Decontamination of grain by ultrasound

Abstract

The article considers the method of grain processing in the medium of an anolyte, produced at the STEL type plant, with subsequent washing and drying to a humidity of not more than 14%. Decontamination of grain was carried out by ultrasound of low frequencies 24-26 kHz with ultrasound intensity no more than 1 W/cm2. The method provides a reduction in the content of mold fungi in the grain, prevents the development of mycotoxins in it, reduces contamination with mineral impurities and insect pest.
