Cereal grains : assessing and managing quality / editors, Colin Wrigley, QAAFI, University of Queensland, St. Lucia, QLD, Australia, Ian Batey, Sunset Cereal Services, Meadowbank, NSW, Australia, Diane Miskelly, Westcott Consultants, Goulburn, NSW, Australia.

Quality and food safety are important throughout the value-addition chain, from breeding, production, harvest, storage, transport, processing, and marketing. At all stages, analysis is needed so that quality management can proceed intelligently. These considerations are examined for each of the major cereal species, including wheat (common and durum), rye and triticale, barley and oats, rice, maize (corn), pseudocereal species, sorghum, and the millets. Divided into five sections, the book analyses these for the range of cereal species before a final section summarizes key findings.-- Source other than Library of Congress.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
