Summary

This study evaluated the effect of 7 months of storage under different conditions (ambient outdoor temperature from October to April), -20, 4, and 24 deg C with quiescent air, and 24 deg C with forced air) on the viability of Fusarium and Alternaria infesting stored grain and lowering the quality for maltsters and brewers. Results show that on-farm storage of infected barley at elevated temperatures may provide a means to reduce the level of deoxynivalenol (myotoxin) in finished malts.
