Abstract

Water absorption of the major kernels(7 and 10mesh sizes) of naked barley differing in pearling degrees at $25-50^{\circ}C$ 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 $40^{\circ}C$ were faster about 1.5 and 2.8 times than those of unpearled one. The activation energy of hydration for unpearled naked barley was 11.5kcal/mole, which was decreased by approximately 0.4kcal/mole upon increasing the pearling degree by 5%.

쌀보리(새쌀보리)의 주된 입자(7과 10mesh 크기)를 무게비로 5%씩 30%까지 정맥하고 $20-50^{\circ}C$에 침지시키면서 수분흡수속도를 분석하였다. 침지온도 $40^{\circ}C$에서 평형수분함량에 도달하는 시간은 정맥율이 5-15%인 쌀보리의 경우에는 37% 정도 감소하였으며 정맥율이 20-30%인 경우에는 50%가 감소되었다. 정맥수율 95%인 쌀보리의 $40^{\circ}C$에서의 수분흡수속도와 확산계수는 정맥하지 않은 시료보다 각각 1.5배와 2.8배 정도 빨랐다. 수분흡수의 활성화 에너지 값은 정맥수율이 5%씩 감소됨에 따라 약 0.4kcal/mole 정도씩 감소되었다.
