstract
The kinetics of water vapour sorption of drum-dried banana was determi ned at several conditions of temperature (10, 22, 30 and 40-degrees-C) and relative humidity (31-97%). For relative humidities below 75% the re was a large reduction in sorption rate for a small amount of water absorbed. This type of product presents a very porous structure.
