Abstract
The use of different techniques for assesment of mould contamination in barley and malt is illustrated by reference to an examination of the effect of sulphuring of malt. Reductions in levels of mould contamination were detected in sulphured malts, compared with corresponding unsulphured controls, using direct and dilution plating techniques. Viable counts of wild yeasts, bacteria and thermophilic actinomycetes were also lower in sulphured malts.Keywords
