In 2014, following malting varieties of spring barley were registered in the Czech Republic: Britney, Francin, KWS Asta, KWS Irina, Montoya, Odyssey, Overture, RGT Otakar, and SU Zaza. The highest extract content was found in the varieties KWS Asta and Overture (83.9 %). All the studied varieties exhibited a very good to optimum level of proteolytic and amylolytic modification. The highest value of the apparent final attenuation was found in the varieties KWS Irina (82.6%) and Overture (83.1%). Despite very good to optimal modification of cell walls (86-94 %), the varieties SU Zaza (237 mg/l), KWS Asta (213 mg/l) exhibited increased content of ß-glucans...

In 2014, the spring barley varieties Cerbinetta, IS Maltea, KWS Bambina, Valis, and Zarasa were registered after three-year tests (2011-2013). The highest extract was exhibited by the varieties KWS Bambina (83.5%), IS Maltea (83.1%) and the variety Zarasa (83.0%). All the studied varieties exhibited a very good to optimal level of proteolytic and amylolytic modification. The highest values of apparent final attenuation were recorded in the varieties KWS Bambina (81.5%). The level of cell wall degradation given by friability (86-93%) was optimal in all the studied varieties. Increased ß-glucan content in sweet wort was found only in the variety IS Maltea...

Barley is a very versatile cereal. It is one of the basic raw materials for beer production, it is used as livestock feed and partly in human nutrition. Presently, the qualitative parameters for brewing barley grains are very well specified. Nevertheless, some of the substances in barley grain which, in terms of beer production and livestock feed are undesirable have scientifically proven benefits for the human body. The present study describes the components in barley grain with positive effects in human nutritioBarley is a very versatile cereal.
