Correlation Between Storage Moisture of Corn Ear and Quality Change
Ear storage is widely used for corn in rural areas of Northeast China,with a storage period of mostly three to six months.Due to the large planting area and large harvest quantity,corns are stored in scattered piles or simple stacks on the ground,posing a common problem of severe damage caused by mold and rodents,with a loss of about 8%.Therefore,the development of large storage agricultural grain storage equipment with large capacity,con-venient use,and ability to prevent mold and rodent damage is a necessary means to reduce rural grain storage losses and maintain grain quality.In this research,correlation analysis on the quality index detection data of corn ears stored in JSWZ series large steel mesh grain storage warehouses was conducted,a prediction model for changes in corn ear moisture,bulk density,and fatty acid value was established,and the use of conventional moisture detection results was explored to predict the trend of changes in corn ear quality during storage.The linear simulation of corn moisture and fatty acid value was closer to the measured value,while the bulk density of corn did not change with changes in moisture.
