Unsound kernels
Kernels that are damaged but still have use value include the following: 3.2.1
Spotted kernels
Kernels with spots on the surface, which damage the embryo or endosperm. 3.2.2
Injured kernels
Kernels that are damaged by insects, which damage the embryo or endosperm. GB/T8231-—2007
Broken kernels
Kernels with damage to the embryo or endosperm. 3.2.4
