Project overview

Evaluating the quality of wheat grains is a complex challenge, particularly as agriculture faces growing constraints from climate change while striving to meet consumer demands for more nutritious and healthier food.

EVAGRAIN aims to develop intelligent tools to enable the flexible use of wheat. Funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR) and coordinated by the INRAE research unit BIA, the project brings together 10 academic and private partners.

The primary goal of EVAGRAIN is to design a Decision Support System (DSS) capable of providing a comprehensive assessment of wheat quality. While the system will primarily focus on bread-making, it will also address a range of other industrial applications. This assessment will rely on analytical data supplied by users and leverage scientific and technological expertise from the cereal sector.

A secondary objective is to develop innovative analytical tests, potentially in real time, to enhance responsiveness. These tests will improve the evaluation of wheat quality by incorporating non-protein components such as lipids, pentosans, and water into the diagnostic criteria.

Finally, the project seeks to facilitate the transfer of knowledge from cereal science and technology to economic stakeholders in the cereal sector.
