Kernel hardness is not a well‐characterized food quality trait in barley. Unlike wheat, not much is known about the effect of barley kernel hardness on food processing. Ten barley genotypes differing in single kernel characterization system hardness index (SKCS‐HI) (30.1–91.2) of dehulled kernels were used to determine the association of barley HI with other physical grain traits and food processing parameters. Thousand kernel weight (TKW) values of 10 genotypes were 29.7–38.1 g. Values for bulk density of grains were 721.1–758.9 kg/m3. Crease width and depth values were 0.9–1.3 mm and 0.4–0.7 mm, respectively. Barley HI showed no significant association with TKW, bulk density, or kernel crease dimensions. Kernel loss due to pearling after 325 sec of abrasion was 28.8–38.4% and showed significant negative correlation with HI (r = –0.87, P < 0.01). Proportion of barley flour particles >106 μm had values of 34.5–42.0%, and starch damage values were 1.8–4.5% among those 10 barley genotypes. HI showed significant positive correlations with both proportion of barley flour particles >106 μm (r = 0.93, P < 0.01) and starch damage (r = 0.93, P < 0.01). Water imbibition of barley kernels and cooked kernel hardness did not show significant correlation with HI.  相似文献

Nine hull‐less barley (HB) containing waxy (0–7% amylose), normal (≈25% amylose), or high amylose (≈42% amylose) starch with normal or fractured granule make‐up and 4–9% (1→3)(1→4)‐β‐d ‐glucans (β‐glucan) were pearled to remove 70% of the original grain weight in 10% intervals. The pearled fractions were analyzed for β‐glucan distribution within HB grain. Protein content of the pearled fractions indicated that the three outermost fractions contained pericarp and testa, aleurone, and subaleurone tissues, respectively. For all HB, β‐glucan and acid‐extract viscosity were very low in the outermost 20% of the kernel. For low β‐glucan HB, β‐glucan content was the greatest in the subaleurone region and declined slightly toward inner layers. For high β‐glucan HB, however, more than 80% of grain β‐glucan was distributed more evenly throughout the endosperm. Acid extract viscosity was significantly (P < 0.01) correlated with total (r = 0.75) and soluble (r = 0.87) β‐glucan content throughout the kernel of all HB. Growing conditions, location and year, had significant effects on the concentration of protein, starch and β‐glucan. However, protein, starch, and β‐glucan distribution patterns were not affected by growing conditions. The difference in β‐glucan distribution between low and high β‐glucan HB may explain the difference in milling performance of HB with low or high β‐glucan.  相似文献

Three hull‐less barley genotypes containing starches with variable amylose content (23.8% normal, 4.3% waxy, 41.8% high‐amylose barley) were pearled to 10% and then roller‐milled to produce pearling by‐products (PBP), flour, and fiber‐rich fractions (FRF). PBP were enriched in arabinoxylans, protein, and ash and contained small amounts of starch and β‐glucans. FRF were considerably enriched in β‐glucans and arabinoxylans. The solubility of β‐glucans was higher in PBP than in FRF. The solubility of arabinoxylans was higher in FRF than in PBP. Small amounts of arabinogalactans detected in barley were concentrated in the outer portion of the barley kernel. The content and solubility of nonstarch polysaccharides (NSP) in various milling fractions was also dependent on the type of barley. To obtain more detailed information about the content and molecular structure of NSP, each milling fraction was sequentially extracted with water, alkaline [Ba(OH)2], again with water, and finally with NaOH. These extractions resulted in four sub‐fractions: WE, Ba(OH)2, Ba(OH)2/H2O, and NaOH. β‐Glucans and arabinoxylans exhibited structural heterogeneity derived from differences in their location within the kernel as well as from the genetic origin of barley. The WE arabinoxylans from FRF and flour had a substantially lower degree of branching than those from PBP. The WE arabinoxylans from FRF of high‐amylose and normal barley contained more unsubstituted Xylp residues but fewer doubly‐substituted and singly‐substituted Xylp at O‐2 than their counterparts from PBP. The WE arabinoxylans from FRF of waxy barley had a relatively high content of doubly‐substituted, but very few singly‐substituted Xylp residues. In all three barley genotypes, the ratio of tri‐ to tetrasaccharides in β‐glucans from PBP was higher than from flour and FRF. Substantial differences in the molecular weight of NSP in different milling fractions were also observed.  相似文献

Films for potential food use were prepared from aqueous solutions of β‐glucan extracted from hulled barley, hull‐less barley, and oats. The extracts (75.2–79.3% β‐glucan) also contained proteins, fat, and ash. Glycerol was used as a plasticizer. The films were translucent, smooth, and homogeneous in structure on both sides. Water vapor permeability of films prepared from 4% solutions of β‐glucan extracts were higher than those from 2% solutions, despite similar values for water vapor transmission rate. Mechanical properties were influenced by both β‐glucan source and concentration. The oat β‐glucan films showed higher tensile strength and water solubility, and lower color, opacity, and deformation values than those of barley. Films prepared from hull‐less barley cv. HLB233 remained intact upon immersion in water for 24 hr.  相似文献

The Perten Single Kernel Characterization system is the current reference method for determination of single wheat kernel texture. However, the SKCS 4100 calibration method is based on bulk samples. The objective of this research was to develop a single-kernel hardness reference based on single-kernel particle-size distributions (PSD). A total of 473 kernels, drawn from eight different classes, was studied. Material from single kernels that had been crushed on the SKCS 4100 system was collected, milled, then the PSD of each ground single kernel was measured. Wheat kernels from soft and hard classes with similar SKCS hardness indices (HI 40–60) typically had a PSD that was expected from their genetic class. That is, soft kernels tended to have more particles at <21 μm than hard kernels after milling. As such, a combination of HI and PSD gives better discrimination between genetically hard and soft classes than either parameter measured independently. Additionally, the use of SKCS-predicted PSD, combined with other low level SKCS parameters, appears to reduce classification errors into genetic hardness classes by ≈50% over what is currently accomplished with HI alone.  相似文献

Abrasion techniques were used to remove the hull and pericarp layers of barley kernels to obtain a smaller kernel enriched in endosperm. The objective of this study was to evaluate the fractions produced by two alternative abrading systems on four barley cultivars for potential use in fuel ethanol processes that feature an upstream (of the fermentation) dry fractionation system. Four barley cultivars, two hulled (Thoroughbred and Nomini) and two hulless (Doyce and Merlin), were scarified and whitened at 22 scarification times and three milling degrees (settings 2, 4, and 6), respectively. Three different abrasive surfaces (36, 40, and 50 grit) were used in the scarifier to determine the material removal ratio for each barley cultivar. Material balances and color analyses were conducted for all of the fractions produced. Three fractions were produced with the whitener at each milling degree: broken kernels, fine fractions >323 μm, and fine fractions <323 μm. Setting #2 seems to be the milling level that releases most of the hull in the hulled barley with the whitener. After 50 sec of scarification, rougher surfaces produced more fine material (<1,410 μm diameter) and consequently less coarse material (>1,410 μm diameter). A lower grit (36 grit) abrasive surface induced faster hull removal in hulled barley. Color parameters L* and b* were good indicators of the fine and coarse fractions produced by abrasive methods because they indicate the kernel layer removed and were modeled as a function of the fraction of the material produced. The information obtained in this study has application in designing processes capable of removing and recovering hull and pericarp layers of barley kernels and thereby producing smaller kernels or kernel pieces containing mainly endosperm tissue.  相似文献

Kernel texture in wheat (Triticum sp.) is central to end‐use quality and utilization. Here we report the discovery of a novel soft kernel trait in soft white winter wheat (T. aestivum L.). Two heritable kernel phenotypes were selected among F3‐derived sibs, hereafter designated “normal soft” (wild‐type) and “super soft.” Normal soft lines exhibited single kernel characterization system (SKCS) hardness index (HI) values typical of soft wheat (HI ≈ 20), whereas the super soft lines were unusually soft (HI ≈ 5). Under some environments, individual super soft lines exhibited HI values as low as HI = –4. The super soft trait was manifested in reduced SKCS kernel texture and higher break flour yields, with some increase in sodium carbonate SRC (solvent retention capacity) values and sponge cake volumes. Straight‐grade flour yield, flour ash, milling score, and cookie diameter were largely unaffected. With the possible exception of the sodium carbonate SRC values, we observed no indication that the super soft trait conferred any negative aspects to commercial soft wheat quality. As such, the super soft trait may provide wheat breeders with new opportunities to modify the end‐use quality of wheat.  相似文献

Recovering starch from barley is problematic typically due to interference from β‐glucan (the soluble fiber component), which becomes highly viscous in aqueous solution. Dry fractionation techniques tend to be inefficient and often result in low yields. Recently, a protocol was developed in our laboratory for recovering β‐glucan from barley in which sieving whole barley flour in a semiaqueous (50% ethanol) medium allowed separation of the starch and fiber fractions without activating the viscosity of the β‐glucan. In this report, we investigate an aqueous method which further purifies the crude starch component recovered from this process. Six hulless barley (HB) cultivars representing two each of waxy, regular, and high‐amylose cultivars were fractionated into primarily starch, fiber, and protein components. Starch isolates primarily had large granules with high purity (>98%) and yield range was 22–39% (flour dry weight basis). More importantly, the β‐glucan extraction efficiency was 77–90%, meaning that it was well separated from the starch component during processing. Physicochemical evaluation of the starch isolates, which were mainly composed of large granules, showed properties that are typical of the barley genotypes.  相似文献

An automated sorting system was developed that nondestructively measured quality characteristics of individual kernels using near‐infrared (NIR) spectra. This single‐kernel NIR system was applied to sorting wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) kernels by protein content and hardness, and proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) into amylose‐bearing and amylose‐free fractions. Single wheat kernels with high protein content could be sorted from pure lines so that the high‐protein content portion was 3.1 percentage points higher than the portion with the low‐protein kernels. Likewise, single wheat kernels with specific hardness indices could be removed from pure lines such that the hardness index in the sorted samples was 29.4 hardness units higher than the soft kernels. The system was able to increase the waxy, or amylose‐free, millet kernels in segregating samples from 94% in the unsorted samples to 98% in the sorted samples. The portion of waxy millet kernels in segregating samples was increased from 32% in the unsorted samples to 55% after sorting. Thus, this technology can be used to enrich the desirable class within segregating populations in breeding programs, to increase the purity of heterogeneous advanced or released lines, or to measure the distribution of quality within samples during the marketing process.  相似文献

Oat and barley (1→3)(1→4)‐β‐d ‐glucans (β‐glucan) are readily extracted by hot water but rye β‐glucan is resistant to such extraction. This poor extractability might be due to entrapment within a matrix of arabinoxylan (AX) cross‐linked through phenolic constituents. AX are the major nonstarch polysaccharides of the rye kernel. In this study, several approaches were compared in an effort to determine optimum conditions for extraction of high yields, high molecular weight (MW), and high purity of β‐glucan from Canadian rye whole meal. Variables investigated included sodium hydroxide concentrations, extraction time, sample prehydration, extraction under low temperature, and prior extraction of AX with barium hydroxide. There was a linear relationship between the strength of NaOH and amount of β‐glucan extracted and because MW was essentially the same up to 1.0N NaOH, this extraction agent, at room temperature for 90 min, was selected to isolate rye β‐glucan. The β‐glucan was then purified and structure and molecular weight distribution studied.  相似文献

Roller milling of hull‐less barley generates mill streams with highly variable β‐glucan and arabinoxylan (AX) content. For high β‐glucan cultivars, yields >20% (whole barley basis) of a fiber‐rich fraction (FRF) with β‐glucan contents >15% can be readily obtained with a simple short mill flow. Hull‐less barley cultivars with high β‐glucan content require higher power consumption during roller milling than normal β‐glucan barley. Recovery of flour from high β‐glucan cultivars was greatly expedited by impact passages after grinding, particularly after reduction roll passages. Pearling before roller milling reduces flour yield and FRF yield on a whole unpearled barley basis, but flour brightness is improved and concentration of β‐glucan in fiber‐rich fractions increases. Pearling by‐products are rich in AX. Pearling to 15–20% is the best compromise between flour and FRF yield and flour brightness and pearling by‐products AX content. Increasing conditioning moisture from 12.5 to 14.5% strongly improved flour brightness with only a moderate loss of flour yield on a whole unpearled barley basis. As moisture content was increased to 16.5%, flour yield declined without a compensating improvement in brightness, but the yield of fiber‐rich fraction continued to increase and concentration of β‐glucan in FRF also increased.  相似文献

Water‐soluble β‐glucan from native and extrusion‐cooked barley flours of two barley cultivars, Candle (a waxy starch barley) and Phoenix (a regular starch barley), was isolated and purified. The purity of β‐glucan samples was 85–93% (w/w, dry weight basis) for Candle and 77–86% (w/w, dry weight basis) for Phoenix. The water solubility of β‐glucan (at room temperature, 25°C) in the native and extruded flours (primary solubility) was different from that of the purified β‐glucan samples (secondary solubility). The solubility of β‐glucan in the native and extruded Candle flour was substantially higher than that of β‐glucan in Phoenix. For both cultivars, β‐glucan in the extruded flours had solubility (primary solubility) values higher than in their native counterparts. The solubility of β‐glucan in the purified β‐glucan samples differed depending on the barley cultivar and the extrusion conditions employed. The glycosidic linkage profiles of purified soluble β‐glucan from native and extruded barley flours were determined in order to understand the changes in the primary structure of β‐glucan and the effect of extrusion on the β‐glucan structure‐solubility relationship.  相似文献

Among common cereals, barley is a low glycemic index food. In an attempt to better understand this character, the nutritional properties of glycemic carbohydrates and dietary fiber concentrations of nine cultivars were evaluated. The cultivars were selected based on botanical variations and commercial value to investigate the impact of pearling and cooking on nutritional properties. Each cultivar was pearled into four fractions ranging from hull removal only to hull, bran, germ, and crease removal. The study showed that botanical class and degree of pearling significantly affect the carbohydrate composition and digestion indices of barley. Waxy starch cultivars had less total starch and more rapidly digestible starch (RDS), rapidly available glucose (RAG), and β‐glucan than the other nonwaxy cultivars. Regardless of the barley type, the less pearled kernels had significantly lower total starch and higher total low molecular weight sugars, insoluble, and total fiber. However, β‐glucan content was fairly comparable in the whole grain and pearled fractions. Cooking had a significant effect on nutritional properties of Celebrity and AC Klinck cultivars. The only consistent significant difference between raw and cooked barley was resistant starch (RS), which increased after cooking regardless of cultivar or fraction. The study showed that barley cultivar and carbohydrate composition significantly affected starch digestion with some cultivar fractions holding a promise for the development of low glycemic index foods.  相似文献

Importance of β‐glucan in human nutrition is mirrored in numerous approval applications registering β‐glucan containing products as health beneficial products in accordance with forthcoming EU Health Claims Regulation. In comparison to other cereals, barley contains considerable amounts of β‐glucan. Naked barley is of particular interest because it circumvents the costs and loss of beneficial substances related to dehusking. In this study, the potential of near‐infrared spectroscopy as an accurate, fast and economic method of determination of β‐glucan in naked barley was appraised. Four different near‐infrared instruments were used to analyze 107 barley samples, in both whole grain and milled form. Importantly, both black and purple pericarp samples, which are of additional nutritional interest due to high anthocyanin content, and waxy samples, which show an extraordinary high β‐glucan content could be analyzed within the same calibration set as the normal samples. All tested dispersive near‐infrared reflection instruments showed suitability for supervision of breeding experiments and β‐glucan monitoring in food industries (R2 > 0.78). Common, industrially used near‐infrared transmission instruments also provided reasonable results, although only suitable for rough selection according to β‐glucan levels. On the other hand, the Fourier transform near‐infrared reflection instrument was able to perform analytical analyses (R2 = 0.96–0.98).  相似文献

The development of nondestructive screening methods for single seed protein, vitreousness, density, and hardness index has been studied for single kernels of European wheat. A single kernel procedure was applied involving, image analysis, near‐infrared transmittance (NIT) spectroscopy, laboratory density determination, single kernel characterization system (SKCS), and finally Kjeldahl protein determination on the crushed single kernels. Single kernel NIT spectroscopy showed excellent ability to determine protein content, and some ability for determination of single kernel vitreousness. Nondestructive determination of single kernel density, either based on NIT spectroscopy or based on image analysis and kernel weight, needs to be further improved for practical use. The use of SKCS hardness index as a true single kernel hardness reference in a NIT prediction model resulted in a poor predictability. However, by applying an averaging approach, in which single seed replicate measurements are mathematically simulated, a very good NIT prediction model was achieved. This suggests that the single seed NIT spectra contain hardness information, but that a single seed hardness method with higher accuracy is needed to achieve a good NIT prediction model for single kernel hardness.  相似文献

Flour samples from seven different barleys, including covered and naked barleys and barleys with normal, waxy, and high‐amylose starches, as well as the high fiber barley Prowashonupana, were impact‐milled and air‐classified in a pilot unit. Six fractions (F1–F5 and C5) with increasing particle size were obtained from each barley. All fractions were analyzed for ash, protein, starch, dietary fiber, and total and unextractable β‐glucan. Ash was enriched in C5; covered barleys (4.3–5.7% of dry matter) had a higher ash content than naked barleys (2.1–3.2%). Starch was enriched in F4 for normal and waxy barleys (72–79%) and in F3 for high‐amylose barleys (72–75%). Protein was enriched in F1 (14–26%) for the different barleys. β‐glucan was enriched in F5 and C5 (7–23%), Prowashonupana had the highest value. The extractability of β‐glucan decreased with increasing particle size, probably because of lower amounts of endogenous β‐glucanase and poorer availability of the substrate in larger particles.  相似文献

The three major classes of endosperm texture (grain hardness) of soft and hard common, and durum wheat represent and define one of the leading determinants of the milling and end‐use quality of wheat. Although these three genetic classes are directly related to the Hardness locus and puroindoline gene function, much less is known about the kernel‐to‐kernel variation within pure varietal grain lots. Measurement of this variation is of considerable interest. The objective of this research was to compare kernel texture as determined by compression failure testing using endosperm bricks with results of whole‐kernel hardness obtained with the Single Kernel Characterization System 4100 hardness index (SKCS HI). In general terms, the variation obtained with the SKCS HI was of similar magnitude to that obtained using failure strain and failure energy of endosperm brick compression. Objective comparisons included frequency distribution plots, normalized frequency distribution plots, ANOVA model R2, and coefficients of variation. Results indicated that compression testing and SKCS HI similarly captured the main features of texture classes but also reflected notable differences in texture properties among and within soft, hard, and durum classes. Neither brick compression testing nor the SKCS HI may be reasonably expected to correctly classify all individual kernels as to genetic texture class. However, modest improvements in correct classification rate or, more importantly, better classification related to end‐use quality may still be achievable.  相似文献

Temporal and genotypic differences in bulk carbohydrate accumulation in three barley genotypes differing in the content of mixed linkage β‐(1→3),(1→4)‐D‐glucan (β‐glucan) and starch were investigated using proton high‐resolution, magic angle spinning, nuclear magnetic resonance (1H HR MAS NMR) during grain filling. For the first time, 1H HR MAS NMR spectra of flour from immature barley seeds are analyzed. Spectral assignments are made using two‐dimensional (2D) NMR methods. Both α‐ and β‐glucan biosynthesis were characterized by inspection of the spectra as well as by calibration to the reference methods for starch and β‐glucan content. Starch was quantified with very good calibrations to the α‐(1→4) peak (5.29–5.40 ppm) and the region 3.67–3.83 ppm covering starch glycopyranosidic protons from H5 and H6. In contrast, the spectral inspection of the β‐anomeric region 4.45–4.85 ppm showed unexpected lack of intensity in the high β‐glucan mutant lys5f at seed maturity, resulting in poor calibration to reference β‐glucan content. We hypothesize that the lack of β‐glucan signal in lys5f indicates partial immobilization of the β‐glucan that appears to be either genotypic dependent or water/β‐glucan ratio dependent.  相似文献

An automated single kernel near‐infrared (NIR) sorting system was used to separate single wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) kernels with amylose‐free (waxy) starch from reduced‐amylose (partial waxy) or wild‐type wheat kernels. Waxy kernels of hexaploid wheat are null for the granule‐bound starch synthase alleles at all three Wx gene loci; partial waxy kernels have at least one null and one functional allele. Wild‐type kernels have three functional alleles. Our results demonstrate that automated single kernel NIR technology can be used to select waxy kernels from segregating breeding lines or to purify advanced breeding lines for the low‐amylose kernel trait. Calibrations based on either amylose content or the waxy trait performed similarly. Also, a calibration developed using the amylose content of waxy, partial waxy, and wild‐type durum (T. turgidum L. var durum) wheat enabled adequate sorting for hard red winter and hard red spring wheat with no modifications. Regression coefficients indicated that absorption by starch in the NIR region contributed to the classification models. Single kernel NIR technology offers significant benefits to breeding programs that are developing wheat with amylose‐free starches.  相似文献

Germination can be used to improve the texture and flavor of cereals. However, germination generally causes breakdown of β‐glucans, which is undesirable with respect to the functional properties of β‐glucan. Our aim was to assess possibilities of germinating oat without substantial loss of high molecular weight β‐glucan. Two cultivars, hulled Veli and hull‐less (naked) Lisbeth were germinated at 5, 15, and 25°C and dried by lyophilization or oven drying. Elevated germination temperatures led to an increase in Fusarium, aerobic heterotrophic bacteria, Pseudomonas spp., lactic acid bacteria, enterobacteria, and aerobic spore‐forming bacteria. Therefore, the germination temperature should be kept low to avoid excessive growth of microbes. Of the samples germinated at 15°C, only one contained low amounts of the Fusarium toxin deoxynivalenol (52 μg/kg). Germination led to the breakdown of β‐glucans, but the decrease in the molecular weight of β‐glucan was initially very slow. A short germination schedule (72 hr, 15°C) terminated with oven drying was developed to produce germinated oat with retained β‐glucan content. Compared with the native oat, 55–60% of the β‐glucan could be retained.  相似文献
