Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation Flaxseed quality deteriorated within less than 1–3 months at 40 and 50°C.
- Observation Fatty acid values seldom rose over 1.5-fold in 12 months at 10 or 20°C with up to 10% moisture, or at 30°C with 7–8% moisture.
- Observation At 8–9% moisture, flaxseed could be stored six months at 30°C with under 1.5-fold fatty acid increase.
- Association Twofold fatty acid value increase correlated with seed discoloration and rapid germination loss.
- Observation Germination did not decrease over 12 months at 10 or 20°C and 70% RH, or 30°C and 60% RH.
- Observation Aspergillus glaucus group infected stored flaxseed at low frequency by six months.
- Observation A. candidus infected stored flaxseed at low frequency by six months.
- Observation Penicillium infected stored flaxseed at low frequency by six months.
- Observation Visible microflora were absent after six months at 40 and 50°C.
- Observation Four beetle species survived and produced larvae on whole and ground flaxseed in two months.
- Observation McGregor was slightly more suitable for insect reproduction than NorMan or NorLin.
- Observation Five other insect species could not survive on flaxseed.
- Observation Extensive stored-product insect infestation of flaxseed was deemed unlikely.
