As a result, the sorption isotherm and physicochemical properties of solid cocoyam (Size: 95microns) were studied to reveal its suitability in food systems and storage stability. The static gravimetric method was adopted for varied temperatures and relative humidities. The equilibrium moisture content showed differences in the amounts of moisture adsorbed while the sorption isotherm curves obtained revealed typical type II isotherm. Chemical properties determined were moisture content, crude protein, fiber, fat, lipid and ash as well as the carbohydrate content. Also, the physical properties investigated were the water absorption capacity, viscosity and gelatinization temperature. The GAB and BET models were found to describe the data reasonably after their e...
