| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of UV.C irradiation and magnetic field to inhibition and killing fungi associated with grain in calls jasmine rice in silo . The field survey results for grains showed that many fungi associated with grain from farm to the stores ,some of this fungi increased during the different storage periods and the other decreased and this fungi has effect on the germination ratio and grains quality beside of that the effect of mycotoxins on the Healthy of costumer . The study also showed that using UV-C irradiation of 254nm and 99.52 w/m2 , the magnetic field of 8.5mT together has a great effect on the percentage apearing of fungi associated with grains in type Jasmine rice when exposed to periods 2,4 and 6 minutes where the percentage apearing 6.60,6.60,0.00% respectively as compared with 100% control treatment. The study also shows there is a difference in resistance of fungi for the UV-C irradiation and the magnetic field where the fungi Alternaria alternata the most fungus that resistance for the UV-C irradiation . So when reviewing the results of research shows that it possible to use UV-C irradiation and magnetic field in reduction the fungi associated with grain in rice and that means the control of mycotoxins production if used properly on the tanker lines for grain in Silo | ||
