RT - Journal Article T1 - Effect of Malting Process on Physicochemical Properties of Two Varieties of Barley (Sahra and Dasht) JF - JSTNAR YR - 2009 JO - JSTNAR VO - 13 IS - 48 UR - http://jstnar.iut.ac.ir/article-1-1001-en.html SP - 219 EP - 229 K1 - Barley K1 - Malt K1 - Endosperm modification K1 - Total nitrogen K1 - Physical properties K1 - Chemical properties AB - Since malting process of barley is greatly affected by the seed endosperm structure, getting information about its anatomical characteristics along with physico-chemical properties would be very important. 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 LA eng UL http://jstnar.iut.ac.ir/article-1-1001-en.html M3 ER -
