Varietal differences in free ferulic acid contents were determined in spring barley caryopses. The highest content of free ferulic acid on two years' average (2007 and 2008) was found in the variety Sebastian (15.68 mg.kg-1) differing statistically significantly from all the other varieties under study. The highest total ferulic acid content on two years' average was recorded in the varieties Jersey (984.10 mg.kg-1) and Tolar (973.02 mg.kg-1) and differing thus statistically significantly from some of the varieties in the set. Years of growing also affected free and total ferulic acid contents significantly. In 2007 content of free ferulic acid on...

Since 1998 we have been carrying out brewing tests with Saaz, known worldwide as the high quality standard within the group of fine aroma hops. Its brewing characteristics are compared to the other Czech as well as foreign aroma varieties (Tettnang, Spalt, Lublin, Hersbruck and Strieselspalt). Excellent quality of Saaz was confirmed in brewing tests. Optimal time for hopping with Saaz is ten minutes before the end of boiling in the third hopping. Saaz Late, a new Czech aroma variety was released in 2010. This variety shows similar brewing characteristics to Saaz.Since 1998 we have been carrying out brewing tests with Saaz, known worldwide as the high...

Study focused on Central Europe, but also other European areas. Based on the analysis of archaeobotanic findings of barley, an interesting history of this key crop can be traced - from the introduction of barley into the package of grown plants in the Neolithic period to the commencement of the top medieval economy. In the period of the oldest farming, barley was only a marginal cereal in Central Europe, however, its frequency and importance gradually rose.This paper describes distribution and use...
