Some tests and quality controls at lab.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based detection methods

Methods that rely on DNA-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedures and particularly for the detection or quantification of GMOs.

Electronic noses

One component of the inspection process is the evaluation of the headspace above the grain for presence of off odors caused by molds, insects, straw, herbs and other non-grain species, insects, decay, and odors from other contamination sources.

Reliance on the human nose for inspection has the drawback of disagreement among individual inspectors’ perceptions of odors, as well as a health risk associated with the inhalation of the spores and vapors arising from the grain sample.

X-ray imaging for internal insects

Research on the use of x-rays to detect insect eggs and larvae within the kernel has been ongoing for more than 50 years ago

Human Visual Analysis

Visual inspection of the grain lot as a whole, as well as careful inspection of a representative sample. The reason why the challenge is so great lies in the diversity of conditions to be examined, which include broken and shriveled kernels, immature kernels, heat-damaged and frost-damaged kernels, staining, insect-damaged kernels, stored grain insects, ergot, mould-damaged kernels, foreign seeds, foreign matter, non-threshed grains, sprouted kernels and kernels of other classes.

ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay)

Quality evaluation of cereal grains and grain products

Detection of sprouted wheat kernels

Reflectance spectra (1250–2390 nm) of two classes of western wheat

Measuring Grain Traits

Subjective Determination

The simplest and cheapest method to determine grain quality is to visually examine and smell the grain.

If the grain contains discolored kernels, insects, and/or has a bad odor, then its quality should be suspect, and the grain should be avoided or subjected to more rigorous tests.

Formal grading procedures that include quantifying discolored kernels, insect damage, and foreign matters

Measuring Basic Grain Traits

Scales (weighing balance) ∼2000 × 0.2 g accuracy or better

Dockage (defects) sieves

Density tester

Grain mats

Moisture tester (some include density testers)

Dockage (defects) tester

Sampler for taking grain samples form sacks or bulk containers

Measuring Additional Grain Quality Traits

Some buyers request additional information such as protein content and toxin levels so they can produce a safe and high-quality product such as protein, moisture, oil, and starch contents.
