Several of the rice quality parameters are nowadays determined manually or partly manually, which leads to subjective results. In order analyse and avoid most manual handling, PaddyCheck instrument was mainly developed measure paddy/rough kernels. However, design technique also suitable for brown The measures physical properties kernels as well texture translucency. Initial calibrations have been correlate these with Head Rice Yield Chalkiness, two common important rice.
