Abstract

ABSTRACTHigh temperature conduction heating reduced the fungal growth and prevented the spoilage of freshly harvested high moisture rough rice leading to its safe temporary storage. Heat treatments resulting in fungal mortality levels equal to 90% and higher were found to be satisfactory for general use. Finally, a relationship was developed for estimating the safe storage periods of heattreated high moisture rough rice based on its moisture content and fungal mortality level achieved with various heat treatments.
