Effectiveness of ethyl oleate dipping, steam blanching and other pretreatments on drying of corn kernels
The relative effectiveness of ethyl oleate dipping for increasing the drying rate of sweet corn kernels was compared to dipping in petroleum ether, ethyl ether and steam blanching. All pretreatments greatly increased the drying rate of kernels as compared to untreated control samples. It is suggeste...
