“…The storage of beans is a necessary step to meet the demand of these grains during the off‐season period. However, inadequate control of factors affecting grain quality at this postharvest stage impairs the nutritional quality and technological and sensory properties of the grains, thus, reducing the commercial value (Ferreira et al, , ; Siqueira et al, ; Tulyathan & Leeharatanaluk, ; Ziegler, Ferreira, Hoffmann, Chaves, et al, ). Among the factors that affect grain quality during the storage period are moisture and grain temperature, temperature and relative humidity of the air in the storage environment, quality of the grains shortly after harvesting, and presence of insects (Nasar‐Abbas et al, ; Njoroge et al, ; Pohndorf, Meneghetti, Paiva, Oliveira, & Elias, ; Rani, Chelladurai, Jayas, White, & Kavitha‐Abirami, ; Strelec, Šarkanj, Mrša, & Ugarcic‐Hardi, ).…”
