Abstract

The usefulness of the physical barrier of a paper sack against insect infestation, particularly by Tribolium castaneum Herbst. in stored decorticated groundnuts in Northern Nigeria was studied. Laboratory trials and open‐air field tests showed that the storage of uninfested nuts in paper sacks preserved quality and reduced losses to a greater extent than did conventional hessian sacks. Previously infested groundnuts stored in paper sacks showed lower quality and greater losses in weight than similar nuts in hessian containers.

Paper sacks with a sleeve valve for filling were more proof against insects than open‐mouthed paper sacks and both types were particularly successful when situated either in the upper layers or in the interior of a stack in the open air.

## Abstract Postharvest storage of beans (__Phaseolus vulgaris__ L.) can alter the color, texture, flavor and time required for cooking. These alterations have been associated with the ‘hard‐to‐cook’ phenomenon (HTC) and a reduction in the quality of the grains. HTC has been linked to the genotype,
