Collaborative project: Quality-related grain harvest based on the use of optical analysis techniques – Subproject 1
Project
Project code: 2815306407
Contract period: 01.06.2010
- 31.05.2013
Budget: 381,200 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development
Quality is an essential attribute of agricultural products and production processes. Wheat quality is primarily classified according to protein concentration and sub classified depending on additional parameters, such as moisture content, sedimentation value and falling number (HFN). Real-time sensing of grain protein concentration by means of near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) is an established method of assessing cereal grain quality during harvest. The objective of this study was to obtain NIRS calibration models for determining ?-amylase activity of wheat, for screening of Deoxynivalenol and to identify changes in wheat quality. The comparison of NIR and reference analysis indicates that the use of near-infrared reflectance inline spectroscopy on combine harvesters can provide information for grain growers to optimize grain processing and marketing.
