Cereals. Determination of moisture and protein. Method using Near-Infrared-Spectroscopy in whole kernels. | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This European Standard defines a routine method for the determination of moisture and protein in whole kernels of barley and wheat using a near-infrared spectrophotometer in the constituent ranges:

1. a) for wheat:
   1. 1) moisture content minimum range from 8 % to 22 %;
   2. 2) protein content minimum range from 7 % to 20 %.
2. b) for barley:
   1. 1) moisture content minimum range from 8 % to 22 %;
   2. 2) protein content minimum range from 7 % to 16 %.

This European Standard describes the modalities to be implemented by the supplier (5.3 and 5.4) and the user of the method.
