Malt production

Malt Production and Producers. World and U.S. beer and malt production are shown in Figure 6. Because approximately 95% of malt manufactured is used to make beer, malt production follows trends in beer production. World brewers malt and beer production in 1992 was approximately 13 million tons and 1.2 biUion hectoHters and was growing at 3% per year. U.S. brewers malt and beer production in 1992 was 2.2 million tons and 240 million hectoHters, but demand has been stagnant since 1982. Distillers and food malts account for approximately 5% of the U.S. and world malt production. 

Malt symps, which are extracts of conventional or specialty malts, are produced by three companies in the United States Breiss Malting Co., Malt Products Corp., and Crompton Knowles Corp. Malt extracts are used in a variety of food appHcations and by microbrewers and home brewers.

The application of enzymes has a long history in the flour, milling and baking industries (Haarasilta and Pullinen, 1992). Cereal-based enzymes have been used for decades in the form of different malt products, such as malt flour, malt extract and malt-based improvers. The use of fungal hr-amylases became widespread during the 1960 s. hr-Amylases produce dextrins, which ate further broken down to sugars by naturally...

NUTRITIVE VALUES OF MALT PRODUCTS. Table M-4 compares the nutrient content of the original barley grain, malt, and two of the products derived from it.

COMMERCIAL USES OF MALT AND ITS DERIVATIVES. Although malt products are almost exclusively consumed by man in the form of beverages and foods, producers of these items recover and sell the by-products from their processes for use as ingredients in livestock feeds. A brief summary of some of the commercial uses of malt and its derivatives follows. 

Maltol is found in roasted materials which have a moderate to high carbohydrate content, such as bread crusts, cocoa beans, cellulose, cereals, chicory, coffee beans, dia-static flour doughs (where some of the starch has been converted by enzyme action to maltose), malt products, softwoods, and soybeans. It is also found in heated products which contain moderate amounts of both sugars and amino acids, such as condensed and dried milks, dried whey, and soy sauce. Apparently heating is not always required for the production of maltol, since it also occurs in lardi bark and the dry needles of cone-E)earing evergreen trees.

The flower morphology is that of a panicle (- inflorescence), like in ->oats. Besides the many applications of r. in the kitchen, it also is used for noodle and malt production. R. seed contains 77% - starch, 8% protein, 0.5% fiber, 1.5% oil and 13% water. Polishing of r. results in r. bran, which contains several useftil products - r. bran oil, r. wax and protein meal.
