Canada's grain handling system has evolved with the need to satisfy overseas customers in an expedient and efficient manner. To maintain Canada's reputation of exporting high-quality grain, research on methodologies to preserve the harvested grain is needed. Stored-grain bulks are ecological systems where communities of insects, mites, and micro flora interact with grain to cause spoilage. Carbon dioxide and odour volatiles from biological pests increase during spoilage can be used as a reliable indicator of incipient grain spoilage.

加拿大的谷物处理系统随着以便捷和高效的方式满足海外客户的需要而不断发展。为了维护加拿大出口高质量谷物的声誉，需要研究保存收获的谷物的方法。仓储粮堆是一种生态系统，其中昆虫、蠕虫和微生物群落与粮食相互作用，造成变质。在变质过程中，生物害虫产生的二氧化碳和气味挥发物增加，可以作为谷物早期变质的可靠指标。
