Location: Bio-oils Research
Project Number: 5010-43000-009-000-D
Project Type: In-House Appropriated
Start Date: Apr 30, 2020
End Date: Apr 29, 2025
Objective:
Develop cutting edge analytical standards to provide a platform for essential activities to support soybean composition improvement in the U.S., including amino acids, fatty acids, protein, oil, and other important constituents.
Approach:
Using new wet chemical methods, improved near infrared calibrations will be performed and compared to calibrations by other NIR users. A wider range of soybean composition will be worked into the calibration. Soxhlet and nitrogen analyses will be performed on a large number of soybean samples and added to the current calibration.
