Physicochemical, microbiological, and microstructural changes in germinated wheat grain

When wheat grains are exposed to moisture and warm conditions, they begin to sprout, which damages their quality and usefulness. This research studied how different moisture, temperature, and time conditions affect sprouted wheat grain. Scientists found that sprouting significantly changes the grain’s structure, reducing its starch content and increasing microbial contamination. The findings suggest that sprouted wheat can be processed into useful products if grown under carefully controlled conditions.

The Toxin-Producing Ability of Fusarium Proliferatum Strains Isolated from Grain

Scientists studied a common fungus called Fusarium proliferatum that contaminates grain crops like wheat, oats, and maize. They identified 12 different strains of this fungus and tested how much toxic substances they could produce. All of the strains produced dangerous toxins called fumonisins and other harmful compounds that can make the grain unsafe to eat. The findings show farmers and grain producers need to monitor their crops carefully to prevent this fungal contamination.

Physicochemical, microbiological, and microstructural changes in germinated wheat grain

When wheat grains sprout due to rain during harvest, it ruins their quality and causes major economic losses. This study examined what happens inside wheat grains as they sprout under different moisture, temperature, and time conditions. The researchers found that sprouting causes significant changes in grain structure, reduces key quality indicators, and increases microbial contamination. They identified the best conditions for controlling sprouting to potentially create useful products from affected grain.

Physicochemical, microbiological, and microstructural changes in germinated wheat grain

When wheat grains sprout due to moisture and humidity during harvest, they lose quality and economic value. This study examined what happens to sprouted wheat grain under different moisture, temperature, and time conditions. The researchers found optimal conditions to maximize desirable components like starch and protein while minimizing harmful microbial contamination. The findings show that sprouted wheat can potentially be converted into useful industrial products, turning a harvest problem into an opportunity.
