Acceleration in germination time by 12–24 h for barley seeds treated with atmospheric air plasmas may have a significant economic impact on malting processes. In this study, the increase rate and decrease contamination level upon plasma treatment could not be directly correlated any water uptake capacity, except exposed to mild drying treatment. A variety of essays been carried out impregnated ...

can be divided into three groups, which correspond to fractions separated by gel chromatography having mol.wts. of 15 000, 60000 and 100000. The activity of proteolytic enzymes in barley and malt was historically measured with protein substrates such as haemoglobin, casein, gliadin, gelatin or with synthetic substrates including N-substituted peptides. Since proteolytic activity is influenced b...

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an annual cereal crop that belongs to the grass family Poaceae of tribe Triticeae. Due establishment and production capacity malt beer factories in Ethiopia, barley demand increased from time time. Eight released varieties were evaluated four environments Wag-himra Lasta districts main season for two years (2016 2017). The objective trial was identify a high yield...

Gushing of beer is characterised by the fact that immediately after opening a bottle a great number of fine bubbles are created throughout the volume of beer and ascend quickly under foam formation, which flows out of the bottle. This infuriating gushing phenomenon has been, and still is, a problem of world-wide importance to the brewing industry. It is generally assumed that the causes of malt...

Carbonyl sulfide (COS) is a potential new fumigant for stored products, patented worldwide by CSIRO Australia. It may replace methyl bromide for many applications on durable commodities and be used as an alternative to phosphine when there is a significant problem with insect resistance. Laboratory and field studies have shown that COS is effective on a wide range of pests at all life stages, a...

malting is a complex biotechnological process that includes steeping; germination and drying of cereal grains under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity. in this research malting process parameters were predict by modular neural network with different activation function included, logsig-logsig, tanh-tanh, logsigtanh, logsig-identity and tanh-identity. steeping time (x1) and germin...
