The results show that the monolayer moisture content with increasing temperature between 5 and 40 eC. This behavior has been reported for raisin, dried apricot, and fig (Ayranci et al.. 1990: Saravacos et al. 1986) and has been attributed in the literature to the reduction in the active sites due to chemical and physical changes (eg. reduction in hydrogen bonding degree) taking place as the temperature increases, the extent of which depends on the nature of the food.
