Abstract
Hydration of raw and roasted corn semolina at 30, 50 and 70C was studied. Raw semolina absorbed more water, and had higher equilibrium moisture content and hydration rate constant values than roasted semolina. Rate of hydration was linearly related to average moisture content. Hydration rate index (HRI; change of hydration rate constant per unit change in hydration temp. (DELTAk/DELTAT)) was determined. HRI values for raw and roasted semolina were: 6.1 and 4.0 x 10-4 min-1 K-1, respectively, at 30-50C and 4.8 and 3.3 x 10-4 min-1 K-1, respectively, at 50-70C. Activation energies for raw and roasted semolina were 10.6 and 7.7 kJ mole-1, respectively. Hydration temp. >70C markedly increased vol. increase and leaching loss of corn semolina; both were higher in raw semolina than roasted samples. It is concluded that roasting of corn semolina may be useful as an alternative process to control hydration behaviour. [From En summ.]
