Enzyme activity of malt determination by direct methods.Peer-reviewed article

J. ZEMEK, V. HOMOĽOVÁ

The correlation resulting from comparison of enzyme activity determinations using tablets eS-Tests-Malt Amylase and Lichenase and the classical analytical methods such as the saccharification time, diastatic power and wort viscosity are described. The results obtained from 85 samples proved that for light malts of the pilsener type the suitab!e activity of α-amylase is from 220 to 530 μkat.kg^-1 and of β-amylase from 100 to 1300 μkat.kg^-1. There was found no linear plot between the endogenous activity of lichenase and the viscosity of congress wort.(In Czech, English summary only)
