The viscoelastic properties of cereal kernels are strongly related to their quality, which can be applied to the development of a more selective and objective classification process. In this study, the association between the biophysical and viscoelastic properties of wheat, rye, and triticale kernels was investigated at different moisture contents (12% and 16%). A uniaxial compression test was performed under a small strain (5%), and the increase in viscoelasticity at 16% moisture content corresponded to proportional increases in biophysical properties such as the appearance and geometry. The biophysical and viscoelastic behaviors of triticale were between those of wheat and rye. A multivariate analysis showed that the appearance and geometric properties significantly influenced kernel features. The maximum force showed strong correlations with all viscoelastic properties, and it can be used to distinguish between cereal types and moisture contents. A principal component analysis was performed to discriminate the effect of the moisture content on different types of cereals and to evaluate the biophysical and viscoelastic properties. The uniaxial compression test under a small strain and the multivariate analysis can be considered a simple and non-destructive tool for assessing the quality of intact cereal kernels. |
