Which of the following is used to pressure food grain as a food grain at home at home
Answers
Answer:
Curry leaves are used to store and protect the food grains in the kitchen.
Explanation:
They keep the food protected from insects and bugs. It is necessary to put curry leaves properly in the food grains to save them from all types of micro-oganisms.
Answer:
First of all Crops left standing un-harvested start to show diminishing quantitative and qualitative returns through shatter losses and attacks by insects, mould, birds and rodents. It is therefore important to complete harvesting as soon as possible. In addition, it is necessary to remove dust and contaminants, which can include insects, and vegetable material, such as bits of straw and chaff and weed seeds. These will fill up pore spaceswithin the crop, inhibiting air movement and adding to any possible spoilage problems.The crop must therefore be clean.
Explanation:
One of the most critical physiological factors in successful grain storage is the moisture content of the crop. High moisture content leads to storage problems because it encourages fungal and insect problems, respiration and germination. However, moisture content in the growing crop is naturally high and only starts to decrease as the crop reaches maturity and the grains are drying. In their natural state, the seeds would have a period of dormancy and then germinate either when re-wetted by rain or as a result of a naturally adequate moisture content.Another major factor influencing spoilage is temperature. Grains are biologically active and respire during storage. One of the products of respiration is heat, and reducing the temperature of the crop can help to diminish the rate of respiration, thereby lengthening the storage life by lessening the possibility of germination. Another major temperature effect is on the activity of insect and fungal problems. With lower temperatures, the metabolic rate of insects and fungi decreases and consequently so does the activity causing spoilage.A damp or warm spot in grain will increase the rate of respiration. In addition to heat, another product of respiration is moisture. The heat and moisture from such a hot spot can spread by convection, encouraging moulds and bacteria, which in turn respire and give off more heat and moisture. It therefore becomes a self-generating process. Insect activity also increases with a rise in temperature.These spoilage mechanisms can also affect the viability of grain required for seed or malting, where the inability to germinate would render it unmarketable.
