Perda de matéria seca em grãos de milho armazenados em bolsas herméticas

Abstract: RESUMO -O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a qualidade e a perda de matéria seca em grãos de milho armazenados em bolsas herméticas sob diferentes temperaturas. Para isso, grãos de milho com teor de água inicial de 14,8 e 17,9% foram acondicionados em bolsas de polietileno lacradas e armazenados em temperaturas de 15; 25 e 35 °C. Ao longo de 150 dias, em intervalos de 30 dias, as concentrações de oxigênio (O 2 ) e dióxido de carbono (CO 2 ) nas bolsas foram medidas e amostras dos grãos foram retiradas para a … Show more

“…In the kernels stored in hermetically sealed bags, the moisture content decreased beginning at 6 months and had the lowest content among all types of storage after 9 months. Because in that type of storage no gas and/or water steam exchange occurred between grains and the environment, the variability in moisture content was most likely explained by the biological activities of the grain mass (Santos et al, 2012). Although corncobs were stored with higher moisture content because of the difficulty of standardization during drying, at three months, the kernels had the lowest moisture content among all types of storage, but from then on, the moisture content increased.…”

“…To meet demands in the dry season, much of the corn produced is stored and thus is susceptible to deterioration, which is primarily influenced by factors such as kernel moisture content, air temperature, relative humidity, storage atmosphere, percentage of damaged kernels, foreign matter and impurities, presence of microorganisms, insects and mites, and length of storage (Santos, Martins, Faroni, & Brito Junior, 2012;Silva, 2008). Therefore, depending on storage conditions, the corn kernels lose mass, volume and strength and also experience nutritional degradation, discoloration, development of unpleasant odors, heat and chemical changes, and growth of fungi with toxigenic potential for mycotoxin contamination (Bento et al, 2012 Because of the economic and dietary importance of corn, fungal contamination is currently one of the primary problems in the storage of kernel corn (Moreno et al, 2009).…”

“…Os resultados de redução da massa específica e do peso de 1.000 grãos estão de acordo com os obtidos por Antunes et al (2011), Paraginski et al (2015, Santos et al (2012) armazenando grãos de milho.…”

“…Essas reduções, segundo Antunes et al (2011), podem ser atribuídas ao ataque de insetos, mas também, conforme Paraginski et al (2015), ao aumento do processo respiratório dos grãos, bem como, segundo Santos et al (2012), associadas ao aumento de volume devido ao ganho de água ou à perda de matéria seca. Como o teor de água dos grãos foi constante, supõem-se que as reduções verificadas estão relacionadas ao incremento do processo respiratório e ao consumo de parte dos grãos pelos insetos.…”

“…Já no tratamento de secagem ao sol, a perda foi acima de 2,5%. Por outro lado, as demais verificadas no estudo foram maiores que às encontradas por Santos et al, (2012) que encontrou no seu estudo no armazenamento de grãos de milho durante 150 dias, com teor de água de 17,9% em temperatura de 35 °C apresentaram uma perda de matéria seca de 0,037%.…”
