What Should You Test in Grain? Key things to test for in grain include: Moisture, Protein, Specific weight, Mycotoxins, Oil content, Falling number. These various elements in grain will have an impact on its quality, its marketability and its overall value as a product. Moisture content is a major concern. It affects the sale weight of grain and determines whether it can be stored in the long term. Protein is important because food manufacturers and processors will be looking for a specific quality of grain for their products. If a farmer's grain yield fails to match these requirements, they can find their crop rejected or fetching lower prices. The specific weight is a standard, widely understood and accepted measure of grain quality. It is an indicator of the density of grain, and as with protein, producers and millers will have specific weight requirements for the grains they buy. Testing for nitrogen in some grains may be necessary as levels that are too high can lead to a lower specific weight. Testing for mycotoxins is vital, as these naturally occurring toxins can impact crop production, contaminating crops during harvesting, drying and storage. Plus, they pose a risk further up the food chain, if animals eat contaminated feed. Oil content is an essential parameter for various seed crops, including oilseed, including testing the purity of oil. The falling number (FN) test measures alpha-amylase (AA) enzyme activity and levels. Levels of AA activity can determine whether specific grains are suitable for different baked products. This is the original method for testing the suitability of wheat for bread-making.
