Maize is a major crop grown in many regions of the world for human consumption, starch production, and animal feed. After harvest, maize dried to avoid spoilage caused by fungal growth. However, humid tropics, drying harvested during rainy season poses challenges. In such instances, temporary storing under hermetic conditions may preserve grain quality while waiting suitable drying. Wet at moisture contents (m.c.) 18, 21, 24% was stored up 21 days both non-hermetic jars. The assessed, every...
Maintaining maize quality while drying during a rainy season is major challenge for smallholder farmers in developing countries. We conducted study to evaluate the impact of temporarily storing wet 18, 21, and 24% moisture content (m.c.) hermetic Purdue Improved Crop Storage (PICS) polypropylene (PP) woven (control) bags 21 days. Oxygen carbon dioxide concentrations were monitored, m.c., germination, visual mold assessed. In PICS bags, oxygen dropped below 1% within 7, 11.5, days at 24, 18%...
Mung bean is highly susceptible to insect attack during storage. Hermetic storage an effective technique control damage. This study investigated the potential of hermetic SuperGrain bag (SGB) for controlling bruchids The dry samples were packed in SGB infested with adult (SGB-I), natural field (SGB-N), woven polypropylene bags (WPP-I and WPP-N) kept at room temperature 180 days. Oxygen (O2) carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations measured 15 days intervals. Moisture content, infestation level,...
Green gram (Vigna radiata) is an important income generation crop for millions of farmers and processing units in India. In most developing countries, the post-harvest losses associated with this remain a major concern. This case investigates impact hermetic non-hermetic packaging material on green tropical ambient storage. The was held 180 days bags, plastic containers, jute bags. Calculated parameters were amount moisture, infestation insects, weight 1,000 seeds, microbial load. moisture...
In the world of industrial drying processes, foam mat microwave is a significant and valuable approach. Its advantages include increased effectiveness, preservation product quality, energy cost savings, flexibility in application, improved safety. Development Nagpur mandarin juice powder tedious time-consuming due to its bitter test less total soluble solid, therefore present research carried out with process parameters for power levels (180, 360, 540, 720, 900 W) bed thicknesses (2, 4, 6...
Effect of polishing on chemical and engineering properties yellow black turmeric rhizomes was studied reported.The percentage moisture content, protein, fat, carbohydrate, pH curcumin fresh a nd polished were found to be 60.23, 1.30, 0.78, 34.04, 6.47 2.19; 12.3, 1.20, 1.28%, 76.3, 6.28 4.26; respectively.Similarly, for turmeric, Curcumin per cent 13.47, 0.69, 0.67, 80.8, 5.52 0.31; 8.11, 0.93, 0.56, 83.38, 5.96 0.45, respectively.Physical like arithmetic mean diameter, geometric sphericity,...
<b><sc>Abstract </sc></b>Turmeric (Curcuma longa), one of the medicinal essentials spices quality preservations has been a major concern during storage. Numerous health benefits turmeric have demonstrated, including its ability to prevent and treat wide range illnesses cancer, aging, metabolic, neurological, cardiovascular, inflammatory diseases. The present study investigated effects storage methods duration on moisture content, curcumin, fiber, oleoresin, morphological structures, color...
