Modified atmosphere storage to prevent mould-induced nutritional loss in maize
Effect of modified atmosphere storage systems having 60% CO 2 , 40% CO 2 and 20% CO 2 in combination with N 2 and O 2 were studied on freshly harvested maize grain (var Deccan-103) to prevent moulding and loss of food reserves. Under favourable conditions of 90% relative humidity and at 25±2°C, maiz...
