Abstract

ABSTRACT THE factors affecting breakage susceptibility on corn were determined over the temperature range 13C to 90C, and moisture contents 7.18% to 19.66% (w.b.). Breakage susceptibiUty increased exponentially with decreasing moisture content and decreasing temperature. The effect of moisture content and temperature on breakage susceptibility was strongly dependent on corn variety and drying condition. Significant interaction was also found between moisture content and temperature on breakage susceptibility. Based upon the strong moisture dependence and its interaction with drying condition and variety, the utility of the Wisconsin Breakage Tester in the market channel is questioned
