Within the framework of the control of goods received and quality of the processing industries, various laboratory methods are applied at present to check the properties of the products and the observance of the standards. The control of the goods received decides whether the supplied goods will be accepted and allocated the status “healthy and customary” or whether the goods before storage in the silo have to be subjected to a special treatment in order to reduce impurities, moisture, etc. The evaluation of the quality features is especially important in order to store together grain of special quality grades or to process with regard to the desired quality grade of the final product.","PeriodicalId":100658,"journal":{"name":"Imaging & Microscopy","volume":"9 1","pages":"36-37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85237344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
