Summary

The quality characteristics of rough rice stored in an elevator in Hokkaido (Japan) and under controlled storage conditions (room-temperature storage, low-temperature storage at -5 °C storage) were examined. The quality of rough rice stored in an elevator by aeration with fresh chilly air in winter was better than that of the rough rice stored under low-temperature storage and that of the rough rice stored in the elevator with natural heat radiation in winter. The combination of storage of the rough rice at temperature below ice point and utilization of fresh chilly air in winter enables the quality of rice to be kept at a high level, similar to that of freshly harvested rice, without the requirement of a cooling unit or electricity.
