👉 Grain engineering is a specialized field that focuses on the manipulation and optimization of the physical, chemical, and biological properties of grains to enhance their performance, quality, and functionality for various applications. This involves techniques such as altering grain size, shape, and structure, modifying the distribution of starch, protein, and fiber, and improving resistance to pests, diseases, and environmental stresses. By tailoring these attributes, grain engineers aim to produce grains that are more nutritious, have better shelf life, and offer improved functional properties for use in food, feed, bioenergy, and other industries. The goal is to meet the evolving demands of consumers and industries while ensuring sustainability and efficiency in grain production and processing.
