The group voted to join GEAPS in Austin, Texas. Bill Koshar will work with his contacts at GEAPS and work out the particulars. He will also draft a letter that incoming NC-213 Chair, Kingsly Ambrose, will send to GEAPS requesting that we join them for their banquet, and collaborative efforts. Dirk Maier stressed that we should work on getting some type of an agenda to GEAPS in a timely manner to help advertise our portion of the meeting. The Andersons Cereals & Oilseeds Award of Excellence and The Andersons Early-in-Career Award Klein Ileleji lead discussion on extending the nomination period to Monday, March 30. After some discussion, the group felt that it would be a good idea to extend the nomination period and to present the awards at the upcoming 2015 International Grain Quality and Food Safety Conference. Klien will continue to be Awards Committee Chair, even though he is rolling off as NC-213 Past Chair. Officer elections. Senay Simsek lead discussion on the Officer elections.

The NC-213 member organizations work focused on characterizing quality and safety of cereals, oilseeds and their processed products; developed measurement systems; developed management systems that maintain quality; and worked towards protecting food safety and security. The major accomplishments were the new NIR calibration and measurement methods for measuring and maintaining grains and their ingredient quality and safety, developed evaluation systems to assess postharvest losses and risk assessment systems to maintain food safety in supply chains, and trained industry workers on food and industrial safety. Short-term Outcomes: The new set of NIRS calibrations developed by NC-213 members, for corn and soybeans, are widely used by Foss Infratec line of analyzers. Advance forecasts of crop quality and storability conditions for soybean developed by the members were transferred to producers and the grain industry. A grain traceability system was developed to better manage production and marketing data. A new grain packing factor was developed and is in the process of adoption by the insurance companies. Grain handling and processing industry workers were trained on safety, better handling practices, and grain processing through short courses, workshops and distance education programs. Activities: Development of methods to assess quality and food safety: Near infrared (NIR) methods enable easy and quick quantification tools to measure the quality of grain and their ingredients. Calibrations are being developed to measure the processing characteristics of soybean and canola. Spectroscopic methods are being used to detect aflatoxin in grains and oilseeds. In addition, visible and NIR spectroscopy methods were developed to detect black tip infested wheat kernels. Scientists from NC-213 are also involved in developing hyperspectral imaging methods to measure fungal growth and aflatoxin in corn. Processing techniques: The processing quality of wheat and sorghum were studied for better product development. In specific, milling and breadmaking characteristics of hard spring wheat from diverse growing regions were studied. Grain quality that relates to whole wheat pasta quality was identified by testing using different milling techniques. Different sorghum lines were screened for grain composition to improve sorghum utilization. An alternative method to determine the volume of grain in a bin was also developed by NC-213 members. Quality and safety: Modified in-bin drying and storage methods for rice was evaluated for maintaining grain quality and prevention of mycotoxins. A LC-MS/MS method was developed to shorten the time of mycotoxin analysis. This method eliminated purification steps. In addition, an electrochemical immunosensor platform was developed for detecting mycotoxin contamination in grains. Non-thermal pre-milling interventions were evaluated to improve the microbial safety of wheat flour. Different techniques to reduce the mycotoxins in dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) was evaluated. A nanostructured alumina based particle was tested for efficacy against insect pest control in grain bins. Grain supply chain management: A grain traceability system that could be used by farmers was developed. This system could provide value-based and safety information to other participants in the supply chain, including consumers. A mechanistic model was developed to evaluate the spread of infestations and identify strategies that minimize the spread, in bucket elevator boots. Training and education: FDA inspectors were trained on grain handling and processing system to apply focused and targeted enforcement in farm-to-user supply chain. Grain handling and processing facility workers were trained in grain dust control. More than 3000 industry workers went through distance education courses offered by NC-213 members on grain handling and processing. Milestones: To develop an accurate method for mycotoxin measurement by 2015 To identify processing quality of grains that could be easily measured by non-destructive techniques To develop a supply chain management system to for better food traceability and safety Continue train industry workers on better grain handling and processing methods.
