    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 30-08-99) HOSAMANI, VIDYAVATHI S.; RAO, SUHASINI
    The present study was conducted during the year 1997-98. The main objectives of the study was to study the existing storage practices of wheat products in rural and urban households, to analyse the effect of different storage methods and to suggest the suitable method of storage to improve the helf-life of the selected varieties of wheat products. The sample comprised of 75 each rural and urban households. Results revealed that majority of both rural and urban respondents practiced traditional storage structures like cane baskets, polythene lined gunny bags and aluminium container for storing wheat products like atta and rava. For the laboratory experiment selected wheat products atta and rava obtained from the varieties DWRT62 (V1), DWR—185 (V2) and DDK—1001(V1) stored in three different containers viz., Aluminium dabba (C1), Polythene bag (200 gauge) (C2) and Polythene bag placed in aluminium dabba (C.)] were stored upto five months. Among the varieties studied the atta and rava of variety. Vi stored in C1 container was most susceptible for attack of figmoth, rice weevil and lesser grain borer and the least infestation was observed in V2 and V3 varieties stored in C2 and C3 containers respectively. The highest wet and dry weight of gluten content was in Vn and Vi varieties and the least in V2 variety throughout the storage period. The highest organoleptic evaluation score was obtained for chapati prepared from the atta of Vi and V.t varieties stored in Cn and C2 containers, respectively whereas, for upma, highest score for rava of V2 and V., varieties stored in C2 and C3 containers respectively. Thus, V2 and V.j varieties were good for upma preparation and Vj and V3 were good for chapati preparation. Sundrying of atta and roasting of rava before storage reduces the infestation and increases the shelf-life
