Water absorption of the major kernels (7 and 10 mesh sizes) of naked barley differing in pearling degrees at 20-50deg C was investigated. The time to reach equilibrium moisture content was reduced by half upon removal of over 20 % of the outer layer of the kernel. Water absorption rate and diffusion coefficient of naked barley of 5 % pearling degree at 40deg C were faster about 1.5 and 2.8 times than those of unpearled one. The activation energy of hydration for unpearled naked barley was 11.5 kcal/mole, which was decreased by approximately 0.4 kcal/mole upon increasing the pearling degree by 5 %
