A SIMPLE DIAMYLASE PROCEDURE FOR THE ESTIMATION OF α‐AMYLASE AND DIASTATIC ACTIVITY
- O. U. Etokakpan, G. H. Palmer
- Chemistry
- 4 March 1990
Mercuric chloride was used to selectively inhibit the sulphydryl function of β-amylase, enabling the dextrinizing activities of α-amylase and the Diastatic Power (total reducing power activity) to be… Expand
The effect of temperature on the modification of sorghum and barley during malting
- R. C. Agu, G. H. Palmer
- Chemistry
- 1 August 1997
Abstract Comparative studies of germinated sorghum and barley revealed that both cereals developed similar levels of hydrolytic enzymes especially when assessed as total amylolytic activity… Expand
Quality Assessment of Different Sorghum Varieties for Their Brewing Potential
- E. O. Ogu, F. Odibo, R. C. Agu, G. H. Palmer
- Chemistry
- 2006
Four sorghum varieties (SK 5912, KSV 4, KSV 8, ICSV 400) were malted and extracted under similar conditions to assess their quality for brewing. The results showed that, in general, the sorghum… Expand
HOMOGENEITY OF THE FRIABLE FLOUR OF MALTING BARLEY
- H. F. Darlington, G. H. Palmer
- Chemistry
- 6 May 1996
A detailed comparison was made of the properties of the friable flours and non-friable residues of two samples of malted barley of different nitrogen contents. The friable flours were sieved and… Expand
The sorghum embryo in relation to the hydrolysis of the endosperm during germination and seedling growth
- A. O. Aisien, G. H. Palmer
- Biology
- 1 February 1983
Time-course changes in the structural and physiological properties of sorghum grain embryo have been investigated in relation to the hydrolysis of the endosperm during germination and seedling… Expand
THE ACTION OF ENDO-β-1,3-GLUCANASES ON BARLEY AND MALT β-GLUCANS
- G. N. Bathgate, G. H. Palmer, G. Wilson
- Chemistry
- 6 May 1974
The β-glucan extracted from ungerminated barley with water at 40 °C has a much lower specific viscosity than the corresponding material isolated from a wort prepared at 65 °C from a two-day… Expand
THE EMBRYO OF BARLEY IN RELATION TO MODIFICATION OF THE ENDOSPERM
- A. M. Macleod, G. H. Palmer
- Biology
- 12 November 1966
Differential dissection of the embryo of barley grains, followed by observation of the extent of modification and assessment of α-amylase production in the endosperm, has shown that the various… Expand
The Effect of Nitrogen Level on the Performance of Malting Barley Varieties during Germination
- R. C. Agu, G. H. Palmer
- Biology
- 2001
The malting characteristics of high and low nitrogen barleys were compared. Results confirmed that low nitrogen facilitates malting rate and extract development. Modification rate was not related to… Expand
A Reassessment of the Chemical Structure of Barley and Wheat Starch Granules
- G. N. Bathgate, G. H. Palmer
- Chemistry
- 1972
Barley starch exists in two clearly defined populations of large (ca. 25 μ diameter) and small (ca. 5, μ diameter) granules, whilst in wheat there is a range of granule sizes with no similar bimodal… Expand
Influence of corn size distribution on the diastatic power of malted barley and its impact on other malt quality parameters.
- R. C. Agu, J. Brosnan, T. Bringhurst, G. H. Palmer, F. Jack
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Journal of agricultural and food chemistry
- 30 March 2007
Detailed studies were carried out on the influence of corn size distribution on the values obtained for diastatic power (DP) of commercially malted barley. Malted barley was screened using a… Expand
