Barley News

0 USA: Scientists discovered heat tolerant barley enzymes which result in more fermentable product for brewing beer

US scientists have discovered heat tolerant barley enzymes, which could make malting more efficient for beer, Food Navigator said September 09.

The three new barley enzymes can yield up to 30 percent more sugar than enzymes found in conventional barley lines, said the scientists from the US Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (USDA ARS).

The enzymes are said to perform exceptionally well at temperatures of 70 degrees Celsius, or 160 degrees Fahrenheit, and because they produce more sugar, they result in more fermentable product for brewing beer.

Before brewing can begin, barley kernels must be 'malted', explained the ARS. Malting begins with steeping the kernels in water until the seeds begin to sprout, or germinate. This process helps cue production of enzymes that are crucial for turning starch into sugar. In nature, the young seed needs this sugar for energy to grow. In malting, brewers need it for fermentation.

But this manipulated growth spurt must be carefully controlled. About the time rootlets can be seen sprouting from the seeds, the kernels are blown dry in a 120 degrees Fahrenheit kiln to halt any further maturing in the seed. Soon after, the barley kernels are thrust into the heat again, where ...

Scientific Digest
Quality Risks Associated with the Utilization of Fusarium Head Blight Infected Malting Barley P. B. Schwarz and R. D. Horsley, Department of Plant Sciences, North Dakota State University, Fargo 58015; B. J. Steffenson and B. Salas, Department of Plant Pathology, University of Minnesota, St. Paul 55108; and J. M. Barr, Department of Plant Sciences, North Dakota State University, Fargo 58015

ABSTRACT
Fusarium head blight (FHB) has adversely affected the quality of bar-ley grown in the northern Great Plains of the United States and the east-ern Prairie Provinces of Canada since 1993. Objectives of this study were to document the occurrence of deoxynivalenol (DON) on barley within North Dakota and Minnesota, investigate relationships among FHB, DON, and malt quality, and to determine at what level FHB/DON-con-taminated barley can be safely utilized for the production of quality malt. Since 1993, mean DON levels have ranged from 10.3 to 0.4 µg/g, with a corresponding 81 to 32% of the regional barley crop in excess of 0.5 µg/g. Strong relationships were not observed between either kernel size or kernel weight and DON. As a consequence, cleaning is unlikely to achieve significant reductions in DON levels in most cases. In terms of barley and malt quality, the strongest relationships were observed be-tween barley DON and malt DON and malt DON and wort color. How-ever, malt DON levels could not be reliably predicted from barley at <1.0 µg/g. Barley with a DON level of <1.0 µg/g produced acceptable malt.
