dc.descriptionThis purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of maize grain treated with allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) and stored under hermetic conditions. Maize grains with moisture contents of 14.8 or 17.9% wet basis (w.b.) initial moisture content were packaged in high density polyethylene bags and submitted to treatment with AITC at a concentration of 300 μL kg−1. The bags were stored in controlled temperature chambers at 15, 25 or 35 °C. At 30-day intervals, for a period of 150 days, three bags were removed from the chambers and the grains were submitted to commercial classification, moisture content, bulk density, germination potential and electrical conductivity analyses. It was verified that AITC at 300 μL kg−1 has no significant effect on the physiological quality of maize grains stored in hermetic bags. The microbiological analyses indicate the control of fungi and yeasts on the grains stored with 17.9% w.b. and treated with AITC. The maize grains stored with 14.8% w.b. moisture content in hermetic systems suffered no deterioration and retained their quality for a longer period than grains stored with 17.9% w.b. moisture content, independent of AITC treatment.
