Diffusion of bound water in starchy materials: Application to drying

A model for isothermal bound water diffusion in grains and other starchy materials was derived. Assuming that spreading pressure gradient is the driving force for diffusion, an analytical expression for the variation of diffusion coefficient with moisture content was derived. When applied to predict...
