In PUPMSI: Moisture Sorption Isotherm Modeling Program

Caurie Moisture Sorption Isotherm

Description

Caurie model is a two-parameter isotherm created for calculation of water sorption data of dehydrated foods over a wide range of water activity.

Usage

CaurieMSI(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 Caurie Moisture Sorption Isotherm model.
