grain testing methods

Grain testing methods evaluate quality traits such as moisture content, protein levels, and purity. Techniques include visual inspection for appearance and cleanliness, moisture meters to measure water content, and lab analyses like spectroscopy or chemical tests for nutritional values. Some tests, like X-ray imaging, detect foreign materials or damaged kernels. These methods ensure grains meet quality standards for storage, processing, and sale, helping growers, buyers, and regulators make informed decisions about grain quality and safety.
