Title:

High throughput determination of protein characteristics and proximate analysis of seeds

Agreement Number:

945981

Agreement Value:

$44,783.00

Agreement Date:

Feb 11, 2020 - Mar 31, 2020

Description:

The proposed project is an equipment investment to build a deep-learning application to create a system for automated protein determination of pulses. The project team has completed the proof-of-concept work that used mid-infrared (IR) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy separately on pea samples to determine the seed nutritional qualities. The acquisition of the proposed advanced equipment is essential to move to towards an automated sampling system through extensive testing and machine learning.
