✦ Synopsis

In this research, the most commonly used equilibrium moisture content (EMC) and equilibrium relative humidity (ERH) equations are compared on their ability to best "t the published sorption data for selected medicinal and aromatic plants. A non-linear regression technique is used to "t data subsets. In order to compare the performance of the EMC/ERH equations, three statistical error parameters are used. The best-"tted equations which provide a sound basis for future work on drying and storage of medicinal and aromatic plants are given.
