Abstract

Tests on many varieties showed that grain of bird-resistant varieties had greater diastatic activity and was more extensively modified during malting than grain of nonresistant varieties. Enzyme production and activity in malt from bird-resistant varieties were unaffected by polyphenols present in the testa and nucellar layer of the grain. The bird-resistant varieties differed in their content and quality of the polyphenols which inhibit enzymes after milling of the grain. Beer made from bird-resistant varieties did not taste bitter
