“…During soaking, grains swell and increase in size as their components bind water, grain components leach into the soak water, availability of certain components is enhanced, and starch crystallinity reduces, amongst others (Sopade et al, 1992;Kale et al, 2015;Hassani et al, 2016). Apart from grain types, varieties and components, these changes depend on soaking time and temperature, and additives in the soak water (Sopade et al, 1992;Carmona- (2008) Garc ıa et al, 2007; Kale et al, 2015;Hassani et al, 2016). An increase in soaking time or temperature increases grain moisture (Sopade et al, 1992), and during hot soaking, starch is gelatinised in addition (Miah et al, 2002;Kale et al, 2015).…”
