Description: Heat production in wheat rewetted to moisture contents of 27.2% w.b. (wet basis) and 23.0% w.b. was measured using a computer controlled calorimeter. The heat production rate increased with time during the initial stage of heating, reached its peak (150 mW/kg for 27.2% moisture content) at about 45?C, then approached a lower constant rate (70 mW/kg). Directly measured heat production was higher than that calculated from CO2 production using therespiration equation. Therespiratory quotient increased to over 4.0 during the initial heating stage (4 to 6 days) anddecreased to about 0.8 after 14 to 20 days when the temperature rose above 52?C. An exponential model was fitted to the heat production data.
