Table 8 shows the oven drying times predicted by equation [7] assuming apparent and standard moisture contents to be the same for sample moisture levels ranging from 9 to 23% w.b. It is obvious that low moisture rough rice samples would
requi:e shorter drying times at any set oven temperature and vice versa. These findings indicated that, in order to attain the most accurate possible results, a common drying time cannot be specified over a wide range of moisture levels.
