Abstract
There has been an increase in the use of adoptable bioprocessing methods for the development of high-quality leguminous ingredients. The potential use of germinated green Altamura lentils as a food ingredient is closely related to the resulting properties. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of three germination times - 0 (C), 24 (G) and 48 (H) hours - on the physicochemical, microstructural, flavour, functional, and nutritional features of lentil flour samples (CF, GF and HF). Lentil flour samples were obtained by grinding both whole green seeds (C) and germinated seeds (G and H), and then sifting them to obtain a particle size < 300 μm. The germinated samples - GF (24 h) and HF (48 h) - exhibited differences (P < 0.05) in the physicochemical and bioactive properties of CF (control). Similarly, compared with those in the control sample, the total starch, amylose and total phenolic contents in the GF and HF samples decreased, while the protein content increased (p < 0.05). A decrease in the presence of intact starch granules was observed via SEM in the germinated samples. The germination time had a significant (P < 0.05) effect on the colour indices, L*, a*, and b* of the samples. Flavour attributes were significantly influenced by the germination time. Overall, a total of 14 (CF) and 17 (GF and HF) aromatic compounds were identified. The technological characteristics of the CF, GF and HF dough samples were studied using a Brabender farinograph. Germination time affects the flour properties, leading to a significant decrease in farinographic parameters such as water absorption (WA), dough development time (DT), and dough stability (DS) and an increase in the degree of dough weakening (DOS). Differential scanning calorimetry was employed to examine the gelatinization transition of the samples. Germination strongly influenced all the thermal properties of the samples. It also had a significant impact on the in vitro starch digestibility, starch fraction and glycaemic index (eGI) of the samples. In particular, the eGI of germinated lentils was lower than that of the CF. In conclusion, the germination time could be a key factor modulating some crucial lentil flour properties.

Abstract
Cereal grains have been domesticated largely from food grains to feed and malting grains. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) remains unparalleled in its success as a primary brewing grain. However, there is renewed interest in "alternative" grains for brewing (and distilling) due to attention being placed on flavor, quality, and health (i.e., gluten issues) aspects that they may offer. This review covers basic and general information on "alternative grains" for malting and brewing, as well as an in-depth look at several major biochemical aspects of these grains including starch, protein, polyphenols, and lipids. These traits are described in terms of their effects on processing and flavor, as well as the prospects for improvement through breeding. These aspects have been studied extensively in barley, but little is known about the functional properties in other crops for malting and brewing. In addition, the complex nature of malting and brewing produces a large number of brewing targets but requires extensive processing, laboratory analysis, and accompanying sensory analysis. However, if a better understanding of the potential of alternative crops that can be used in malting and brewing is needed, then significantly more research is required.

Abstract
The production of fermentable sugars (FS) in gluten-free (GF) brewing is hindered by the high starch gelatinization temperatures of GF malts and lower diastatic power compared to barley malt. Our previous work has demonstrated that starch gelatinization was the primary hurdle, and when decoupled from a single mash phase, high concentrations of FS could be produced. However, more research was required to improve the applicability of GF brewing. In this study, millet was used as a model GF malt demonstrating that despite the low α-amylase and β-amylase activities compared to barley malt ∼ 90 % of the FS (∼110 g/L) could be produced within 40 min. Limitations to enzyme extraction and separation due to coarse milling and lautering initially limited FS by ∼ 30 g/L, requiring additional processing or exogenous enzyme supplements that improved fermentable sugar generation by ∼ 20 g/L. Overall, millet is a promising brewing ingredient, provided appropriate mashing procedures are implemented.

Intrinsic and extrinsic factors drive differences in the gelatinisation behaviour of barley and malt starch. Food Res Int 2023; 167:112653.

Abstract
We studied the impact of malting on barley starch gelatinisation properties and whether observed differences are due to changes in extrinsic or intrinsic factors. We isolated the total starch and large and small starch granules fractions from barley and malt samples and subjected them to DSC. The peak gelatinisation temperature for malt starch was, on average, 1.2 °C higher than for barley starch. The malting process and endosperm breakdown products were each responsible for half of this difference. The presence of water-extractable, non-starch components (sugars, minerals, protein and starch hydrolysis products,…) increased the intrinsic starch gelatinisation temperatures by 2.2-4.7 °C for barley and 3.6-5.3 °C for malt. The small starch granule fractions from barley had a 3.1 °C higher peak gelatinisation temperature than large granule fractions. No effect of malting was observed here. These findings indicate that matrix effects and starch granule size must be considered when addressing starch conversion during brewing.

Abstract
In addition to ethanol yield, the production of flavour congeners during fermentation is a major consideration for Scotch whisky producers. Experimental whisky fermentations can provide useful information to the industry, and this is the focus of this paper. This study investigated the impact of wort pretreatments (boiled, autoclaved, filtered) on fermentation performance and flavour development in Scotch whisky distillates as an alternative to freezing wort for storage. Our study showed that no significant sensorial differences were detected in low wines (first distillates), while the chemical compositions showed clear changes in increased levels of esters and higher alcohols in boiled and autoclaved wort. In contrast, filtered wort comprised overall lower levels of congeners. Regarding alcohol yield, all three pretreatments resulted in decreased yields. In practice, the pretreatment of wort prior to fermentation requires additional process operations, while freezing requires large storage units. The pretreatments adopted in this study significantly influence the composition of the malt wort used for experimental whisky fermentations, and this results in a poorer fermentation performance compared with untreated wort. We recommend the use of fresh or frozen wort as the best options for small-scale fermentation trials.

Abstract
The mashing step underpins the brewing process, during which the endogenous amylolytic enzymes in the malt, chiefly β-amylase, α-amylase, and limit dextrinase, act concurrently to rapidly hydrolyze malt starch to fermentable sugars. With barley malts, the mashing step is relatively straightforward, due in part to malted barley’s high enzyme activity, enzyme thermostabilities, and gelatinization properties. However, barley beers also contain gluten and individuals with celiac disease or other gluten intolerances should avoid consuming these beers. Producing gluten-free beer from gluten-free malts is difficult, generally because gluten-free malts have lower enzyme activities. Strategies to produce gluten-free beers commonly rely on exogenous enzymes to perform the hydrolysis. In this study, it was determined that the pH optima of the enzymes from gluten-free malts correspond to regions already typically targeted for barley mashes, but that a lower mashing temperature was required as the enzymes exhibited low thermostability at common mashing temperatures. The ExGM decoction mashing procedure was developed to retain enzyme activity, but ensure starch gelatinization, and demonstrates a modified brewing procedure using gluten-free malts, or a combination of malts with sub-optimal enzyme profiles, that produces high fermentable sugar concentrations. This study demonstrates that gluten-free malts can produce high fermentable sugar concentrations without requiring enzyme supplementation.

Abstract
Hydrolysis of starch is key in several industrial processes, including brewing. Here, the activity and inactivation kinetics of amylases throughout barley malt mashing are investigated, as a prerequisite for rational optimisation of this process. Varietal differences were observed in the activity of α- and β-amylases as a function of temperature for six barley and malt varieties. These differences were not reflected in the resulting wort composition after mashing, using three isothermal phases of 30 min at 45 °C, 62 °C and 72 °C with intermediate heating by 1 °C/min. Thermal inactivation kinetics parameters determined for α- and β-amylases of an industrially relevant malt variety in a diluted system showed that enzymes were inactivated at lower temperatures than expected. The obtained kinetic parameters could predict α-amylase, but not β-amylase inactivation in real mashing conditions, suggesting that β-amylase stability is enhanced during mashing by components present or formed in the mash.

Abstract
Abstract
The objective of this paper was to test the potential of selected non-Saccharomyces strains for beer production, by using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a control sample. For some of variants brewing enzymes were added to wort to increase the content of fermentable sugars. The non-Saccharomyces yeasts differed in the fermentation process rate. The basic beer physiochemical parameters were assessed, including: alcohol content, extract, free amino nitrogen, sugars, acidity, colour, and the profile of volatile compounds and metal ions. The use of enzymes caused an increase in alcohol and fusel alcohols concentration in beers obtained. Total acidity, free amine nitrogen content, colour and sugar content indicated that the tested non-Saccharomyces yeast allowed obtaining beers with the proper analytical parameters.

Abstract
The germination process activates amylolytic enzymes that can produce rice syrup through mashing, however the factors affecting enzyme activities and soluble saccharides have not been investigated. This study characterized amylolytic enzymes activities, including α-amylase, β-amylase, and α-glucosidase, and soluble saccharides from germinated rice cultivars of four rice cultivars, including waxy, short grain, medium grain, and long grain, under aerobic and anaerobic germination conditions over 4 days and then mashed at 55, 65, 75, and 85 °C. The results showed that the long-grain rice had higher activities of all three enzymes, whereas the waxy rice exhibited lower activities. Glucose and maltose were the predominant saccharides at low mashing temperatures of 55 °C and 65 °C; saccharides of degree of polymerization 3 to 7 became significant at mashing temperatures of 75 °C and 85 °C. The amount and composition of saccharides were strongly influenced by rice cultivar, and germination and mashing conditions. The findings highlight the importance of rice components and starch structure on the amount and composition of soluble saccharides from germinated brown rice. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Rice syrup is commercially produced by the addition of external bacterial enzymes to brown or milled rice. Germinated brown rice is naturally rich in nutrients and amylases, both are produced during the germination process. Because of the presence of naturally activated amylases, germinated brown rice could be used to produce rice syrup without the addition of external enzymes while preserving the nutrients from germination of brown rice.

Abstract
Serpin protease inhibitors and β-amylase starch hydrolases are very abundant seed proteins in the endosperm of grasses. β-amylase is a crucial enzyme in the beer industry providing maltose for fermenting yeast. In animals and plants, inhibitory serpins form covalent linkages that inactivate their cognate proteases. Additionally, in animals, noninhibitory functions for serpins are observed such as metabolite carriers and chaperones. The function of serpins in seeds has yet to be unveiled. In developing endosperm, serpin Z4 and β-amylase showed similar in vivo spatio-temporal accumulation properties and colocalize in the cytosol of transformed tobacco leaves. A molecular interaction between recombinant proteins of serpin Z4 and β-amylase was revealed by surface plasmon resonance and microscale thermophoresis yielding a dissociation constant of 10-7 M. Importantly, the addition of serpin Z4 significantly changes β-amylase enzymatic properties by increasing its maximal catalytic velocity. The presence of serpin Z4 stabilizes β-amylase activity during heat treatment without affecting its critical denaturing temperature. Oxidative stress, simulated by the addition of CuCl2, leads to the formation of high molecular weight polymers of β-amylase similar to those detected in vivo. The polymers were cross-linked through disulfide bonds, the formation of which was repressed when serpin Z4 was present. The results suggest an unprecedented function for a plant seed serpin as a β-amylase-specific chaperone-like partner that could optimize β-amylase activity upon germination. This report is the first to describe a noninhibitory function for a serpin in plants.

Abstract
Limit dextrinase (LD) is an essential amylolytic enzyme for the complete degradation of starch, and it is closely associated with malt quality. A survey of 51 cultivated barley and 40 Tibetan wild barley genotypes showed a wide genetic diversity of LD activity and LD thermostability. Compared with cultivated barley, Tibetan wild barley showed lower LD activity and higher LD thermostability. A doubled haploid population composed of 496 DArT and 28 microsatellite markers was used for mapping Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs). Parental line Yerong showed low LD activity and high LD thermostability, but Franklin exhibited high LD activity and low LD thermostability. Three QTLs associated with thermostable LD were identified. The major QTL is close to the LD gene on chromosome 7H. The two minor QTLs colocalized with previously reported QTLs determining malt-extract and diastatic power on chromosomes 1H and 2H, respectively. These QTLs may be useful for a better understanding of the genetic control of LD activity and LD thermostability in barley.

Abstract
The effects of different timing of N fertilizer application at the same rate on grain beta-amylase activity, protein concentration, weight and malt quality of barley were studied. Grain beta-amylase activity and protein concentration were significantly higher in treatments where all top-dressed N fertilizer was applied at booting stage only or equally applied at two-leaf stage and booting stage than in the treatment where all top-dressed N fertilizer was applied at two-leaf age stage only. On the other hand, grain weight and malt extract decreased with increased N application at booting stage. There were obvious differences between barley varieties and experimental years in the grain and malt quality response to the timing of N fertilizer application. It was found that grain protein concentration was significantly and positively correlated with beta-amylase activity, but significantly and negatively correlated with malt extract and Kolbach index. The effect of grain protein concentration on malt quality was predominant over the effect of grain beta-amylase activity.
