          Abstract

          RESUMO A secagem natural consistiu na exposição das plantas à luz solar. Este processo foi conduzido até que as sementes atingissem teor de umidade de aproximadamente 6% b.u. Os teores de umidade de equilíbrio foram determinados utilizando-se soluções de ácido sulfúrico, com 98% de pureza, para uma faixa de umidade relativa de 17 a 85%. As amostras eram armazenadas em potes herméticos contendo as respectivas soluções e levadas a incubadoras com temperatura controlada de 20, 30 e 40º C ± 1º C. Para o ajuste das isotermas de sorção foram testados os modelos de BET, GAB, Halsey e Oswin, com a finalidade de se obter os seus coeficientes por meio de regressão não linear. Ante os resultados, concluiu-se a necessidade de 35 dias para as sementes atingirem a umidade de 6,1% b.u. e o modelo GAB foi o que se ajustou melhor aos dados experimentais.

          ABSTRACT The drying consisted of plant exposure to solar light. This procedure was conducted until the seeds reached a moisture content of approximately 6% wet basis. The equilibrium moisture contents were determined, by the statistic method using sulfuric acid solutions with 98% purity for a relative humidity varying from 17 to 85%. The samples were placed in wire baskets and stored in hermetic bottles containing the respective solution, and placed inside the incubator with the temperature controlled at 20, 30 and 40º C ± 1º C. For the sorption isotherms adjustments, the BET, GAB, Halsey and Oswin models were tested in order to obtain the coefficients of these equations by non-linear regression analysis. According to the results, it may be concluded that the seeds need 35 days to reach the moisture content equal to 6.1% wet basis and the GAB model showed best adjustment for the experimental data.
