Abstract

The problem of grain preservation is extremely relevant today. Due to the increase in the population, the task of ensuring food security arises, based on the production and rational storage of grain, since a large number of agricultural products are stored without provision of the necessary storage conditions. The grain quality is maintained in compliance with the storage rules, and it becomes available throughout the year. The method of grain storage varies in temperature and humidity. Storage affects grain quality, percentage of moisture, protein and fat, color, lipoprotein content, biochemical and metabolic changes, germination rate at the end of storage. During storage, the moisture content of the grain should be minimal to prevent its germination and insect infestation.The main purpose of grain preservation is to prevent possible quantitative and qualitative losses by preserving and/or improving certain physiological characteristics.
