Moisture sorption isotherms of dietetic R abri were determined at 10, 25 and 37 °C over a water activity range of 0.113–0.868. Sorption isotherms at 37 °C were sigmoidal (type II ) curves, while at 10 °C, they were of type V and T ype I at 25 °C for both adsorption and desorption processes. Five sorption models were tested to fit the experimental data. H alsey's model for 10 °C, C aurie's model for 25 °C and M odified M izrahi's model for 37 °C were found to be the best fit. There was a clear hysteresis effect at 10 °C, whereas the effect gradually decreased and diminished at 37 °C.
