“…Colorimetric determination of the resulting reducing sugars using Lever's p-hydroxy-benzoic acid hydrazide (PAHBAH) reaction (10) was done as directed by Henry (11). This modified method has been described previously (12). All of the reagents used were obtained from Sigma Chemical Company (St. Louis, MO) or were reagent …”

“…They are the main components of the endosperm cell walls and can be mostly found in barley and oats, while in other cereals they are present to a significantly lesser extent (Vis and Lorenz 1997). Total content of β-glucans in barley normally ranges from 2 to 8% (Marconi et al 2014) and depends predominantly on genetic factors, but other factors (e.g.…”

Although β-glucans in cereals are desirable as healthy diet components, high levels of β-glucans in malting barley are unacceptable because they can cause unsatisfactory degradation of cell walls during malting. The aim of this study was to investigate the β-glucan content in twelve Croatian and two German barley varieties at three representative locations in Eastern Croatia over three consecutive seasons (2012)(2013)(2014). Total β-glucan content in barley samples was determined using enzymatic method. Most of the investigated barley varieties had total β-glucan content lower or significantly lower than 4%. Furthermore, a distinct and clear genotype influence was noticed. No significant difference was found between years, but between locations Osijek and Tovarnik.

“…The specificity of these methods has been questioned by several authors [8,44]. During precipitation, both β-linked polymers and non-β-glucan polysaccharides may be precipitated, whereas the β-glucan content could be overestimated because of the presence of α-glucans [44][45][46]. Furthermore, precipitating agents support the association of polymers via hydrogen bonding by removing the hydration shell.…”
