Determination of moisture content of whole kernel lentil by oven method
1991
Tang, J. | Sokhansanj, S.
ASAE Standard S352.2 does not include information on measuring the moisture content of whole kernel lentil (Lens culinaris Medik). Samples of lentil seeds, at six moisture levels from 8.2% to 18.6%, were dried in a convection oven set at temperatures of 103 degrees C or 130 degrees C. The calculated moisture contents (w.b.) were compared to the official AACC Standard 44-15A. It was found that drying a 16 g sample of whole kernel lentil for a period of 20 h in the oven set at 130 degrees C yields a moisture content value closest to that of the AACC method.
