THE INFLUENCE OF DRYING RATE ON THE LOAD-DEFORMATION PROPERTIES OF WHEAT GRAINS

摘要

This paper presents results to show the effect of arti¬ficial drying on the load-deformation properties of two Australian wheat varieties;Falcon, a hard wheat and Heron, a soft wheat. The moisture content was reduced from between 19％ and 20％ down to between 11％ and 12％ wet basis using drying temperatures from 90°F to 150°F.
