Abstract
A system with a first analytical testing device configured collect a first and second signal associated with a characteristic parameter of a sample material, wherein the characteristic parameter is capable of enabling evaluation of ethanol production yield for plant material corresponding to the sample material. A drying unit is configured to drive the sample material to a substantially standard moisture level. A fermentation unit is configured to ferment the sample material. A second analytical testing device is configured to collect a reference measurement associated with the characteristic parameter. The reference measurement is capable of being correlated to the first and second signals for building a calibration model used to evaluate ethanol production yield of plant material corresponding in composition to the sample material. Associated methods are also provided.
