Compression‐Induced Fracture of Maize Kernels: Effects of Moisture Content and Strain Rate on Mechanical Behavior
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Journal of Food Process Engineering"
DOI: 10.1111/jfpe.70218
Abstract: During production processes, maize kernels are prone to mechanical damage from stresses such as collision and compression, leading to reduced storage stability, increased mold contamination risks, diminished processing performance, and consequent economic losses. Investigating the… read more here.
