Protein content, starch content and selected malting parameters were assessed in 20 varieties of two-row spring barley. Mealiness was assessed using the Light Transflectance Meter (LTm) a hardness using the Single Kernel Characterization System 4100 (SKCS). Effect of the locality on mealiness and hardness was 87% (LTm) or 83% (SKCS). Significant correlations were found between LTm, SKCS and starch content, extract content in malt, Kolbach index, friability, and beta-glucan content in wort. High correlation was found between the two physically different methods used (LTm and SKCS).Protein content, starch content and selected malting parameters were...
