DV increased significantly at drying temperatures above 50$\\sp\\circ$C for batch-dried samples. While DV correlated well with drying conditions in the batch-dried samples, there was a low correlation with commercial samples. This is attributed to the relatively limited number of hybrids used in the batch sample study, compared to the wide assortment of hybrids collected at the area elevators. DV was not indicative of starch yield or recovery. Some other set of factors, such as growing conditions or hybrid, had an effect on DV. For most of the commercial samples, no significant differences in DV were found but there were significant differences in physical properties, thus it was concluded that physical properties and DV are independent variables.","Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-17T22:51:35Z (GMT).
