Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Ascorbic acid oxidase develops in barley embryo tissues during steeping and early germination.
- Observation One of the two barley AAO enzymes has a remarkably low molecular weight (<10,000).
- Observation Both barley AAO enzymes are very heat tolerant and act over a broad pH range.
- Intervention effect Adding ascorbic acid to mashes led to higher levels of polyphenol and thiols surviving into wort.
- Intervention effect Adding ascorbic acid to mashes reduced the color of the wort.
