Measuring and managing quality in grain milling while processing has to date not been achieved due to the available technologies and their cost. The project seeks to develop Near Infra-Red and UV Fluoresence sensors that will be accurate and cost effective, which will enable in-process control of protein, moisture and contaminants such as mycotoxins and other key parameters to be measured in real time.The proposed project will utilise photonic technology to develop an innovative solution to replace conventional technologies. This approach also opens opportunities for integration into process control systems making the milling process more efficient, improving yields and more cost effective.Near Infra-Red (NIR) spectroscopy is the principle technology used to determine the physical properties and quality of foodstuffs such as flour, and can also be applied to industrial sectors handling powdered products, such as polymers. UV Fluorescence Spectroscopy is being used to detect the presence of potentially harmful mycotoxins.

由于现有技术及其成本的原因，迄今为止尚未实现加工过程中谷物碾磨质量的测量和管理。该项目旨在开发准确且具有成本效益的近红外和紫外荧光传感器，从而能够对蛋白质、水分和污染物（例如霉菌毒素）以及其他需要实时测量的关键参数进行过程控制。项目将利用光子技术开发创新解决方案来取代传统技术。这种方法还为集成到过程控制系统中提供了机会，使研磨过程更加高效，提高产量并更具成本效益。近红外 (NIR) 光谱是用于确定面粉等食品的物理特性和质量的主要技术，也可应用于处理粉末产品（例如聚合物）的工业部门。紫外荧光光谱用于检测潜在有害的霉菌毒素的存在。
