The OPTIMALT project aims at developing a rapid and reliable on-line tool for assessing the malting quality of barley using automated optical analysis to overcome the limitations of current technologies.
It will contribute to improving the quality from seed to glass, thereby boosting the competitiveness of the European brewing sector, as well as the malting barley supply chain.
