Abstract
The dimethyl sulphide (DMS) content of kilned malt, and, presumably, the level of precursor in green malt, is significantly affected by malting conditions. Increasing proteolysis favours increased DMS formation in the malt, particularly when induced by higher germination temperatures. The additives gibberellic acid and potassium bromate have opposing effects, some increase being caused by the former and significant reduction being achieved by the latter.Keywords
