These assessment comments were submitted on , and refer to this previous version of the article

The paper reports the experimental results of a set of moisture sorption isotherms determinations of several rice/soybean mixtures at several temperatures and their fitting with the BET and GAB model equations. It has several serious shortcomings and is unacceptable for publication in WikiJournal of Science for both lack of general interest and poor technical quality. Specific comments:

  1. The authors, like many in their field, confuse curve-fitting for scientific prediction.
  2. Comparison of the statistical fit a 3-parameters model (GAB) and 2-parameters model (BET) is a futile exercise.
  3. There is no information on whether or how representative the experimental data are.
  4. The very existence a water monolayer, the essence of the two models, has been questioned in the literature and hence the validity of the thermodynamic analysis is highly questionable too.
  5. Most of the data are presented with a ridiculous number of insignificant digits.

Recommendation: Reject.
