Abstract

An attempt was made to study the preservative ability of two mild acids Viz.. propi- onic and acetic acids at high moisture contents of the grains of Eleusine coracana, Acetic seid proved better than propionic acid for the purpose. A 3% concentration of acetic acid was needed for the prevention and multiplication of all the mycoflora associ ated with the grains except for Aspergillus fumigatus Fres. which needed still a high concentration. The viability of the grains was lost by the treatment (9.14 1 lit. per ton) with propionic acid whereas they were found viable with the acetic acid treatment even at 5% concentration.
