Kvasny Prum. 2014; 60(10): 254-257 | DOI: 10.18832/kp2014024  

Our objective was to study the application of the Near Infrared Spectroscopy for determination of mycotoxins in spring barley grains. The samples of 10 spring barley cultivars from field trials with natural and artificial infection of Fusarium spp. were assayed. The content of mycotoxins in grains was analysed at the Institute of Chemical Technology, Prague by a reference method of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry and obtained data were used for development of calibration models for two mycotoxins - deoxynivalenol and nivalenol. The models with correlation coefficient 0.85 for nivalenol...

Non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs), (arabinoxylans and beta-glucans), a main component of cell walls of barley grain, are a limiting factor for the utilization of barley production. Arabinoxylans are formed by (1→4)-ß-D-xylanopyrosyl units substituted with a-L-arabinofuranose. Arabinoxylans are esterified by ferulic acid. Beta-glucans are formed by ß-(1→3),(1→4)-D-glucans, ß-(1→4) linkages account for ca 70 %, ß-(1→3) for the remaining 30 %. NSP concentration in a barley grain is mainly affected by a genotype, growing environment and intensity of vegetation treatment. NSPs can be a cause of technological and economic problems...

Ice making in Brno - History of Jundrov Ice-Houses. Part 3: The ice-works bought by the Starobrno Brewery.Peer-reviewed article

Filip VRÁNA

Kvasny Prum. 2014; 60(10): 266-269 | DOI: 10.18832/kp2014026  

The third and final part of the serial describes overtaking of the Jundrov ice-works by the Starobrno Brewery in the first half of the 20th century. The author follows negotiation among the owners of the ice-works, Moravian bank and the Brewery. He describes the economic situation of the company, response of pub-keepers to the sale of ice-works. He deals with the further development of ice harvesting in Brno to the termination of ice-houses operation and their liquidation(In Czech, English summary only)
