Principal component analysis (A physical quality, E physicochemical quality) and Pearson’s correlations (B physical quality, F physicochemical quality) of the effects of the whole, broken, and normal corn grain lots stored for different times under different storage conditions in hermetic systems, aerated and non-aerated metal silos, and bags on the physical quality. (C) Principal component analyses and (D) Pearson’s correlations of the effects of the initial water content of the grains and temperature of the drying air on the variations in water desorption and adsorption as a function of storage time and physical quality of the corn grain lots. (G) Principal component analyses and (H) Pearson’s correlations of the effects of the drying air temperature, environment, and storage time on the physicochemical quality of the corn grains.
