Monitoring the Quality of Soybeans with NIR

Quality monitoring of whole soybeans at the raw material intake has many benefits, for example prevention of out-of-spec material entering the production, quality segregation prior to processing, or authentication of the raw material. Rapid and accurate determination of the composition of whole syobeans is of critical importance to come to the necessary conclusions.

Based on the accurate measurements of moisture, protein, and oil content, soybeans can be stored at different silos or optimally pretreated for the subsequent production steps. By using NIR spectroscopy to measure key parameters, the soybean industry can ensure consistency in product quality, optimize production processes, and avoid potential economic losses due to substandard soybean lots.
