          Abstract

          Objetivou-se, neste trabalho, avaliar e modelar as curvas de equilíbrio higroscópico obtidas pelos processos de adsorção e dessorção para os frutos de café (Coffea canephora) maduros (cerejas) para diferentes condições psicrométricas do ar. Nos processos de sorção foram utilizadas diferentes condições de temperatura (entre 10 e 50 °C) e umidade relativa (entre 10 e 95%) até que o produto atingisse o teor de água de equilíbrio com a condição do ar especificada. Aos dados experimentais de sorção foram ajustados diversos modelos matemáticos frequentemente utilizados para representação da higroscopicidade de produtos agrícolas. Verificou-se que o teor de água de equilíbrio dos frutos de café aumentou com a umidade relativa para dada temperatura e diminuiu com o aumento da temperatura para determinada umidade relativa. A histerese foi mais pronunciada na faixa de umidade relativa do ar entre, 65 e 75%. O modelo Sigma-Copace foi o que melhor descreveu a higroscopicidade dos frutos de café, tanto na adsorção quanto na dessorção.

          The objectives of this study were to evaluate and to model the isotherms curves obtained by adsorption and desorption processes for the fruits of ripe (cherries) coffee (Coffea canephora), for different psychrometric conditions of the air. For all sorption processes, different conditions of temperature (between 10 and 50 °C) and relative humidity (between 10 and 95%) were used, until the product reached its equilibrium moisture content with the air condition specified. For experimental data of sorption, different mathematical models often use to represent hygroscopicity of agricultural products were adjusted. It was verified that the equilibrium moisture content of the fruits of coffee increased with relative humidity for a given temperature and decreased with increasing temperature for a given relative humidity. The hysteresis, regardless of temperature, was more pronounced for relative humidity of the air between 65 and 75%. The Sigma-Copace model was the best in describing hygroscopicity of the fruits of coffee both in desorption and adsorption.
