The application of triticale variety Adonis as the substitute for barley malt in wort production

Abstract

Adjuncts are also used in beer production to increase beer stability, and possibly to reduce the production costs. Triticale, the first man-made cereal, is the product of a cross between wheat and rye. In this study the possibility of triticale application as the partial substitute for barley malt in wort production was investigated. For wort production two series of experiments were performed in which triticale variety Adonis was used as the substitute for barley malt in grist with and without the addition of commercial enzyme Ultraflo Max. Triticale was added in each of the carried series of experiments as the substitute for malt: 0, 10, 30, 50, and 70% in grist. With the increase in the content of triticale in the grist, viscosity increased. The addition of commercial enzyme Ultraflo Max reduced wort viscosity. The obtained results indicate that worts produced with the addition of triticale variety Adonis in grist had good analytical quality parameters.

Nesladovane sirovine se u proizvodnji piva koriste i u cilju poboljšanja stabilnosti piva, kao i mogućeg sniženja troškova proizvodnje. Tritikale je najstariji veštački stvoren hibrid nastao ukrštanjem pšenice i raži. U radu je ispitana mogućnost primene tritikalea kao delimične zamene za ječmeni slad u proizovdnji sladovine. Za proizvodnju sladovine izvedene su dve serije eksperimenata u kojima je sorta tritikalea Adonis, korišćena umesto ječmenog slada u usipku sa i bez dodatka komericijalnog enzima Ultraflo Max. Tritikale je dodavan umesto slada u usipku u sledećim odnosima: 0, 10, 30, 50 i 70%. S porastom udela tritikalea u usipku viskoznost sladovina se povećavala. Dodatak enzima Ultraflo Max je smanjio viskoznost sladovina. Dobijeni rezultati pokazuju da su sladovine proizvedene uz primenu tritikalea sorte Adonis kao delimične zamene za slad imale dobre analitičke pokazatelje.
