Grain storage technologies

Heat treatment and irradiation are the two advanced and innovative processing technologies for the inactivation of microorganisms to ensure the safety by extending the shelf life of foods. Irradiation along with the heat treatment proved that synergistic effect in the reduction of bacterial spores.Fungal count during storage gradually decreased up to 60 days and increased again almost to a level of 0th day to 90th day. Irrespective of treatments and storage the least fungal count was observed in pearl millet followed by sorghum and foxtail millet.

Post-harvest grain storage operation is a concluding activity in agriculture and mostly performed by rural women to secure the food grains and reduce the post-harvest losses. Post-harvest losses occur from farm to ultimate consumption. These losses might be either due to lack of awareness on the part of rural women about the scientific grain storage methods, improved storage practices and improved storage structures.

Eastern Europe and Central Asia represents a unique situation, where invest- ments in very large farms contrast with an overall contraction of agricultural land use. In the Russian Federation, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan, the area sown to grains has declined by 30 million ha since the end of the Soviet era. These croplands were mostly returned to pastures or fallow, due to lack of suitable technology and market access. Large farms were better able to deal with financing, infrastructure, and technology constraints of the transition, lead- ing to considerable concentration.

There are many factors accounting for losses after rice harvest and occurs as as early as pre-harvest period and the next stage from harvesting to storage. the the appearance of cracks in the rice-harvest period reduces the yield. Grain can be damaged or lost quantity and quality due to inappropriate practice in the sun time, harvest, harvest, dam / mechanical drying, loading / unloading, transport, milling and processing storage conditions. Milling process is an important stage because it produces the final product (white rice). Post production lines of rice.
