Development of Drying Temperature and Time
Relationship
Figs. 1 to 4 show the relationship between the standard
(AOAC method; air oven, 130°C, 1 h, ground sample)
and apparent moisture contents based on the drying of
whole rough rice samples for selected times at 110, 130,
150 and 170°C, over a moisture content range of about 9
to 22% w.b. These relationships were represented by the
following equation:
