| dc.description.abstract | Investigations were conducted to determine the tensile strength of individual rice grains at moisture equilibrated conditions and immediately after being removed form a moisture adsorbing environment. Researchers have postulated that fissuring (breaking or cracking) of rice kernels during moisture adsorption may be due to tensile stresses in inner portions of the grain developed form expanding cells in the outer layers. However, they have not studied the change in tensile strength of individual rice kernels at different levels of adsorption. ... | en |
