Barley and malt starches were compared with respect to their lipid content and composition. The starch lipids were first fractionated into internal and surface lipid fractions followed by lipid class and fatty acid analyses of each fraction. Barley starch contained 13 mg/g lipids, of which 9.3 mg were internal lipids and 3.7 mg were surface lipids. The total lipid content of malt starches varied between 11 and 13 mg/g of starch. However, malt starch contained only 1 mg of surface lipids; therefore, the internal lipid contents were as high as or even higher than those in the corresponding fraction of barley starch. Lipid class analyses suggested that the ability for hydrolysis of starch surface lipids was increased in malt. The hydrolysis occurred during the malting or the isolation process, resulting in reduced surface lipid content in malt starch. However, no reduction in the portion of polyunsaturated fatty acids was seen; therefore, lipid oxidation could not have been responsible for the lower content of malt starch surface lipids. Also, not only was the content of starch internal lipids higher in malt, but the composition of these lipids was different when compared to barley starch. The increase in starch internal lipids during malting may be due to transportation and reacylation of free fatty acids that had been liberated by hydrolysis from surface lipids.
