摘要:In this study, wet-harvested wheat (Cv. Gerek-79) has been dried at various air temperatures (40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 oC) using semi-batch tunnel dryer. The sedimentation value has been found to increase significantly with increasing drying temperatures. Since the gluten proteins would star to denature with increase in temperature, the increase observed in sedimentation values should not be taken as an improvement in quality. The falling number values have also increased due to the thermal denaturation of the amylase enzymes. No statistical difference was detected between the ash contents of flours obtained from wheat samples dried at various temperatures. Furthermore, it was observed that stress-cracks were increased depending on the temperature used during drying.
