Abstract:This study aimed to evaluate the influence of continuous and intermittent drying during the storage time on mechanical properties and integrity of corn. For intermittent drying, five rest times (0, 4, 8, 12, and 16 h) and four storage times (0, 90, 180, and 270 days) were used. The corn grains harvested at a moisture content of 0.34±0.001 kg kg-1 dry basis (db) were dried in a fixed-layer experimental dryer set at a temperature of 100 °C and an air flow rate of 1.5 m3 min-1 m-2 until they reached a moisture co… Show more
