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.

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-grain 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-grain 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.

Effect of Rice Cultivar, Type, Form, and Moisture Content on the Angle of Repose

A Vibe QM3 Rice Analyzer measured the length and width of broken-rice kernels across cultivars, forms, and moisture contents, supporting a study of how those factors affect the angle of repose used in bulk grain storage and handling design.
