This document defines the repeatability and the reproducibility of a method using near infrared spectroscopy in whole kernels for the determination of moisture and protein on wheat and barley. The performance of the method (accuracy) is found in EN 15948.
The values derived from the report are applicable to the following concentration ranges:
— for wheat:
— moisture content range from 9,5 % – 15,7 %;
— protein content range from 10,0 % DM to 18,6 % DM;
— for barley:
— moisture content range from 10,6 % – 15,9 %;
— protein content range from 9,2 % DM – 15,4 % DM.
