Grain storage at farm and warehouses level

Abstract

Grain storage is very important because the quality of flour obtained from grain will be found in the finished products’ quality. Grains must be stored in well-established conditions regarding temperature, humidity, and airflow, trying to avoid the risk of being attacked by rodents and insects. If these conditions are not complied with, some qualitative deficits of the grains - such as mold at pH, infestation, fermentation, etc. - may appear. The storage methods are those responsible for maintaining a good quality of the grains.
