Application: Homogenizing White Rice, Moong Beans, and Kidney Beans
Cereals, rice, and pulses (beans, peas, lentils, chickpeas) are staple foods with diverse applications and nutritional significance. Effective grinding of these materials is essential for subsequent analyses, chemical composition, texture, and sensory evaluations. In addition,studies related to genetic engineering where analytical methods used in sample testing and analysis are crucial for ensuring the successful development, safety, and quality of crops. Protein Analysis, Metabolite Analysis and Nucleic Acid Analysis (DNA and RNA based methods) are fundamental for detecting, identifying, and quantifying genetic modifications.
Traditional grinding methods (mortar and pestle) are not easily reproducible, inconsistent results as well as cross-contamination from inefficient cleaning procedures. The Geno/Grinder® 2010 addresses these challenges by providing a controlled and precise processing environment, ensuring uniform particle size while maintaining the sample integrity.
This application note outlines the practical considerations involved in homogenization of seeds, emphasizing common challenges, homogenizer selection, and process optimization.
