Abstract:We investigated the dielectric heating effect on moisture distribution and the moisture penetration rate during conditioning of some Bulgarian corn hybrids. The results showed that the moisture content of germ increased significantly in the first one hour and the germ soaked the highest amount of water. Three phases of different moisture penetration rates were separated, with the first phase having the highest rate. The dielectric heating effect resulted in a shorter tempering time.
