Modelling the drying of a twig of "yerba maté" considering as a composite material: Part I: Shrinkage, apparent density and equilibrium moisture content

Physical properties for bark and xylem of twigs of yerba maté were analyzed to use them in a mathematical model for describing the drying of composite materials. Shrinkage coefficient and apparent density depended on moisture content and were found to be different for both regions. Equilibrium moist...

description Physical properties for bark and xylem of twigs of yerba maté were analyzed to use them in a mathematical model for describing the drying of composite materials. Shrinkage coefficient and apparent density depended on moisture content and were found to be different for both regions. Equilibrium moisture contents for different water activity values were measured at temperatures between 30 and 90 °C. Desorption moisture isotherms varied with the type of material and with temperature. Between 30 and 60 °C, the GAB model exhibited the better fit to the sorption data, while in the range 70-90 °C, experimental data were better described by the Halsey's model.
