Comprehensive 32-lesson, 8-week online course for grain, dairy, feed, and food science professionals. Vendor-neutral. $99 early access. Self-paced with 24/7 AI assistant.
Learn to use NIR for real-time protein, moisture, and starch measurement at the grain elevator scale. Master receiving operations, rapid quality control, and calibration development for corn, wheat, soybean, and barley. The intake module works through the exact pricing-discount scenarios an elevator operator faces when a truckload comes in near a protein threshold.
Apply NIR for compositional analysis of grains, dairy, meat, and processed foods. Learn rapid testing methods for protein, moisture, fat, and fiber without chemical reagents. You'll also learn where NIR reaches its limits — when a result needs a Kjeldahl or Soxhlet cross-check instead of being trusted outright.
Build accurate NIR calibrations for milk powder, soy meal, and vegetable oils. Learn fat, protein, and moisture measurement techniques for dairy and oilseed processing facilities. The oilseed module covers why crushed-meal calibrations drift between growing seasons and how to catch it before a batch ships out of spec.
32 lessons across 8 weeks. 24–32 hours total. 8 weekly quizzes plus final exam. Reference guides, calculators, Excel templates, and lesson handouts included. AI teaching assistant available 24/7. Every lesson stays available after you finish — most students come back to specific modules when they hit a real calibration problem months later.
