Abstract:
... Large A-type and small B-type starch granules separated from waxy and normal hull-less barley starches were investigated for their physicochemical properties. Hull-less barley starch granules were covered by a membrane composed mainly of phospholipids. Channels of waxy A- and B-type granules were rich in proteins and phospholipids. Compared with A-type starch, B-type starch exhibited higher specif ...

Abstract:
... The aim of this work is to evaluate the influence of laccase (LAC) on protein cross-linking and the in vitro starch digestion of black barley noodles (BHBN). In addition, the mechanisms underlying the impacts of protein cross-linking induced by LAC on the starch digestion were further elucidated. When the addition of LAC from 0% to 0.4%, in vitro starch digestion curves showed that the rate of in ...
... In malt barley improvement, lower values of beta-glucan in the wort is one of the most desirable criteria to get better quality of the end products. To estimate wort -glucan, the barley grains first need to be malted and then mashed to get wort, which is then used to measure beta-glucan in the wort. It takes a large quantity of grains, a lot of time and labour for the malting process and wort prep ...
... Due to its high nutritional and dietotherapy values, highland barley has attracted the attention and favor of people all over the world in recent years. It has been demonstrated that the nutritional components of highland barley are comprehensive and unique, with the characteristics of high protein, high fiber, high vitamin, low fat, low sugar and variety of bioactive components. As the most impor ...

Abstract:
... The effects of removing non-starch components on the surface microstructure, water migration and glucose diffusion rate of highland barley starch (HBS) were systematically studied to reveal the models that affect the digestibility of HBS. The results of scanning electron micrographs, confocal laser scanning microscopy, polarization cross and particle size distribution showed that there were two pa ...

Abstract:
... This paper applies the dynamic Diebold–Yilmaz and Baruník–Křehlík spillover indices to document a closer integration between agricultural commodity markets in the period when markets rebounded after the COVID-19 threat to the Russia–Ukraine war. We also identified the record return spillover transmission among agricultural commodities during a time of conflict and the strongest transmitters are w ...

... Barley malt is critical for the malting, brewing, and distilling industries, as it is one of the main ingredients of beer and some types of spirits. There is growing evidence that barley genotype - via malt - can impact the flavors of beers and spirits. However, information on the barley genes involved in these flavors is lacking. Therefore, we used quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping of malt q ...
barley, etc ; energy balance; evapotranspiration; hydrologic cycle; linear models; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... Evapotranspiration is a key variable of the water cycle. Its calculation requires several ground data that frequently are not available. This study contains a detailed method and measurements of meteorological and energy balance variables that can be used to estimate the daily actual evapotranspiration (ETa). A linear generalized model is obtained to calculate the ETa from common variables measure ...
barley, etc ; chromosome mapping; genetic recombination; genomics; genotyping by sequencing; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... As genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) is widely used in barley genetic studies, the translation of the physical position of GBS-derived SNPs into accurate genetic positions has become relevant. The main aim of this study was to develop a high-resolution consensus linkage map based on GBS-derived SNPs. The construction of this integrated map involved 11 bi-parental populations composed of 3743 segregat ...

Abstract:
... Spot blotch caused by Cochliobolus sativus has become an important disease in the wheat-growing regions in China that has resulted from changes in the regional climate, agricultural cultivation patterns, and the susceptible wheat varieties that are widely grown. Little information is available about virulence variability and pathogenic specialization of the C. sativus isolates from major wheat-gro ...
... The brown planthopper (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens), the small brown planthopper (SBPH, Laodelphax striatellus), and the white-backed planthopper (WBPH, Sogatella furcifera) are problematic insect pests and cause severe yield losses through phloem sap-sucking and virus transmission. Barley yellow striate mosaic virus (BYSMV), a plant cytorhabdovirus, has been developed as versatile expression platform ...
malting barley, etc ; beers; enzyme activity; ferulic acid; food chemistry; pH; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... This review provides an overview on the influence of malting and brewing on the overall phenolic content of barley malt and beer. Beer phenolics are mainly originated from barley malt and can be found in free and bound forms, in concentrations up to 50% lower comparing to sweet wort. The use of roasted malts, in combination with proper milling and high mashing temperatures at low pH can lead to a ...

Abstract:
... Malting and brewing have previously been demonstrated to be risky procedures in terms of mycotoxins contamination. The goal of the study was to describe the fate of less investigated Fusarium and Alternaria mycotoxins, together with their conjugates, during these processes. The Pilsner malt producing process, together with double-mash brewing, were performed in a pilot-scale malting and brewery pl ...
malting barley, etc ; beers; gelatinization; gravity; hydrocolloids; malt; maltose; mash; temperature; Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... The breakdown of starch into fermentable sugars is essential for several industrial processes, including beer production. Nowadays, high ratios of barley malt to water are used to improve brewhouse efficiency. Recent findings, however, indicate that small starch granules in barley malt could reduce starch conversion efficiency. In this study, the gelatinisation behaviour of small and large starch ...

Abstract:
... Shameta is a traditional, Ethiopian, cereal-based fermented porridge exclusively prepared for lactating mothers. The aim of this study was to determine the microbial quality of Shameta samples collected from households of lactating mothers and to determine microbial dynamics and physicochemical changes during laboratory fermentation of Shameta. Isolation and characterization of the dominant microb ...

Abstract:
... In this study, addition of asparaginase and glycine were tested for mitigation of acrylamide in roasted malt. Free asparagine and reducing sugars increased during germination of barley. Increasing the roasting temperature increased rate of acrylamide formation and browning in malt. Application of asparaginase (3000 and 4000 ASNU/kg) and glycine (3000, 4000 and 5000 ppm) on green malt before kilnin ...

Abstract:
... KEY MESSAGE: Variety age and population structure detect novel QTL for yield and adaptation in wheat and barley without the need to phenotype. The process of crop breeding over the last century has delivered new varieties with increased genetic gains, resulting in higher crop performance and yield. However, in many cases, the alleles and genomic regions underpinning this success remain unknown. Th ...

Abstract:
... Plant melanin is a dark polymerized polyphenolic substance that can by synthesized in seed tissues. Unlike well-defined enzymatic browning reaction leading to melanin synthesis in senescent and damaged plant tissues, melanin formation in intact tissues was not studied properly. Recently, melanin synthesis was demonstrated in chloroplast-derived melanoplasts in pericarp and husk cells of barley see ...

Abstract:
... The precision-fed rooster assay has been used extensively to determine nitrogen-corrected true metabolizable energy (TMEₙ) of feed ingredients for poultry. However, this assay has not generally been used to evaluate effects of supplemental enzymes for this purpose. Therefore, 2 precision-fed rooster assays were conducted to evaluate several different carbohydrase enzymes on TMEₙ for a corn/soybean ...
