Design and evaluation of a grain respiration measurement system for dry matter loss of soybeans
A respiration measurement system was designed, fabricated and tested to estimate dry matter loss (DML) of soybeans through monitoring carbon dioxide (CO2) from grain respiration by gravimetric analysis. The system consisted of three parts: conditioned air input, grain respiration column, and …

Evaluating dry matter loss rates of 14 to 22% moisture content soybeans at 35°C using a dynamic grain respiration measurement system
… respire during storage and processing. Soybean respiration rate (v_(〖CO〗_2 )) and, thus, dry matter loss rate (v_DML) are affected by moisture content (w) and temperature (T). Knowledge of v_(〖CO〗_2 ) or v_DML is useful in developing maximum allowable storage time (MAST) guidelines for soybeans, …

Dry matter loss rates of soybeans: Effects of respiration measurement system, damage by splits, and moisture content at elevated temperatures
… safe storage time (t_s) because of accelerated grain deterioration. Depending on the final use of soybean, t_s can be based on dry matter loss (DML), germination, or mold growth. DML can be estimated by measuring the amount of respired carbon dioxide (CO2) during grain storage, and so has become …
