Abstract

Similar basal levels of β-D-glucans were released into worts produced at 45°C from enzymically active or inactivated flours of milled malts. In contrast, significantly higher levels of β-D-glucans were found in worts derived from either enzymically active or inactivated malt flours mashed at 65°C. In general, mashing temperature may play a more important role in releasing β-D-glucans during mashing than enzymes described as β-glucan-releasing. In this context, the physical release of β-D-glucan during mashing should be separated from the enzymic release and degradation of β-D-glucan which occur during malting.
