The aim of this study was to measure length, width, thickness, kernel density, bulk density, porosity, total nitrogen, reducing sugar, diastatic activity, pH and color changes during malting process. Results showed that width, thickness, reducing sugar and diastatic activity of the samples increased over the malting time, whereas kernel density, bulk density and total nitrogen decreased (P %> http://jstnar.iut.ac.ir/article-1-1001-en.pdf %P 219-229 %& 219 %! %9 Research %L A-10-358-1 %+ %G eng %@ 2476-3594 %[ 2009
