Abstract

The monitoring of grain and seeds characteristics is fundamental to maintain postharvest quality. Grain mass changes through CO2 levels monitoring can reduce the product deterioration by anticipating actions to maintain the grain mass quality. This study aimed to develop a CO2 monitoring system in stored grains/seeds and to analyze its efficiency. The analysis was performed in four crop species (brachiaria, sunflower, corn, and soybean) with different water content and sanity condition. The system hardware was composed of a controller micro board, CO2 sensor and data stored module. The system routine was developed in C++ language. The monitoring of CO2 and flammable gases was performed for system analysis and verification. The system monitoring developed showed efficiency in CO2 levels determination in stored grains/seeds and low-cost, being a viable and applicable tool aiming to the maintenance of postharvest quality.
