Abstract
A Nigeria-grown sorghum cultivar was observed to develop more Diastatic Power (DP) and β-amylolytic activity than a previously studied sorghum cultivar grown in Australia. Barley malt produced more Diastatic Power and β-amylolytic activity than the Nigeria-grown sorghum cultivar. In general, the kilned barley malt retained less α-amylolytic activity than kilned sorghum malt. The different diastatic potential of sorghum cultivars may reflect differences in genetic character or growth conditions.Keywords
