Abstract excerpt
An important determinative of malt quality is the malt beta-glucan content, which in turn depends on the initial barley beta-glucan content as well as the beta-glucan depolymerization by beta-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.73) during malting. Another enzyme, named beta-glucan solubilase, has been suggested to act prior to beta-glucanase; its existence, however, has not been unequivocally proven. We monitored changes in...
