## Abstract Nowadays the treatment of activated sludge often includes a thermal drying step. Data such as water vapour sorption isotherms and heat of sorption are required for good design and control of the drying processes. An equilibrium method was used to measure these data on domestic activated

Abstract
Moisture equilibrium data (adsorption and desorption) of rice flour were determined using the static gravimetric method of saturated salt solutions at three storage temperatures: 10, 20 and 30°C. The range of water activities for each temperature was from 0.11 to 0.85. Equilibrium moisture content decreased with increase in storage temperature at any given water activity. The experimental data were fitted to four mathematical models (modified Oswin, modified Halsey, modified Chung‐Pfost and modified Henderson). The monolayer moisture content was estimated from sorption data using the Brunauer‐Emmett‐Teller (BET) equation. The isosteric heats of sorption were evaluated using Clausius‐Clapeyron equation.

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** In recent years, germinated brown rice as a functional food has received great attention with its improved sensory and nutritional properties. Particularly of interest are the high levels of γ‐amino butyric acid (GABA) which can be obtained during germination. However, m
