Storage environment
Detecting the sudden beginning of the deterioration of rice in storage as soon as possible is quite important to minimize the damage.
Rice in storage breathes, consuming oxygen and generating carbon dioxide, water vapor, and heat.
At the same time, molds and insects that grow during storage also breathe as cereal grains do and generate carbon dioxide, water vapor and heat, increasing grain damage due to heat generated and moisture condensation
