Moisture
Content
(EMC)
Definition of EMC:
The EMC of a cereal grain is defined as
the moisture content of the material after
it has been exposed to a particular
environment for an infinitely long period
of time.
Importance of EMC:
Determines the minimum moisture
content to which grain can be dried
under a given set of drying conditions
the
equilibrium
moisture
content.

EMC DETERMINATION:
Two atmospheric EMC determination techniques:

thermostatically
controlled,

Empirical Equations:
Not one of the Theoretical and semi-theoretical
EMC
equations
represents
the
moisture
equilibrium of cereal grains adequately over the
full range of humidities and temperatures
encountered in practice. Some of the assumptions
made In the development of the prescribed
equations are over-simplified, resulting inaccurate
theoretical predictions for the EMC values.
