Browning mechanism and process optimization during MaizeMaize KX7349 Drying

Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2018
Browning of KX7349 maize during drying occurred mainly in the pericarp layer. Browning was caused by oxidation of water soluble matter in the pericarp layer. Moisture content had no significant influence on browning rate.

Cross-flow thin bed drying characteristics of maize (Zea mays) using continuous sample weight measurement

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2019
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important nutritious grains which have high moisture content during harvest. Moisture content of 24-25% (db) at the harvest has to be reduced below 14% (db) to prevent its deterioration during storage.
