Optimiranje postupka namakanja i klijanja golozrnog ječma

The aim of this research was to determine the optimal soaking and germination of grains scheme in which the most favourable values of the influence of cited process factors on the success of cytolytic degradation of the grain were obtained. To evaluate the success of each process to meet the set goal, three different soaking and germination procedures have been conducted (considering the length of time, temperature and aeration at different stages of the procedure). The swelling capacity of each variety (Osvit and Mandatar) was determined and finished malts were analysed. It has been established that soaking temperature has significant impact to the swelling power of bare barley by increasing swelling power and speeds up the maximum of increasing the water content of the grain. Increasing the soaking temperature leads to an increase in the content of the extract, extract differences and the pH value of the congress mash. With increasing soaking temperature the viscosity of the mash decreases and as it continues to grow, it grows to unacceptable values what is resulted by initial action of the β-glucanase complex and starch dissolution. The best results for the indicators of the success of cytolytic degradation was given by malting procedure 1. The Osvit variety gives malts better properties than the Mandatar variety by all three malting procedures.
