A study on hermetic storage of grain using indigenous container [Philippines]
1984
Del Prado, P.L.
This study was conducted to determine the effect of various containers in insect control and mold growth inhibition, grain moisture change, temperature change in the grain, and the grain quality in terms of its palatability when cooked. Milled rice at 12 to 13% moisture content was stored in cement jars, plastic containers, earthen jars, and galvanized drums for four months. The plastic and steel drum containers were effective in inhibiting insect growth as they were tightly covered during the study. Grain moisture changed before and after storage period but was not significantly different among storage containers. A significant difference was observed in the odor of cooked rice stored in sacks and cement containers as compared to plastic earthen and galvanized containers. Randomized complete block design was used in analyzing data
