Abstract
Barley grains from two hull-less varieties, Phoenix and Candle, were pearled to various degrees (10−80%). The composition (starch, protein, β-glucan, lipid, and ash) of pearled grain (PG) and pearling flour (PF) was determined. Effect of pearling on Hunter L, a, and b color parameters of uncooked and cooked (gel) barley flour (milled from PG) was investigated over a 3 day storage at 4 °C. Keywords: Barley; chemical composition; gel color; pearling
