Moisture sorption isotherms and heat of sorption of Algerian bay leaves (Laurus nobilis)
The moisture sorption isotherms of Algerian bay leaves (Laurus nobilis) were determined experimentally in this work. The equilibrium moisture contents of the leaves were measured at 40, 50, and 60 °C using static gravimetric method. Six mathematical models were tested to fit the experimental data of...
