Laboratory testing will always be the gold standard in food inspection. Laboratory equipment for agriculture, food industry and other industries is sold on the Ukrainian market at http://altairplus.com.ua/. PE "Altair Plus" specializes in the production of equipment for laboratory research of grain quality, stations of sanitary and epidemiological control, measuring devices for the mining and metallurgical sector. Sampling tools and devices for food analysis are under development.
Grain quality is determined by several factors, such as physical (moisture content, bulk density, grain size, core hardness, etc.), safety (fungal infection, mycotoxins, insects and mites and their fragments, odor of foreign materials) and compositional factors (oil content, protein content, starch content).
It can be said that each type of grain has properties that contribute to its overall quality. Considering different properties or qualities, either alone or together, allows grain to be granulated and graded and allows the design and development of optimal handling, storage and handling methods.
The term "quality" has different meanings for those who handle, store and use grain, although everyone will be looking for “good quality” grain. For example, grain processing businesses will want dry, insect-free, undamaged grain that will store well; mills want grains that produce a high percentage of finished products, while bakeries and consumers care about the taste, appearance or culinary qualities of the grain.
