ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a composition for use in the drying of corn. The composition permits the drying of corn at a significantly increased rate, as compared with prior art methods, or at the same rate but at lower drying temperatures. The composition includes a drying agent selected from the alkyl esters of mixed fatty acids, an emulsifier selected from the group of surface active agents which provide an oil in water emulsion of fatty esters in neutral and alkaline solutions, and a coupling agent to facilitate the homogenization of the alkyl ester and the emulsifier. A solution of the composition of the invention may be sprayed onto the corn, or the corn may be dipped into the solution.
