Abstract
The equilibrium moisture contents as a fundamental property during desorption and absorption of moisture in rough rice, hulled rice and hulls were measured to explicate the drying and storage processes of rough rice in a low-temperature and high-humidity condition. On the basis of the measured results, normalization of the equilibrium moisture content was attempted using the equation of Chung. In addition, the equilibrium moisture content in rice covered by the hull was estimated from the material balance.
