Abstract

Cereal grains are an important part of the human diet. As an agricultural product, they can easily become contaminated with a variety of pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms during growth, harvest, and storage. Therefore, a number of strategies have been developed to minimize loss of product throughout the production chain. This article presents an overview of important cereal spoilage organisms and common methods of preservation.
