Relation of endosperm character in corn to absorption of hygroscopic moisture
1927
Alberts, H.W.
1. Using the weight of corn at the beginning of the test as a basis, floury corn absorbed more water in humid air and lost more water in dry air than horny corn during each 3-day period for the first 12 days. 2. After the first 12 days, floury corn weighed approximately the same as horny corn at the end of 3-day periods in humid air, but floury corn weighed less than horny corn at the end of 3-day periods in dry air. 3. Using the average 3-day change in weight of horny corn as a basis, the change in weight of floury corn for a 3-day period was approximately 10% greater than that of horny corn.
