Abstract
Abstract The fumigation of wheat in sacks with ethylene oxide is most efficient when the method of sustained‐vacuum fumigation is used. Vacuum fumigation with simultaneous admission of air and fumigant is no more efficient than fumigation at atmospheric pressure over the same period. Ethylene oxide is much less strongly sorbed by wheat than is hydrogen cyanide, whichever method of application is used, but the moisture content of the wheat is even more important in determining the sorption of ethylene oxide than that of hydrogen cyanide. During fumigation of moist grain with ethylene oxide under sustained reduced‐pressure, concentrations inside the sack consistently exceed those in the free space, and reach a maximum in the centre. The ‘air‐washing’ procedures are as inefficient for ethylene oxide as for hydrogen cyanide in airing the grain after fumigation.
