A REVIEW: DETERMINATION OF GRAIN MOISTURE CONTENT USING FTIR SPECTROSCOPY

Supriya, Mrs. Ritula Thakur

Abstract :

Agriculture plays a vital role in stabilizing the economy of the country as it is the third largest sector of India‘s economy. Moisture content is the most important characteristics of cereal grains affecting their suitability for harvesting, storage, transport, and processing. The rapid, non–destructive, reliable sensing of moisture content in cereal grains and other agricultural crops is essential in modern agriculture for prevention of losses and improvements in efficiency of production. A variety of techniques have been used for the measurement of moisture in grains and better results have been achieved with the use of new techniques. Spectroscopic moisture analysis methods are of considerable interest as they are non–destructive, efficient and accurate techniques. A variety of techniques have been developed over time and provided improved results. This paper reviews the various techniques of moisture content determination of grains and focuses on their merits and demerits.
