Description Moisture sorption studies carried out at relative humidities ranging from 11 to 92% on 3 different ready-to-eat sweetbars (confectionery products; 45 x 45 x 9.5 mm) based on pre-processed wheat/pulse flours/soji (semolina) indicated that an equlibrium moisture content (EMC) of 7.0 to 7.7% at 65% RH was critical, beyond which sogginess and mould [fungal] growth were observed. Sweetbars packaged in pouches of polypropylene (PP) (50 micron) and metallised polyester/polyethylene (Met.PET/PE) had a shelf-life of up to 150 days under ambient (65% RH and 27
