Résumé

Basmati rice, brown and milled (30 and 34 tonnes each), were stored under high CO2 atmosphere for 4 months in an exporter's mill premises in Haryana, India. The treatment resulted in 100% mortality of all stages of Tribolium castaneum (the rust-red flour beetle) kept as test insect in the stacks. Storage of both brown and milled rice under CO2-rich atmosphere retained the characteristic aroma and grain elongation upon cooking. Free fatty acid development was much less than that seen in control samples. There was a reduction in moisture content and an increase in grain hardness as well as milling breakage. The results showed the potential of CO2 atmosphere for long-term storage of Basmati rice.
