Makoto Kanauchi and Charles W Bamforth
 
  Abstract: beta-Glucosidase and to a lesser extent endo-beta1-4-glucanase are present in significant quantity in raw barley. These enzymes, as well as endo-beta1-3, 1-4-glucanase, endo-beta1-3-glucanase and exo- beta1-3-glucanase, increase in activity during steeping and germination. Exo-beta1-3-glucanase stands apart through its very late development during germination and it may be a limiting enzyme in malts that have not received substantial modification. Three separate exo-glucanases were located in malt and each of them displayed a preference for beta1-3 linkages. As the principle product of endo-beta1-3, 1-4-glucanase is oligosaccharides with a beta1-4 linkage at the non-reducing end (from which end exo enzymes approach the substrate), this is likely to be a second reason (alongside the late development of the enzyme) why such oligosaccharides survive in significant quantities into wort. A third contributing factor may be the sensitivity of the exoglucanasesto ions such as potassium, sodium and magnesium.
Key words: Barley, endo, exo, glucanase.
