Samples were taken after 7 weeks and then consecutively every 2 weeks until week 19.

1

Values within columns with different superscript letters (a, b, c) differ significantly (p < 0.05/48 = 0.001), interaction between treatment and week p < 0.0211. Presented as Log10 LS means.

2

Treatment D was generated by drying grain from the same batch as for treatment M (moist crimped).

3

Below detection level (for yeasts and LAB 100 cfu g−1 grain, for molds 10 cfu g−1 grain).

4

Values within columns with different superscripts differ significantly (p < 0.05/24 = 0.002), interaction between treatment and week p < 0.001l. Presented as Log10 LS means.

5

No statistical analysis, presented as mean (n = 3) Log10 cfu g−1 grain, standard deviation was <1 for all values.
