Influence of Malting on Sorghum Protein Quality

Statical Planning of Colombia’s Transmission System Using Genetics Algorithm

This paper presents a genetic algorithm for solving the optimal transmission network applied to the expansion planning of Colombia’s system. Main improvements have been introduced in the genetic algorithm: initial population is obtained by constructive heuristic methods of optimization, and elitism and building block concepts are used in the optimization process. An important part of this optim...

The microbiology of malting and brewing.

Brewing beer involves microbial activity at every stage, from raw material production and malting to stability in the package. Most of these activities are desirable, as beer is the result of a traditional food fermentation, but others represent threats to the quality of the final product and must be controlled actively through careful management, the daily task of maltsters and brewers globall...

Simulation of yield and quality of malting barley

A computer simulation model was developed to determine the likely response of grain yield and quality of malting barley crops to differing availability of water or nitrogen (N) and differing soil and climatic conditions. The model was validated for New Zealand conditions by comparing the results of model simulations with data from malting barley crops grown in the Manawatu. Simulations were the...

Optimization of Enzymatic Activities in Malting of Oat

Malting is usually carried out on intact barley seed, while hull is still attached to it. In this study, oat grain with and without hull was subjected to controlled germination to optimize its enzymes activity, in such a way that lipase has the lowest and αamylase and proteinase the highest activities. Since pH has a great impact on the activity of the enzymes, the pH of germination media was s...
