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.
