Summary

The temperature of the rough rice near the inner silo wall gradually increased in spring and summer, whereas that of the rough rice in the centre of the silo remained below freezing point. The effect of this difference in rough rice temperatures in the silo on rice quality was investigated. There was no deterioration in the quality of rough rice near the silo wall, and the quality of the rough rice unloaded from the silo after storage was uniform. These results indicate that there was no significant effect of the difference in grain temperatures in the silo on rice quality. The technique for storing rough rice at a temperature below freezing point, i.e. super-low-temperature storage, in elevators in cold regions using natural energy in winter was finally developed.
