Effects of corn quality and storage on dry grind ethanol production
Corn dry grind industry is the major contributor of ethanol production in the US. Ethanol plants incur economic losses due to seasonal variations in ethanol yields. Ethanol yields typically are low during the first month after harvest, increase for the next six to seven months and decrease again …

Computerized dryer monitoring and drying rate effects on seed corn quality
A production seed corn dryer was instrumented and software was developed that enabled a personal computer to collect and record data. Alarms were signaled if the data exceeded pre-established limits. Airflow rate and average moisture content for the ear corn in the bins were estimated from the …

Effect of Corn Quality and Enzyme Supplementation on Broiler Performance, Gastrointestinal Enzyme Activity, Nutrient Retention, Intestinal Mucin, and Jejunal Gene Expression
… to investigate the underlying mechanism of corn quality and a supplemented cocktail enzyme of amylase, protease, and xylanase on broiler performance from 0 to 49 days of age. In each of the first two EXP, the four diets used consisted of (1) diet AR-/BR-; reduced dietary energy by increasing …

A knowledge-based machine vision system for grain quality inspection
… vision system was developed for automatic corn quality inspection. This system consisted of a primitive feature extraction algorithm, several quality-related feature extraction algorithms, and several knowledge-based corn quality inspection algorithms. The feature extraction and corn …

Detection of stress cracks in corn kernels using machine vision
Maintaining high quality of corn is very important to both corn producers and buyers. The detection of stress cracks remains one of the most important tasks in corn quality inspection. Such an index of quality would be helpful in assessing not only the end-use values of the corn but also the drying …

Modeling the Fourier transform near infrared spectra of unreacted starch in corn for monitoring applications
… the renewable biofuels industry. In this process corn must be stored and used throughout the year. Corn quality changes, in terms of unreacted starch content, in the dry grind process have not been extensively studied, although they impact the efficiency of bioconversion to ethanol and its …
