The use of geotrichum candidum starter culture for protection of barley and its influence on biotechnological qualities of malts

Barbara Foszczynska, Ewelina Dziuba, Regina Stempniewicz

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The influence of chemical disinfection of barley grain and addition of biomass of Geotrichum candidum in the process of steeping or germinating the grain on the enzymatic and technological quality of malt was examined. Rudzik brewing barley grain disinfected using formalin or biologically protected using G. candidum strains 1, KC3 and KB5, was used as experiment material. The starter cultures were added during steeping or at the beginning of germination. It was observed that the use of formalin negatively influenced the modification of malts and resulted in, among others, lowered Kolbach index (by 4.3% avg.). Addition of starter cultures to the first steeping water was favourable for the creation of enzymatic potential of malts. As compared to the control sample, starter malts were characterised by higher activity of beta-glucanase (by 24 U·kg-1) and alpha-amylase (by 20 U·g-1) and by higher diastatic power (by 20 WK-u).
