Corn grain quality during drying and storage

Alisson Henrique Spricigo de Souza

Storing corn grains under favorable conditions preserves both their quantitative and qualitative characteristics and regulates the supply of raw materials for food production. The aim of this study was to evaluate storage alternatives (aerated silo, non-aerated silo, sack and airtight) for batches of corn grains with different physical quality characteristics (mass of normal grains, whole grains and broken grains) at zero, three and six months. And the physical quality of conventional and transgenic maize grains undergoing drying and wetting processes, with initial water contents of 13.5% (b.u.), drying air temperatures of 80, 100 and 120 0C, wetting conditions of 10 0C and RH of 90%.
