Effect of Ethyl Oleate on Moisture Content of Field Corn During Bin Batch DryingPublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: Applied Engineering in Agriculture. 5(4): 573-576. (doi: 10.13031/2013.26563) @1989Authors: D. L. Williams Keywords: Drying rate, Fatty acid esters, Grain drying Shelled corn was dried using bin batch drying without treatment and after treating with water, 2.7, 10.8 and 43.2% aqueous solutions of ethyl oleate. The application of the highest two rates of ethyl oleate resulted in increases in drying rates of 15 and 28%, respectively, during the first 120 min of drying. Kernel breakage susceptibility for treated kernels was slightly higher than untreated kernels after drying. (Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)
