Determination Of Functional And Aerodynamic Properties Of Maize Flour
ABSTRACT
The study determined the functional and aerodynamic
properties of maize flour. Specific objectives of the sought to: investigate
the oil absorption, gelation, foaming and emulsz)5'ing capacities of maize
flour, investigate the terminal velocity, drag force and drag coefficient of
maize flour for its conveyance during processing and packaging, investigate the
water absorption capacity and water binding capacity ofmaize flour and
determine the pasting characteristics of maize flour. The result obtained from
the analysis indicated that terminal velocity and drag force increased with
increase in moisture content. It was also observed that drag coefficient
decreased to some point and increased thereafter as the seeds moisture content
increased The terminal velocity, drag force and drag coefficient all gave
linear curve with moisture content. Thus, it was recommended that knowledge
acquired in the course of the study should be used by local maize farmers in
cleaning, winnowing, separating operations in our local agro-base industries.
