METHOD OF TREATING GRAIN PRIOR TO LAYING IT FOR STORAGE OR DURING PROCESSING OF GRAIN INTO FLOUR Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: agriculture and flour-milling industry. SUBSTANCE: method involves spraying water into grain, with water being exposed to supersonic treatment in cavitational mode prior to spraying. Water may be aerated before being exposed to cavitational mode treatment. When oxygen saturated water is exposed to acoustic vibrations in cavitational mode, its physicochemical properties are sharply changed. Method provides effective preparing of grain for grinding in flour mill. EFFECT: increased efficiency and provision for prolonged storage of grain. 2 cl, 1 dwg
