| ABSTRACT The knowledge of hygroscopicity is essential for the storage of tamarind seeds, but there is a limitation of a judicious statistical parameter to define the best mathematical model to adjust the isotherms of plant products. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the desorption isotherms of tamarind seeds and test the Akaike information criterion (AIC) and Schwarz Bayesian information criterion (BIC) for choosing the best mathematical model. Seeds with an initial moisture content of 21.00 ± 0.10% dry basis (db) were dried at 45 °C until they reached moisture contents of 17.27 ± 0.10, 15.04 ± 0.16, 14.14 ± 0.06, 12.41 ± 0.17, and 10.52 ± 0.12% db. The water activity of the product was determined by the static-indirect method at temperatures of 10,... |
