Effect of Storage Conditions on wheat Quality

Abstract

Wheat use as common staple food in South Asian country. Every year large amount of wheat loses occur due to improper handling after harvesting and inappropriate storage condition. By increasing population we have to store wheat by maintaining the temperature, moisture, relative humidity of storage house. Wheat is Store to improve the quality and can be used for longer time whenever we require. Wheat is non-perishable cereal crop very little requirement are need to store wheat. Method of wheat storage differ in temperature and moisture variation. In this review, we have study effect of storage on quality, moisture percentage, colour, protein, lipids and lipoprotein content, free lipids, biochemical and metabolic changes, germination rate at end of the storage. During storage the moisture of wheat should be maintained be low to prevent germination and insect infestation. Traditionally the wheat storage depend on environmental factor but new improved method does not depend on environmental condition that’s why they are largely implemented
