Popis: Summary A semi-empirical correlation based on the modified diffusion equation proposed by earlier workers is shown to fit the soaking data of a large number of paddy varieties. The correlation gives a unified approach to the diffusional process and can be used for prediction of moisture content as a function of time and temperature of soaking. The results confirm the authors' previous hypothesis about the mechanism of soaking paddy.
