Abstract
Water and methanol vapor adsorption isotherms for native and modified potato starch were investigated. For obtaining the best fit for the experimental data several models based on the BET approach was evaluated. The hypothesis that water is adsorbed on the starch granules at the primary and secondary adsorption sites as well as a concept considering the adsorbent fractality were also tested. It was found, that the equilibrium adsorption points in the examined range of relative humidity (0.03–0.90) were most accurately predicted by using a three-parameter model, proposed by Kats and Kutarov (1998). For methanol a good representation of experimental data was obtained using model proposed by Talu and Meunier (1996).
