Modeling the effect of temperature on the hydration kinetic whole moong grain

摘要: Abstract Water hydration characteristics of moong at temperatures 25, 35, 45 and 55 °C were determined three major dimensions (length, width thickness) moisture content time interval varying from 0 to 500 min. Peleg’s model Fick’s second law diffusion used simulate water absorption effective diffusivity with temperature. equation was adequately capable predicting the experimental condition rate constants k 1 2 decreased increased soaking temperature 0.5132 0.1081 0.0165 0.151, respectively. Effective increases 1.12 × 10 −11 1.98 × 10  m /s over range. Reduction activation energy dependency coefficient also described by Arrhenius equation.
