In this work we have tried to verify the effect of the initial humidity level (25, 35 and 45% dry base), temperature (30, 40 and 50 C) and relative air humidity (20, 30, 40 and 50%), on the drying rate. For this we used ...

It was quantified the damages and it was identified the insects that caused damage to the peanut seeds stored in and out of fruit kept in three types of containers under ambient conditions, in two microregions of Paraíba ...

The response of agricultural products to applied forces is time dependent and must be considered under a viscoelasticity point of view. There is only a few data related to rheological properties of brasilian agricultural ...

The objective of this was to analyze the influence of different levels (0.50, 0.75, 1.00, and 1.25 g/2kg of rice) Deltametrin (ISO)- K-Obiol 2P insecticide on germination of two varieties of rice (Caiapó and IAC-435) ...

Air pressure gradients for various fluxes were obtained, experimentally, through a vertical layer of canola, variety Iciola-41. The experimental results were then compared to data for other varieties, found in the ...

This work presents corn components hidration (germ, endosperm, and whole kernel) at three temperatures: 52, 60, and 68°C for two levels of lactic acid (0,0 and 0,55%) and two levels of SO2 (0,1 and 0,2%) during steeping, ...
