Barley malt is critical for the malting, brewing, and distilling industries, as it one of main ingredients beer some types spirits. There growing evidence that barley genotype - via can impact flavors beers However, information on genes involved in these lacking. Therefore, we used quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping quality traits, sensory descriptors metabolic compounds a biparental popula...

A comparative chromatography of polyphenoloxidase isolated from barley, steeped barley, and green malt was made. It consisted ofextraction, precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration, and electrofocusing. Polyphenoloxidase was resolved into a high-molecularweight enzyme and a low-molecular-weight one. The proportion of the two enzymes underwent variations during malting. An incr...

MetaBrew is a manually curated and comprehensive repository of high quality analysis data concerning kernel, malting and brewing quality of barley cultivars. This includes meta information about the genotypic and phenotypic background (pedigree, row number, seasonal habit, environment, experiment sources). Exploration and export of the information is supported by a web application. MetaBrew is ...

Brewing beer involves microbial activity at every stage, from raw material production and malting to stability in the package. Most of these activities are desirable, as beer is the result of a traditional food fermentation, but others represent threats to the quality of the final product and must be controlled actively through careful management, the daily task of maltsters and brewers globall...
