Scientific Digest

Relationship Between Grain Hardness and Malting Quality of Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)

V. Psota, K. Vejražka, O. Famera and M. Hrcka

Abstract

J. Inst. Brew. 113(1), 80–86, 2007 In a three-year period, protein content, polysaccharides and values of the selected malting parameters were determined in 12 varieties of barley. Hardness was assessed using the particle size index (PSI) and a Do-Corder apparatus (BRA). Significant differences in the levels of hardness between the varieties were detected. Hardness was affected by variety from 37% (PSI) and 71% (BRA). Significant correlations were determined between the PSI and extract content (0.64***), Kolbach index (0.66***), friability (0.57***), beta-glucans in wort (–0.51***) and colour of malt (0.57***). Significant correlations were found between BRA and content of non-starch polysaccharides in caryopses (0.64***), extract (–0.62***), Kolbach index (–0.70***), friability (–0.70***), beta-glucans in wort (0.79***) and wort colour (–0.56***). Correlation was determined between hardness and malting quality index (PSI 0.51***, BRA –0.71***). Key words: Barley, beta-glucans, Brabender, hardness, PSI, quality.
