PROJECT No 1.2.1.2.i.2/1/24/A/CFLA/002
Project implementation period: 06.2025 - 05.2027
Title: Development of an innovative and environmentally friendly grain processing technology using hot humid air for food, feed and seed safety
Study No EN-13
The study is implemented within the framework of the project of LATVIJAS PĀRTIKAS KOMPETENCES CENTRA SIA.
Period: 01.07.-31.08.2025
The project has fully implemented the following activities:
The efficiency and mechanism of action of hot humid air treatment of grain were investigated with the aim of determining the optimum technological parameters for the total or partial destruction of pathogenic micro-organisms (bacteria, fungi and viruses) and pests, while preserving grain quality and germination. Result achieved: Optimum parameters for hot humid air treatment have been identified which effectively kill pathogens and pests while maintaining grain quality, nutritional value and germination.
