Decreasing post-harvest losses in cereal grains by gamma irradiation in relation to aflatoxin producing potential.

A gamma irradiation dose of 0.5 KGY reduced post-harvest losses from 32% to 2% in stored cereal grains (wheat, maize and rice). However, this treatment was found to augment significantly aflatoxin B1 production by 15-63% and 21-81% over that of controls for naturally infected-irradiated and artificially infected-irradiated stored cereal grains, respectively. A high gamma irradiation dose of 5 KGY decontaminated harmful insects and microorganisms in stored cereal grains and reduced post-harvest losses from 32% to 1%. This decontaminating gamma irradiation dose was found to be a real treatment to be exploited for decreasing post-harvest losses as it improves hygienic quality of grains due its ability to eliminate aflatoxin B1 production in irradiated-stored cereal grains.
