RACI Standard Method; Azo-Barley Glucan Substrate. For the measurement of malt and bacterial ?-glucanase and endo-1,4-?-glucanase.
INTRODUCTION:
The need for an accurate and reliable assay for malt β-glucanase has
become more urgent with modern brewing processes where rapid
and efficient wort and beer filtration, and stability of the product, are
essential. A better knowledge of enzyme stability, the levels of activity
in the malt and changes in activity during the mashing process, may
lead to a reduction, or the elimination, of problems caused by
β-glucan.
