摘要

Sprout damage in grains results in increased alpha-amylase activity, which can cause detrimental effects on the quality of downstream products. It is therefore important to devise a rapid and simple method for determining the alpha-amylase activity ofthe grains that is suitable for use at grain elevators. The Hagberg Falling Number (FN) test and Newport Scientific Rapid Visco Analyser (RVA) Stirring Number (SN) test are two common methods used to test alpha-amylase activity. Prior to testing, samplepreparation includes steps to grind, clean, weigh and dispense, which are time consuming and require semi璼killed labour, so are poorly suited to the grain collection environment. Newport Scientific has developed two new instruments to address these concerns. The first is a self-cleaning mill (SCM) designed to reduce carry-over and cross contamination of samples, and the second is an automatic dispenser unit (ADU) that dispenses the corrected amount of water into a sample. These instruments are designed for use with an RVA StarchMaster that performs the SN test. Prototypes of SCM and ADU have been developed and trialed. This paper reports on the feasibility, accuracy and repeatability of the three instruments as a package for monitoring and managing sprout damage in wheat. Grinding sprouted and sound wheat alternately, minimal carry-over was observed on both the SCM prototypes by weighing residues (<0.33 g) and by looking for reduction in SN values of sound wheat samples (<1.7% reduction in SN). Subsequent SN results from the ground samples showed that cross-contamination was very low. Good accuracy and repeatability was obtained from the ADU (<0.05 mL). The SCM, ADU and RVA StarchMaster show promise as a rapid and simple solution for managing sprout damage in grains.
