Effect of moisture on Wheat storage

图片
1. moisture content of Wheat The moisture content of newly harvested wheat can reach more than 18%, and the moisture content of wheat after drying treatment. As low as 10%. The moisture content of wheat under normal storage conditions is generally 10%~13%.     2. Effect of moisture on wheat storage There are two states of water in wheat, one is free water, the other is bound water. Free water exists in the intercellular spaces and capillaries of wheat. It has the general properties of ordinary water, can be used as a solvent, and can freeze at 0 ℃ . It is the medium for biochemical reaction of wheat. Free water in wheat grains can freely enter and leave under the influence of ambient temperature and humidity. The increase or decrease of grain moisture is mainly the change of free water. Bound water, also known as East bound water, exists in the cells of grain, and combines with hydrophilic macromolecules such as starch and protein through hydrogen bonding. Therefore, it has a ...
