"Quality Maintenance in Stored Grains and Seeds " was first
published in 1986. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital
technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible,
and are published unaltered from the original University of
Minnesota Press editions.
Storage molds are a major cause of quality loss in grains and
seeds held in farm bins and tanks, in commercial elevators and
warehouses, and in barge and ship transport. The damage done by
these storage molds is at first invisible, but later shows up as
caking, mustiness, total spoilage of part or all of the grain, and
heating - sometimes to the temperature of ignition. The authors,
both of whom have had extensive first-hand field and laboratory
experience with these grain storage fungi and the problems they
cause, summarize in readable and readily understandable form the
basic principles and specific practices to be followed in order to
minimize such losses.
Chapters are devoted to grain grades and quality; storage fungi;
conditions that promote or prevent loss in quality; spoilage in
barge and ship transport; mycotoxins (toxic compounds produced by
fungi growing in grains and feeds) and mycotoxicoses (the diseases
caused in animals that consume such toxic products); insects,
mites, and storage fungi, quality control; and identification of
storage fungi as an aid in evaluation of grain condition and
storability.
