Potassium Sorbate Inhibition of Mold in High Moisture Corn

High moisture corn treated with potassium sorbate and potassium sorbate plus propylene glycol had a significantly longer safe storage period than untreated samples. Untreated corn showed a greater percentage of mold infected kernels, while a lesser percentage of infection was found in samples treated with the higher chemical levels. The predominant molds found to infect the stored corn were Penicillium, Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Cladosporium.
