Prediction of moisture content of grains during re-wetting process for milling [electronic resource]

Includes bibliographic reference

The main objectives of the present research work were to study the effects Of moisture content on some characteristics of grains. the method could
be used by grain industry to sequence be have moisture content during re-wetting processing and to predict moisture content by calibration of
electric resistance of grains to increase grain quality in order to minimize
grain.Corn variety 10, Wheat variety Giza 168 and Rice variety Sakha
103 grains were used in the experiments as re-wetting process and
measurements. Grains were with the initial moisture content of about
12.5%, 12% and 11% (b. d) for corn, wheat and rice grains. The grains
were milled using hammer mill. The following most tmprtant results
conclusions were found, 1) The suitable moisture content was 16, 15.5
and 16.5 % of corn. wheat and rice grains, respectively at about 1.5 h of
re-wetting time. Which lead to increase weight of 1000 grains was 470,
43 and 26 g . and water absorbed of grains were 0.0279, 0.0023 and
0.0017g
