Abstract
The combined amylolytic activity of malt is often evaluated by Diastatic Power (DP). Using new specific colorimetric assays recently developed by McCleary B-amylase was found highly correlated to DP whereas only insignificant correlations were observed between DP and a-amylase/limit dextrinase. By modifying the extraction conditions a procedure for determination of total B-amylase in barley has been worked out.Keywords
