摘要
The method is based on equilibration of the sample with an atmosphere of pure water vapor at constant pressure. Water activity is calculated from the sample temperature at equilibrium. A curve describing X = f(a(w)) at constant water vapor pressure (isobar) was established for microcrystalline cellulose and potato starch, within the range 100-150-degrees-C. The precision of the method was evaluated and an empirical model, based on the GAB equation, was developed to fit experimental data. Determination were specifically with isobars at 1 bar, but isobars at other pressures could be determined by modifying the system.
