The objective of this work was done to investigate the effect of temperature and relative humidity on the equilibrium moisture content (EMC) of local cardamom (Amomum cardamomum Wild) and to get the appropriate mathematical models. The EMC of local cardamom were determined by dynamic method using laboratory air dryer at the temperature of 40, 50 and 600C and at the relative humidity of 20, 40 and 60%. Four widely used three parameters sorption isotherms equations such as modified Henderson, modified Chung–Pfost, modified Oswin and modified Halsey were used to fit the experimental data. The accuracy of the model was evaluated …
