Influences of drying temperature and storage conditions for preserving the quality of maize postharvest on laboratory and field scales

P. C. Coradi, V. Maldaner, et al.

This study by Paulo Carteri Coradi, Vanessa Maldaner, Éverton Lutz, Paulo Vinícius da Silva Dai, and Paulo Eduardo Teodoro explores the impact of drying temperature on maize grain quality and storage conditions. Discover how higher drying temperatures can hasten moisture reduction but may compromise quality, and which storage methods proved most effective.

Abstract
This study evaluated the associations of drying temperature with storage systems and conditions for preserving maize grain quality on laboratory and field scales. Higher drying temperatures accelerated moisture reduction but increased deterioration. Wetting during storage reduced quality. Hermetic and aerated storage maintained chemical quality, with 80°C drying and silo storage with natural aeration providing satisfactory results.
