Hydration kinetics of amaranth grain
The kinetics of water uptake by amaranth grain soaked in plain water, SO2 aqueous solution (0.01% and 0.02%, w/v) and SO2 solution (0.02%, w/v) with variable concentrations of lactic acid (0.0025% and 0.0050%, v/v), covering a temperature range from 30 °C to 60 °C was investigated. The resulting kin...
