The chipps of several kinds of cereals (brown rice, wheat, barley, and wheat starch) were analyzed by DTA to determine the upper limit temperature for drying. From the analysis, the denaturation temperatures were determined to be 53.3°C, 55.1°C, 54.4°C and 51.0°C, respectively, The peak temperatures at which the most vigorous reaction occurred with increasing heating rate were analyzed by Kissinger's formula of chemical kinetics.
