Abstract
The objective of this study was to ascertain the optimal conditions for the secure storage of corn grain and assess the alterations in quality that occur throughout the process of infra-red heating and storage of grain in various types of hermetic bags. The experimental procedures for the infra-red heating process encompassed various durations of exposure time (3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 minutes) as well as four different levels of irradiation intensity, of (0.861, 0.973, 1.093, and 1.161 kW/m2). A comparative analysis was conducted between several multi-layer hermetic bags, 3 layers, 7 layers, and conventional burlap storage bags. The experimental work utilized freshly harvested yellow corn grain variety Pioneer (3084). The corn samples were acquired from a privately-owned farm located in El-Dakahlia governorate. The results indicated that the application of infra-red pre-heat treatment, specifically at a radiation intensity of 1.161 kW/m2 and an exposure time of 12 minutes, resulted in a significant decrease in grain moisture content and total microbial count without negative effects on germination percentage. Meanwhile, storing corn grain in hermetic bags 7 layers is recommended for safe storage of corn grain with high quality.
