Abstract
Storage proteins from barley, wheat and rye are toxic to gluten sensitive consumers. These consumers include those suffering from coeliac disease, which account for up to 1% of the global population, and non-coeliac gluten sensitivity that may affect even greater numbers of the population. Codex Alimentarius has published guidelines and limits of gluten in gluten-free foods, which are applied in Europe, and similar guidelines apply in the rest of the world. The storage proteins present in barley are hordeins. These proteins are broken down and used by the plant as a source of amino acids during germination and growth of the barley embryo. The objective of this study was to extend the germination stage of the malting process and look at the effect on beer hordeins. Standard MEBAK methods were used to develop an extended malting process and produce three different malts, germinated for 3, 5 or 7 days. The quality of malt was assessed and model beers were produced from each malt to test the effect of modification on levels of beer hordeins. Malt germinated for 7days produced beer 18 mg/kg hordeins corresponding to a reduction of 44% compared with the beer made from malt germinated for 3 days characterized by a hordein content equal to 32 mg/kg. The malting loss was increased during the 7 days of germination but otherwise all malts were of high quality. The results showed that malting conditions have a significant impact on beer hordeins.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
