Structure of (1[arrow right]3)(1[arrow right]4)-[beta]-D-Glucan in Waxy and Nonwaxy Barley

From: Cereal Chemistry | Date: May 1, 2003| Author: | Copyright information

ABSTRACT

The endosperm cell walls of barley are composed largely of a (1[arrow right]3)(1[arrow right]4)-[beta]-D-glucan commonly known simply as [beta]-D-glucan (Wood 2001). There has been much research into the characteristics of barley [beta]-glucan because of the influence of this polysaccharide on performance of barley in malting and subsequent brewing of beer, and in feed value, especially for young chicks (MacGregor and Fincher 1993). The potential for [beta]-glucan to develop high viscosity is a problem in these uses, but from the perspective of human nutrition, this characteristic ...
