The kinetics of wheat flour water uptake at 15, 25, 35 and 45 degrees C and different relative humidities from 43.2 to 85.9 was investigated. The water uptake curves obtained were well described by the first-order kinetics equation. A suitable general empirical model was found that includes the effect of temperature and relative humidity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
