Differences in extractable b-amylase (1,4-a-D-glucan maltohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.2) activities exist between enzymes from malt and feed barleys (Hordeum vulgare L.). Others have documented few differences in the b-amylase (bmy1) gene coding regions and large differences in the non-coding regions of genomic DNA for endosperm specific b-amylases from malt and feed barleys. Researchers correlated dif...

J. Inst. Brew. 113(2), 147–153, 2007 Fungal hydrophobins have been shown to induce gushing of beer. In order to study the occurrence and fate of hydrophobins at different stages of the production chain of beer, barley samples artificially infected in the field with Fusarium culmorum, F. graminearum and F. poae were collected during the growing period as well as during various stages of the malt...

With the goal of introducing specialty beers with full flavor and effective processing, craft functional beer have revived old assortments established new in countries throughout world. These unique selections are produced utilizing various ingredient combinations or changes to brewing process. Given rise celiac disease sufferers recent years, research investigations on use buckwheat brewing, p...

Access to livestock manure is increasing in semi-arid cropping systems of U.S. Northwest prompting evaluation fertilization strategies on regional production systems. A study conducted from fall 2012 2019 used: fall- or spring-applied dairy (56 Mg ha−1), fall-applied composted (33 urea SUPERU (Koch Agronomic Services), and a control (n = 6) corn (Zea mays L.)–barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)–alfalfa...

The genome of retroviruses, including human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), consists of two identical RNA strands that are packaged as noncovalently linked dimers. The core packaging and dimerization signals are located in the downstream part of the untranslated leader of HIV-1 RNA-the Psi and the dimerization initiation site (DIS) hairpins. The HIV-1 leader can adopt two alternative con...

Although sorghum is widely cultivated in Africa, its utilisation for the production of lager type beer by breweries relatively limited. Sorghum used unmalted as a brewing adjunct, limited quantities, with barley and commercial exogenous enzymes production. The use malt sole raw material beers generally because low diastatic power high tannin content among other factors. objective this study to ...

Barley is the cornerstone of the malting and brewing industry. It is known that 250 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) of the grain are associated with 19 malting-quality phenotypes. However, only a few of the contributing genetic components have been identified. One of these, on chromosome 4H, contains a major malting QTL, QTL2, located near the telomeric region that accounts, respectively, for 28...

since the dawn of time. In fact they are vitally important to the existence of life itself. Civilizations have used enzymes for thousands of years without understanding what they were or how they work. The modern history of enzymes dates back to 1833 when, in the journal Annales de Chemie et de Physique, the French chemists Anselme Payen and Jean-Franois Persoz described the isolation of an amy...
