NEAR INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY (NIRS) FOR INSECT EARLY DETECTION OF GRAIN INSECTS to improve the recognition/manag
ement of infested batches in storage/dispatch facilities, especially in ports that, due to their operations/equipment, are particularly vulnerable to contamination.
Non-destructive, easy to use, fast, it requires no specific preparation of the sample, does not use chemicals and gives access to several composition criteria simultaneously.
Led by Arvalis with the contribution of Polytec and tested on conveyor belts and in reception control laboratories at silo entrances at the port of Rouen (operator Senalia) and Zwolle (Graansloot).
