Disinfestation of Wheat Using Liquid Nitrogen Aeration
A study was undertaken to investigate the effect of liquid nitrogen aeration on mortalities of adult Cryptolestes furrugineus, rusty grain beetles, in a prototype cardboard grain bin equipped with an aeration system. The grain bin was filled with Hard Red Spring wheat and liquid nitrogen was introduced from the bottom of the bin. The survival of both cold acclimated and unacclimated C. furrugin...
متن کاملAssessment of microwave energy for disinfestation of grain
Infestation of grain by insects is widely controlled by the use of insecticides. Use of contact insecticides results in chemical residues left in the food which may have adverse effects on humans. Also insects develop resistance to both contact insecticides and fumigants. Microwave disinfestation offers an alternate way to disinfest grain. Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with frequencies r...
متن کاملUsing Microwave Energy to Treat Tumors
Recently, hyperthermia has been investigated as an alternate therapy for the treatment of tumors. This paper explored the feasibility of preferential hyperthermia as a method of treating deep seated tumors. The overall goal of this research was to determine theoretically if preferential heating could be used to attain the desired thermal dose (DTD) for a two cm diameter tumor. The simulations i...
متن کاملMicrowave Heating as an Alternative Quarantine Method for Disinfestation of Stored Food Grains
Insects and pests constitute a major threat to food supplies all over the world. Some estimates put the loss of food grains because of infestation to about 40% of the world production. Contemporary disinfestation methods are chemical fumigation, ionizing radiation, controlled atmosphere, conventional hot air treatment, and dielectric heating, that is, radio frequency and microwave energy, and s...
متن کاملEffect of Microwave Aided Disinfestation of Callosobruchus Maculatus on Green Gram Quality
Pulses constitute an important part of the daily diet of vegetarian population as a major source of protein. It is estimated that insects cause the most damage to the pulse grains during storage and pulse bruchids are the major storage pests. The stored pulses are usually fumigated to wade away the insect infestation. The residual effect of these chemicals on public health and growing resistanc...
