Influence of seed composition and size on the hydrothermal behavior of chickpeas and lentils

Key Points

• The aim is to investigate how variations in seed composition and size affect the hydrothermal behavior of chickpeas and lentils.
• Conducted experiments comparing different sizes of chickpea and lentil seeds.
• Analyzed moisture content and thermal properties based on seed characteristics.
• Found that both seed composition and size significantly influence moisture absorption rates.
• Larger seeds showed different hydrothermal behaviors compared to smaller seeds, impacting cooking quality.
