Others include\u00a0barley,\u00a0oats, and\u00a0millet. The carbohydrate-rich cereals compare favorably with the protein-rich foods in\u00a0energy\u00a0value. The major component of all grains is\u00a0starch. Cereals contain little\u00a0fat, protein\u00a0ranges from 6 to 16 percent but does not have as high a nutritive value as that of many animal foods because of the low\u00a0lysine\u00a0content.<strong>\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p><h5><strong>Quality concern<\/strong><\/h5><p>Cereal grains are subject to quality loss during storage and transportation, often resulting in considerable diminution in grade and value. The quality loss in stored grains is caused mainly by deterioration, a natural process which breaks down organic matter through either physical\/chemical processes or biological processes where contained nutrients and energy are used by other life forms. The effects of deterioration can be considerably diminished through careful stored grain management.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n

Preservatives can keep food fresher for longer periods of time, extending its shelf life. Food preservatives also are used to slow or prevent changes in color, flavor or texture and delay rancidity.<br \/>When it comes to preserving foods, there are two methods: physical and chemical. Drying, refrigerating and freezing are examples of physical preservation.
