Rapid quality assessment of malting barley
Innovative technology | Regular quality control of germination parameters in malting barley is essential for successful malting. A newly developed fast, simple and sound method can predict key traits of seed quality – germination capacity, germination energy, water sensitivity, and germination index. Based on a single test, all relevant germination parameters can be predicted using AI, thereby overcoming the well-known challenges associated with conventional barley testing — such as lengthy procedures, significant investment, and labor-intensive tasks.
