The rate of water vapor sorption by cereal grains and oilseeds from Argentina
The rate of water vapor sorption of several commercial grains (cereals and oilseeds) harvested in Argentina was studied. A one parameter (k) simplified equation derived from Fick's second law was used to analyse the data. Statistical analysis of results showed that all cereals had similar rates...

| Sumario: | The rate of water vapor sorption of several commercial grains (cereals and oilseeds) harvested in Argentina was studied. A one parameter (k) simplified equation derived from Fick's second law was used to analyse the data. Statistical analysis of results showed that all cereals had similar rates of water vapor uptake under the condition studied; a similar behavior was observed for oilseeds. Oilseeds, however, showed higher rates of water vapor uptake than cereals. © 1992. |
