METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SORTING SEEDS

The present invention relates to a method for categorizing/sorting seeds, the method comprising the steps of: providing (S11) a sample including at least one seed; obtaining (S12) a near infrared, NIR, spectrum of at least a subset of the sample; determining (S14) presence of an organic colorant in...

Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to a method for categorizing/sorting seeds, the method comprising the steps of: providing (S11) a sample including at least one seed; obtaining (S12) a near infrared, NIR, spectrum of at least a subset of the sample; determining (S14) presence of an organic colorant in at least the subset of the sample based on the obtained NIR spectrum; and categorizing/sorting (S19) at least the subset of the sample based on the determination. Based on this, mis-colored white seed and blue seed with a fading blue color can be properly categorized. Further, it is also possible to distinguish between single blue and double blue seed.
