Abstract
An apparatus assembly for monitoring the rehydration kinetics of dehydrated products has an enclosure formed by a cage for holding the products and by a cover for the cage surmounted by a hollowed rod. In use, the enclosure is connected via the rod with the pan of a balance so that it is suspended over the balance pan. The lattice-work of the side portion of the cage is configured so that when the cage is immersed in water, the lattice-work allows water to pass therethrough but prevents air from escaping from the cage through the lattice-work.
