A Model for Predicting and Grading the Quality of Grain Storage Processes Affected by Microorganisms under Different Environments

Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2023 Feb 25;20(5):4120. doi: 10.3390/ijerph20054120.

Abstract

Changes in storage environments have a significant impact on grain quality. Accurate prediction of any quality changes during grain storage in different environments is very important for human health. In this paper, we selected wheat and corn, which are among the three major staple grains, as the target grains whose storage monitoring data cover more than 20 regions, and constructed a grain storage process quality change prediction model, which includes a FEDformer-based grain storage process quality change prediction model and a K-means++-based grain storage process quality change grading evaluation model. We select six factors affecting grain quality as input to achieve effective prediction of grain quality. Then, evaluation indexes were defined in this study, and a grading evaluation model of grain storage process quality was constructed using clustering model with the index prediction results and current values. The experimental results showed that the grain storage process quality change prediction model had the highest prediction accuracy and the lowest prediction error compared with other models.
