Iglesias-Chirife Moisture Sorption Isotherm

Description

Iglesias-Chirife Isotherm is an an empirical equation for describing water sorption behavior of various fruits and other sugar-rich foods.

Usage

IgleChiMSI(WaterAct, AdsorpM, DesorpM)

Arguments

WaterAct

the numerical value of Water Activity, which ranges from 0 to 1.

AdsorpM

the numerical value of the Moisture content of the Adsorption curve, which ranges from 0 to 1.

DesorpM

the numerical value of the Moisture content of the Desorption curve, which ranges from 0 to 1.

Value

the nonlinear regression, parameters, and graphical visualization for the Iglesias-Chirife Moisture Sorption Isotherm model.
