Title

EFFECT OF OPERATIONAL SPEED OF AN ENTOLETER AND PACKAGING MATERIAL ON MICROFLORA AND NUTRITIVE VALUE OF STORED WHEAT

Abstract

Various physical and chemical methods for controlling microbes have been used for many years. The usage of mechanical techniques of controlling microorganisms in stored food stuffs and other products is advantageous, as no left over toxicity risk is involved and the microbes doesn’t evolve any resistance to these techniques. In the present study, a physical method of controlling microorganisms was effectively carried out, with the help of an Entoleter. Experiments were conducted in the developed Entoleter, with a speed varying from 500-1500 rpm for wheat grains. Wheat samples were passed through the Entoleter three times (first pass, second pass, third pass) and examined for microbial load of the samples. Results revealed significant (p<0.05) decrease in microbial load with the increase in speed and number of passes. Maximum decrease was observed at 1500 rpm in third pass. In modern new age, food packaging has become very crucial because of preservation of product from contamination by macro and micro-organisms and their filth, preclusion from loss or gain of moisture, protection of product from oxygen and to assist handling. Wheat samples (5kg) were packaged in PET containers, Steel containers and PP bags and evaluated for microbiological quality and quality attributes, to find the best packaging material for storage. Results suggested that, there was a significant increase in microbial load (total plate count, fungi and coliform count) throughout the storage. Increase was more profound in PP bags followed by PET and steel containers. Quality attributes were analyzed after an interval of 15 days. Results showed a significant decrease in carbohydrate, protein, fat, fiber and ash content, while moisture content increased throughout the storage. Maximum decrease was observed in PP bags. Hence, steel containers best maintained the microbiological quality and nutritive value of the stored samples.
