Abstract
ABSTRACT THE measurement and prediction of breakage susceptibility of rewetted and blended corn in the market channel were studied. The interaction of drying method (high-temperature dried, high-ambient air dried, or ambient-air dried) with rewetting was not statistically significant. The differences between the measured breakage percentages on rewetted samples and the breakage values for samples initially dried to the rewetted moisture level were random, varying from — 1.10 to + 4.05. The blending of corn samples at the same moisture but different breakage susceptibility levels was found to cause an increase in breakage susceptibility as compared to a mass weighted average of the individual sample breakage values. This was apparently due to a transfer of moisture from the high temperature dried portion of the sample, which had a lower equilibrium moisture isotherm, to the ambient-air dried portion of the sample.
