Sprouting, cereal

The three main classes of phytoestrogens (and common food sources) are isoflavones (soybeans), lignans (cereals and oilseeds such as flaxseed), and coumestans (alfalfa sprouts). The biologic potency of phytoestrogens varies and is less than that of synthetic estrogen. 

Malt sprouts are obtained from malted barley by the removal of the rootlets and sprouts which may include some of the malt hulls, other parts of malt and foreign material unavoidably present. The traded product must contain not less than 24% CP. The term malt sprouts, when applied to a corresponding portion of other malted cereals, must be in a qualified form i.e. Rye Malt Sprouts, Wheat Malt Sprouts, etc. Malt sprouts are also known as malt culms in some countries.

Radiation sterilization produces foods that are stable at room temperature and requires a dose of 20 to 70 kGy. At lower doses, longer shelf life may be obtained, especially with perishable foods such as fruits, fish, and shellfish. The destruction of Salmonella in poultry is an application for radiation treatment. This requires doses of 1 to 10 kGy. Radiation disinfestation of spices and cereals may replace chemical fumigants, which have come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. Dose levels of 8 to 30 kGy would be required. Other possible applications of irradiation processing are inhibition of sprouting in potatoes and onions and delaying of the ripening of tropical fruits.

Maltose derives its name from its presence in malt, the juice from sprouted barley and other cereal grains (from which beer is brewed). Maltose consists of two molecules of D-glucopyranose joined by an a-l,4-glycosidic bond between carbon 1 (the anomeric carbon) of one unit and carbon 4 of the other unit. Following are representations for 8-maltose, so named because the —OH on the anomeric carbon of the glucose unit on the right is (3. 

All cereal seed crops are inspected twice for varietal authenticity and for the presence of other cereal species, weeds and diseases. Wild oats are not permitted at more than 7 plants/ha in Pre-Basic, Basic and Cl and C2 HVS crops. The EU minimum standard allows up to 50/ha in Cl and C2 wheat and rye crops and 20/ha in barley. An important seed-borne disease is loose smut of wheat and barley, which, in the case of heavy infestations, can be the cause of the rejection of a crop for seed. Lodging in wheat may also cause problems with seed crops, in particular as it is likely that the grain on lodged plants may start to sprout before harvest. Crops which are badly lodged will almost certainly be rejected for seed.
