Mechanical and Thermal Properties and Moisture Sorption of Puffed Cereals Made from Brown Rice, Barley, Adlay, and Amaranth
The moisture sorption, rheological, and glass transition properties of puffed cereals, such as brown rice, barley, adlay, and amaranth, were assessed. The puffed cereals were stored in desiccators until their moisture content reached equilibrium. Moisture sorption isotherms were measured, and monomo...

| description | The moisture sorption, rheological, and glass transition properties of puffed cereals, such as brown rice, barley, adlay, and amaranth, were assessed. The puffed cereals were stored in desiccators until their moisture content reached equilibrium. Moisture sorption isotherms were measured, and monomolecular adsorption moisture content was calculated through Brunauer−Emmett−Teller (BET) analysis. The glass transition temperature (Tg) was determined, and the internal structure was observed using a scanning electron microscope. The rupture force and apparent elastic modulus of puffed cereals decreased with increasing relative humidity (RH). The puffed cereals exhibited ductile fracture ,when the moisture content was >8%. The Tg of puffed cereals with 8% moisture content was approximately 40 °C. It was inferred that puffed cereals demonstrated a crispy texture in the glassy state when stored at <40 °C, but transitioned to a rubbery state at >40 °C, resulting in the loss of crispy texture. |
