Abstract: The static gravimetric method, along with different saturated salt solutions, was used in a range of water activity (aw) of 0.11–0.88, and at 288.15, 298.15 y 308.15 K, to obtain sorption isotherms of freeze-dried pulp of mango. At a given aw the results show that the moisture content decreases with increasing temperature. BET, G.A.B, Halsey, Henderson, Oswin and Smith were evaluated to determine the best fit for the experimental data. A nonlinear regression–analysis method was used to evaluate the constants of equations. The BET and GAB models were the most suitable to described the sorption curves; the monolayer-content values for the sorption at different temperatures are calculated. The isosteric sorption heat was determines for adsorption of freeze-dried pulp of mango using the relevant thermodynamic relations (i.e., Clausius Clapeyron equation).
Keywords: Mango, sorption isotherm, sorption models, isosteric heat of sorption, water activity.
