Studies on the possibility of using triticale as an adjunct on wort of barley malt (variety Sahra)

Triticale (X Triticosecale wittmack) is a hybrid seed plant result from wheat and secale. This seed has high amylolitic and protelytic activities, introducing it as adjuncts in mashing process. In this study, influence of malting process on physico-chemical properties variety of barley (namely Sahra) and Triticale and malt quality of them were investigate. Malt of barley was selected as reference and the effect of adding unmalted triticale, as adjunct, in malt of barley (20, 40, 50 %), on physico-chemical properties of wort such as diastatic power, cold water extract, hot water extract, color and pH was investigated. Results showed malting of these grains, induce an improved in diastatic power and cold water extract and a decreased in total nitrogen and ash content. Mixing of 20% triticale produced more hot water, total soluble, nitrogen extract, dry matter, and reduced sugar while the lowest value observed in mixing of 50%.
