As it was expected, it can be seen from the
obtained results that the humidity values decreased
as temperature arose. The highest decrease was
observed during the first week of storage. In the
case of wet baled bagasse (“IN” and “DH”), the
initial humidity decreased from circa 50% to 35% in
the first week, and after 6-7 weeks, a value of 15%
was reached.
The humidity of the pre-dried baled bagasse (“PR”)
decreased similarly from an initial value of 25% to
15% in an equal period. The observed humidity
variations can be mainly due to changes in ambient
humidity registered in the rain season of the year in
the zone where the experiments were carried out
