Aastrup, S. | Gibbons, G.C. | Munck, L.
A rapid method to study cell wall breakdown in malt by use of Calcofluor-straining has been developed. Three to five plastic clay plates, each containing 50 half seeds cut longitudinally, can be produced by one person in 20 minutes. The plates are visually evaluated in a newly designed UV-light box. Objective analysis of cell wall breakdown using a television image analyzer is compared with the subjective estimation of modified endosperm. Malt vitreosity and mealyness are compared with cell wall modification on the same set of seeds
