Introduction to Grain Testing

Grain is a small, hard, dry seed with or without an attached hull or fruit layer that are harvested for human or animal consumption. The "Grain" ranges from rice, wheat, millet, soybeans to other miscellaneous grains. Cereals are mainly plant seeds and fruits, which are traditional staple food of many Asian people. The two main types of commercial grain crops are cereals and legumes. Maize, rice, soybeans and wheat are found in major global commodity markets. The nutrients of cereals mainly include protein, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and vitamins. Cereals are processed into staple foods, providing humans with 50% to 80% heat, 40% to 70% protein, and more than 60% vitamin B1. However, grain processing will cause a loss of nutrients in the grain.
