CRUSHED GRAIN [8 records]

Record 1 2025-05-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plant and Crop Production
  • Agricultural Economics
CONT

The most common grading factors in Canada Canola were frost-damaged seed and distinctly green seed ... Distinctly green seeds indicate high amounts of chlorophyll, which makes cooking oil rancid. Chlorophyll must be extracted during processing. Chlorophyll from frost-damaged seeds is more difficult to remove than chlorophyll from immature seeds.

OBS

The Canadian Grain Commission has a colour guide for elevator graders to follow. Distinctly green(DGR) is a dark green throughout the whole seed. You might think of it as ’John Deere’ green. As the Grain Grading Guide says "distinctly green" tolerances are applied to crushed seeds which are a distinct green throughout.

OBS

distinctly green; DGR: designations used at the Canadian Grain Commission.

Domaine(s)
  • Cultures (Agriculture)

CONT

Le facteur de classement concernant les graines [d'oléagineux] nettement vertes est lié à la présence de chlorophylle, qui cause le rancissement de l'huile à friture. Il faut extraire la chlorophylle des graines durant la transformation.

OBS

nettement vert : désignations en usage à la Commission canadienne des grains.

Subject field(s)
  • Milling and Cereal Industries
CONT

Oats are finely ground to produce raw oat flour in the same way as wheat grains are processed into flour. First, the kernels are cleaned by a precleaner with an oscillating screen. The hull is then crushed, leaving most of the bran and germ. The resulting grain is ground into fine oat flour by a roller mill, burr mill, or hammer mill.

Subject field(s)
  • Milling and Cereal Industries
  • Grain Growing
  • Seed Plants (Spermatophyta)
CONT

Freshly harvested "green" wild rice is invariably on the damp side. It must commence drying, or "curing, "almost immediately, or souring and mold will develop, especially in broken or crushed grains. Another purpose of the curing period is to give the immature grains a chance to ripen. Given this opportunity, a good number of the soft grains will get hard and gain the dark brown or black color of a ripe grain.

OBS

green: Not mature or ripe ...

DEF

Any of several sorghum varieties that are cultivated primarily for the sweet juice in their stems from which sugar and syrup are made and that can also be used for fodder and silage.

CONT

Sweet sorghums, or sorgos, are grown mainly in the United States and southern Africa for forage and for syrup manufacture and are sometimes used in the production of ethyl alcohol for biofuel.

CONT

Sweet sorghum is predominantly grown for sorghum syrup. Unlike grain sorghum, sweet sorghum is harvested for the stalks rather than the grain and is crushed like sugarcane or beets to produce a syrup.

CONT

Les sorghos sucriers : variétés de grande taille (2 m à 3,50 m voire plus), avec des épis plus petits que ceux des sorghos grains. Plutôt tardifs, ils ont besoin de 120 à plus de 150 jours de végétation selon les variétés.

CONT

Le sorgho sucrier permet de produire du sirop et de la mélasse. [...] Comme le sorgho grain, il peut aussi être utilisé pour l'ensilage, méthode de conservation de fourrages verts, ou servir à produire de l'alcool ou du biocarburant.

CONT

Mineral separates... will be used for... optical investigations using crushed grain mounts, and x-ray diffraction identification.

CONT

The vitrine reflectance measurements are carried out on grain mounts ... which are polished to a high degree and analyzed ...

CONT

Artifacts in the thin section or grain mounts may look like mineral material and show optical properties similar to minerals. Artifacts include air bubbles, grinding powder, lint fibers, some organic residues, and strained mounting resin that may cause birefringence.

CONT

Les échantillons de roche sont broyés, et les grains de minéraux lourds séparés selon leur densité et leurs propriétés magnétiques. Les grains de minéraux sont individuellement caractérisés [...] et préparés pour une analyse sous un microscope binoculaire.

Subject field(s)

  • Leather Bags, Baggage and Satchels
DEF

A morocco leather that has had its grain surface crushed to the extent that it is smooth.

CONT

176 - Otto Dorfner ... Blue crushed morocco (110x182mm).

OBS

Crushing of this nature is done before the leather is attached to the book. The characteristic high polish is applied subsequent to binding. Although a certain effect is attained by this process, to a great extent it defeats the original purpose of using morocco leather, i.e., its beautiful grain pattern.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industrie du cuir

CONT

176 - Otto Dorfner : Maroquin écrasé bleu [...] Collection particulière. Une reliure due à Otto Dorfner, grand doreur allemand, dont on peut admirer ici un travail de dorure classique à motifs en losange impeccablement réalisé.
