Value Chain Analysis – Barley 1 Executive Summary: Barley Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is the most widely grown cereal crop over broad environmental conditions and is the world’s fourth important cereal crop after wheat, maize and rice. Barley is more tolerant to soil salinity than wheat, has a shorter growing season and is also relatively drought tolerant and requires around 0ne fifth the water required for wheat. Barley consumption apparently has a range of health benefits by way of regulation of blood sugar and reducing cholesterol levels in the blood. Its appearance resembles wheat grains, although it is slightly lighter in color and is more fibrous in nature. Food barley is principally cultivated for traditional foods and local beverages in various parts of the world. De-hulled barley is used to prepare a number of food items like flour, flakes etc. Barley is also a popular animal feed grain. Sprouted barley is naturally high in maltose, a sugar that serves as the basis for both malt syrup sweetener. Fermented, barley is used as an ingredient in beer and other alcoholic beverages. Malt barley, due to its limited usage and high- quality requirements, is a unique niche product in international grain market representing about 1.5% of the total world grain production

  • INTRODUCTION BARLEY Barley (Also Known As Groats) Is a Cereal
    INTRODUCTION BARLEY Barley (also known as groats) is a cereal grain botanically known as Hordeum vulgare L. , and is believed for its origin from western Asia or Ethiopia. Barley is still considered one of the top five cereal grains in the world. Only ten percent of barley is used as human food, while the remaining percentage is used for brewing malt beverages, including beer and whiskey. However, the majority of harvest barley is used for livestock feed. Barley is also a prime ingredient in the making of variety of the popular foods in the world. The exact origin of barley is debatable, possibly originating in Egypt, Ethiopia, and the near East of Tibet (4). However, it is confirmed that certain barley species was among the earliest cultivated grains, around the same time as domestication of wheat, Barley was grown in the Middle East prior to 10,000 BC (5), but barley's cultivation in China and India probably occurred later (5, 20, 31) . The old English word for 'barley' was baere, which traces back to Proto-Indo- European and is cognate to the Latin word farina "flour". The un-derived world ‘baere’ survives in the north of Scotland as bere , and refers to a specific strain of six-row barley (4, 15). The word barn, which originally meant barley-house, is also rooted in these words (2). In a ranking of cereal crops (2007) in the world, barley was fourth both in terms of quantity produced (136 million tons) and in area of cultivation (566,000 km²) 6. 1 BARLEY IN ISLAMIC LITERATURE According to the scholars of Hadiths (Prophetic sayings) barley supposed to be very nutritious, beneficial in coughs and inflammation of the stomach.

  • Physiological Effects of Barley
    Physiological Effects of Barley: Examining the Effects of Cultivar, Processing and Food Form on Glycemia, Glycemic Index, Satiety and the Physico-Chemical Properties of β-glucan by Ahmed Aldughpassi A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Nutritional Sciences University of Toronto © Copyright by Ahmed Aldughpassi (2013) Physiological Effects of Barley: Examining the Effects of Cultivar, Processing and Food Form on Glycemia, Glycemic Index, Satiety and the Physico- Chemical Properties of β-glucan Ahmed Aldughpassi Doctor of Philosophy Department of Nutritional Sciences University of Toronto 2013 Barley has been receiving increased attention as a human food due to the health benefits associated with β-glucan fiber and its potential as a low glycemic index (GI) functional food. Research has shown a relationship between the physico-chemical properties of β-glucan and the physiological effects, which may be altered by processing. However, it is not known if the physiological effects of consuming barley are affected by variations in chemical composition among cultivars or by common processing methods such as pearling or milling. The primary objective of this thesis was to characterize the effects of differences in cultivar starch and fibre content, level of pearling and milling on the GI, satiety and the physico-chemical properties of β-glucan. Nine barley cultivars varying in starch-type and β-glucan content were studied in three experiments in separate groups of ten healthy participants. Blood glucose and satiety ratings were measured and the GI was calculated. Total starch, total fibre, β-glucan, molecular weight (MW), solubility and β-glucan viscosity were determined in vitro.

  • Barley: a Cereal with Potential for Development of Functional Fermented Foods Deepti Suman and Sreeja V.*
    Intl. J. Ferment. Food. 8(1): 01-13, June 2019 DOI: 10.30954/2321-712X.01.2019.1 Barley: A Cereal with Potential for Development of Functional Fermented Foods Deepti Suman and Sreeja V.* Department of Dairy Microbiology, S.M.C. College of Dairy Science, Anand Agricultural University, Anand-388110, Gujarat, India *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received: 16-01-2019 Revised: 17-04-2019 Accepted: 19-05-2019 Abstract Cereals like barley are now increasingly being explored for their application as ingredients for improving the functional properties in diverse foods. Cereal-based /cereal containing probiotic functional foods are becoming increasingly popular owing to their potential health benefits. Barley is considered as a rich source of dietary fiber, phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals. The presence of β-glucan in whole grain barley has been largely credited for its health benefits. The phytochemicals in barley exhibit strong antioxidant, antiproliferative, and cholesterol lowering abilities, which are potentially useful in lowering the risk of certain diseases. Barley, due to its nutritional contents are considered good substrate for the growth of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) /probiotic bacteria. Several studies have demonstrated the fermentation of barley by LAB. Hence barley can be a good substrate to produce functional fermented foods using lactic acid bacteria. The content of dietary fibre in barley can serve as prebiotics for the probiotic bacteria and thus can add to the functional value of fermented foods. In addition to this barley proteins are said to be good candidates for value-added application as food supplements owing to their functional properties. Keywords: Barley, β-glucan, Phytochemicals, Probiotics, Functional, Fermented food Barley, considered as the most ancient and diverse food capacity can enhance rheological attributes of food crop was primarily used for the animal feed.

  • Barley Cultivation & Cultural Representations
    The Tibetans in the Making Barley Cultivation & Cultural Representations Yannick LAURENT (Oxford) Introduction1 he Tibet-Qinghai plateau is one of the highest environments on the planet. It comprises an area of approximately 2.5 mil- T lion square kilometres with an average elevation exceeding 4000 metres above sea level (masl). The Tibetan plateau permits only a narrow range of productive activities. It is estimated that about 1% of the plateau is able to sustain farming practices.2 Today, fields of barley are grown everywhere from the alpine steppes of western Ti- bet to the hilly grasslands and forested provinces of Amdo and Kham in the east, from the large and temperate alluvial plains of the Tibetan heartland to the terrace fields of highland Nepal. In these harsh cli- matic and topographical conditions, where resources are distributed asymmetrically, human adaptation was rendered possible by a skilful exploitation of pastoralism and agriculture. As a result, farmers and nomads have always constituted the backbone of Tibetan civilization. Highland barley is a six-rowed naked (i.e., hulless) barley with a spring phenotype. It is particularly suited for harsh environments with extremely high altitudes. It is sown in the spring around the month of April. After a short period of dormancy and germination the crop is generally harvested in August-September. A six-rowed naked barley with a winter habit is also cultivated in lower regions subject to mild winter conditions. It is frost resistant and benefits from a longer period of dormancy. It is usually sown in autumn and ripens in late spring.

  • Barley Cluster Study
    CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT BASED AGRICULTURE TRANSFORMATION PLAN VISION- 2025 Barley Cluster Feasibility and Transformation Study Planning Commission of Pakistan, Ministry of Planning, Development & Special Initiatives February 2020 1 KNOWLEDGE FOR LIFE 2 KNOWLEDGE FOR LIFE FOREWORD In many developed and developing countries, the cluster-based development approach has become the basis for the transformation of various sectors of the economy including the agriculture sector. This approach not only improves efficiency of development efforts by enhancing stakeholders’ synergistic collaboration to resolve issues in the value chain in their local contexts, but also helps to gather resources from large number of small investors into the desirable size needed for the cluster development. I congratulate the Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International (CABI) and its team to undertake this study on Feasibility Analysis for Cluster Development Based Agriculture Transformation. An important aspect of the study is the estimation of resources and infrastructure required to implement various interventions along the value chain for the development of clusters of large number of agriculture commodities. The methodology used in the study can also be applied as a guide in evaluating various investment options put forward to the Planning Commission of Pakistan for various sectors, especially where regional variation is important in the project design. 3 KNOWLEDGE FOR LIFE FOREWORD To improve enhance Pakistan’s competitiveness in the agriculture sector in national and international markets, the need to evaluate the value chain of agricultural commodities in the regional contexts in which these are produced, marketed, processed and traded was long felt. The Planning Commission of Pakistan was pleased to sponsor this study on the Feasibility Analysis for Cluster Development Based Agriculture Transformation to fill this gap.
