In examples, a material, such as raw or processed grain, may be dispensed (e.g., by a vibratory feeder) and charge associated therewith may be neutralized (e.g., by an ion generator). The material may then be suspended within a fluid flow. The fluid flow may pass through a treatment chamber, where material suspended therein is exposed to one or more light sources. The light sources may emit UVB, UVC, and/or VUV light, which may have germicidal and/or photocatalytic effects. In some examples, the flow is carried through the treatment chamber by a quartz tube, which may be doped or the interior of which may be coated by titanium dioxide. As an example, when the titanium dioxide is exposed to the UVB light, an oxidation reaction may occur, which may have germicidal, cleaning, and/or odor-reducing effect,. among other examples. The treated material may ultimately settle out of the flow and be collected.

A seed sorting machine contains a feeding area, a plurality of filtration units, a classification assembly, multiple guiding assemblies, a delivery unit, and at least one pressing rod. Each filtration unit includes multiple holding trays, a plurality of first partitions, and each holding tray has a filtering hole. The classification assembly includes a classifying tray, multiple guide sheets, and a plurality of outlets. Each guiding assembly includes a holder and multiple ribs, wherein between any two adjacent of the multiple ribs is defined a slot which corresponds to each of the plurality of outlets. The delivery unit includes a base on which multiple V-shaped grooves and multiple second partitions are arranged. Each pressing rod includes a plurality of rollers and multiple trenches, wherein each of the multiple trenches is defined between any two adjacent of the multiple trenches and corresponds to each of the multiple V-shaped grooves.

The present invention provides a method for preparing rollable and shelf stable pure millet flour comprising the following steps: a) cleaning millet grains to remove foreign material; b) pressure steaming millet grains; c) cooling of millets obtained from step b); d) oven drying or vacuum drying of millets obtained from step c); c) milling with 5 to 25% by weight of pregelatinized millet flour; thereby obtaining millet flour which is substantially rollable and have high shelf life.

A method of determining the mass balance closure quantification of fiber of a sample includes using an extraction technique followed by analysis of non-saccharide soluble organics (solubles). In conjunction with traditional analyses of protein, fat, starch, and ash, this method accurately determines fiber by mass closure calculation. On pre and post processed grain materials the calculation is fiber=100proteinfatstarchashsolubles. The accurate determination of fiber determines the converted fraction for the generation of D3 RINS by the Environmental Protection Agency's in situ renewable fuels pathway.
