ABSTRACT

The present study was carried out to evaluate the suitable conditions and packaging materials for safe storage of linseed (Linum usitatissimum). The studies revealed that 6-8 per cent moisture was the safest from germination and fungal infestation point of view. However 10-12 per cent moisture was most favourable for fungal infestation along with changes in qualities of seeds. The best containers for storage were gunny bags and/or baked earthen pots. During storage there were no changes in oil and protein content of seeds. However, free fatty acids increased steadily during storage.
