MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY OF WORK Characteristics of the research material The research material was commercial fibre and fruit pomace from chokeberry, blackcurrant and apples in the form of powders obtained from GreenField Sp. z o.o.  Sp. k. (Warsaw). The tested materials were uniformly finely divided in the range of 0-425 μm. Before examining the kinetics and isotherms of water vapor adsorption, the […]
