ABSTRACT:
Novel methods for treating grain, particularly wheat, to prevent sprouting are disclosed. These methods include applications of sulfur dioxide gas to grain in amounts which are effective to prevent sprouting. In an alternate method, nitrogen gas is applied to grain to enhance the anti-sprouting activity of sulfur dioxide. Ammonia gas may also be subseqently perfused into the treated grain mass in amounts which are effective to preserve the color, odor and flavor of the grain, and to minimize the corrosiveness of the aforementioned sulfur dioxide treatment. Concurrent application of carbon dioxide gas and ammonia gas is also disclosed as reducing sprouting.
