The three-parameter GAB equation was evaluated for its ability to describe the sorption data for several
agricultural products. The GAB equation describes the relationship between equilibrium moisture content and equilibrium
relative humidity (ERH) or water activity (Aw) at a fixed temperature. With Aw as the dependent variable, the equation
becomes very complex. The residual plots of this model showed that it does not fit well for starchy products. For most
products, the parameters of the GAB equation did not exhibit the Arrhenius-type relationship with temperature. To
incorporate the temperature term into the parameters, the number of parameters in the model increases, making it less
useful. The GAB equation is not an adequate sorption model for all agricultural products.
