Effects of Variety, Harvest Moisture and Drying Air Temperature on the Wet Milling Characteristics of Yellow Dent Corn
Abstract
dc:descriptionThree areas of wet milling characteristics of yellow dent corn were investigated in this study. The first one determined the effects of variety, harvest moisture and drying air temperature on twelve quality factors related to the millability of corn. A split-split plot experimental design was used to evaluate the effects. Variety was found to significantly influence the measurement of each individual quality factors among the varieties. Increased maturity of the corn, estimated by decreasing harvest moisture, resulted in increased test weight, increased germination and decreased equilibrium moisture contents.
