CONT

Puisque le degré d'humidité d'équilibre des semences est fonction de leur teneur en huile, la meilleure mesure correspondant à la norme relative au séchage est l'humidité relative à l'équilibre (HRE). Cette constante est déterminée par l'humidité relative et la température de l'environnement de séchage.
