Bothast, R.J. | Rogers, R.F. | Hesseltine, C.W.
Extract: Losses due to mold deterioration have developed in shipments of dry corn-soya-milk (CSM) made through the U.S. Food for Peace Program. USDA, the dry milling industry and a container manufacturer cooperated in a large-scale test shipment from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Cochin, India. Conventional multiwall paper bags and two types of polyethylene-coated bags of CSM were randomly stowed in different areas of the ship. During unloading, 13 percent of all bags had visible mold. Bag structure, CSM temperature and ventilation were identified as factors influencing mold losses.
