ABSTRACT:
Mechanical damage to grain is measured by taking a small sample of the grain and applying a solution of a substance which will selectively adhere only to the exposed surface of the interior of the damaged grain and not to the seed coat. Excess solution is rinsed away; and thereafter a solvent which will dissolve the substance adhering to the exposed internal parts of the grain is applied. The amount of recovered material brought back into solution is then measured; and the measurement is representative of the mechanical damage to the grain.
