Summary: A brief study on the effectiveness of chemical treatment of harvested kola nuts. The two researchers specifically examined the impact on the formation and spread of mold, as this can render large harvests unsellable and unusable. They conclude that pre-drying (known as 'curing') significantly reduces mold, although this process is time-consuming. Therefore, a shortened drying process in combination with chemical treatment is also possible, effective, and safe for health.
