Identifying and overcoming challenges in scaling up malted rice for commercial malting and brewing
A pilot-scale follow-up to the team's earlier rice malting study, scaling malting from lab batches to ~150 kg pilot production across two malthouses and six breweries, with kernel length and width measured on a Vibe QM3 grain analyzer.

Understanding demand for broken rice and its potential food security implications in Colombia
Rice samples purchased by consumers in Colombia were processed with a Vibe QM3 Rice Analyzer to measure broken percentage, chalk percentage, length, and width, linking milled-rice quality to consumer demand and food security implications.

Investigating the Malting Suitability and Brewing Quality of Different Rice Cultivars
A brewing-focused evaluation of rice cultivars for malting, linking cultivar-dependent differences in wort/beer quality metrics to grain and processing characteristics.

Are Rice Markets in Bangladesh Efficiently Pricing Rice Based on Quality? An Empirical Assessment
A Master's thesis assessing whether Bangladeshi rice markets efficiently price rice by quality, using a Vibe QM3 Rice Analyzer to objectively measure broken percentage, chalk percentage, color, size, and homogeneity across retail rice samples.

Rice quality and its impacts on food security and sustainability in Bangladesh
Rice samples from Dhaka retail markets were assessed with a Vibe QM3 Rice Analyzer for broken percentage, chalk percentage, color, length, width, and homogeneity, feeding a hedonic price model of how rice quality affects market pricing and food security in Bangladesh.
