Abstract

Storage of plant products is necessary to meet the long-term requirements of food and feed. Such materials harbour a variety of microorganisms, which originate from soil, air and plant sources. However, mere presence of these microorganisms in or on products of human interest is not harmful. But under certain conditions microorganisms start consuming such products for growth and reproduction, an activity likely to cause undesirable change of varied nature in the product concerned.
