Abstract
ABSTRACT The effects of artificial drying on Laird lentil qualities such as breakage susceptibility, cooking quality, and seed germination were determined at three initial moisture levels, 16%, 18%, 20% wet basis and seven levels of drying temperature varying from 40°C to 80°C. Cooking quality was not affected by drying in the range of treatments used in this study. High initial Omoisture content and lengthy drying periods at temperatures above 40°C were associated with increased seed breakage. Seed germination was particularly sensitive to heat treatment at 80°C and extended drying time for high moisture samples.
