New method to quantify the degree of hydration of barley grains using a grain scanner
Resumen:
Steeping process consist in submerging grain in water until the moisture content reached the required level. • The water absorption depends on barley variety, year or harvesting conditions, the grain size and steeping regime during malting process. • The degree of hydration of barley during malting process is an important factor to understand and determine. • The aim of this study was to develop a new and reliable method to quantify the degree of hydration using a grain scanner.
