This study investigates the potential of Pythium oligandrum (strains M1 and 00X48) as a biocontrol agent in suppressing growth Fusarium culmorum production mycotoxins during malting naturally contaminated barley (Hordeum vulgare). The effects on F. culmorum-infected malt (BM) were evaluated through real-time PCR its impact mycotoxin was determined by quantitative analysis deoxynivalenol (DON) d...

Due to contamination of barley grains by Fusarium langsethiae, T-2 toxin can be present in the brewing process. It has been observed that the presence of the yeast Geotrichum candidum during malting can reduce the final concentration of this mycotoxin in beer. In this work, a co-culture method was carried out for both microorganisms in order to evaluate the effect on T-2 mycotoxin concentration...

Differentiating agricultural products has been adopted as a strategy to improve farm profitability and thereby business sustainability. This study aimed evaluate unique barley varieties for craft malting brewing markets enhance diversified grain growers in southwestern Washington. Advanced breeding lines from Washington State University (WSU) were compared control variety (CDC-Copeland) through...
