Development Relationship of Drying Temperature and Time
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:
