Hydration is a crucial step during grain processing. It is performed prior to many other
processes, such as germination, cooking, extraction, malting and fermentation. The number …

The ultrasound technology was successfully used to improve the mass transfer processes
on food. However, the study of this technology on the grain hydration and on its main …

This work studied the effects of ultrasound treatment on the process of hydration of corn
kernels, evaluating both the water uptake and its starch properties. For that, an ultrasound …

Although many technologies have been applied to enhance the hydration process of grains,
some combinations and mechanisms still need better description. Consequently, this work …

Hydration is an important but long step in processing beans. Consequently, any ways of
taking advantage of this processing time are desirable. One possibility is to fortify the beans …

This work presents the study of the structural changes of the endosperm of Quality Protein
Maize (QPM H‐368C), modified by alkaline cooking at two different temperatures (72 and …

Maize is one of the three worldwide cereal crops with the most outstanding production;
however, its postharvest losses range from 2 to 40% due to inadequate harvesting, drying …

The kinetics of corn grains hydration during the nixtamalization process is described for
different temperatures, cooking times and Ca (OH) 2 concentrations. Samples were …
