Maize Processing at Limwelo Stores
At Limwelo Stores, maize undergoes a quality control process that includes sampling and laboratory testing, measuring moisture content, physical inspection for damage and foreign materials, and testing for harmful aflatoxins.
Sample Collection and Laboratory Testing
Samples of maize are drawn from the stock for quality assessment.
The samples are transported to the laboratory for testing.
01
Moisture Content Measurement
The moisture level of the maize samples is measured to determine their dryness.
Proper moisture content is essential to prevent spoilage and mold growth.
