Abstract:The article presents data on acidity indicators and chemical composition of high humidity grain in hermetic storage conditions. It is established that by increasing humidity of barley grain fodder its acidity increases with increasing pH value from 5.25 to 4.13, which is explained by increasing content of lactic and acetic acids. During storage the grain did not deteriorate, because the pH value decreases to a certain level (from 5.25 to 4.13). No butyric acid was found in the examined samples and its appearan… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
