  • Observations on the Malting of Ancient Wheats: Einkorn, Emmer and Spelt
    fermentation Article Observations on the Malting of Ancient Wheats: Einkorn, Emmer and Spelt Alice Fujita, Senay Simsek and Paul B. Schwarz * Department of Plant Sciences, North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND 58108, USA; [email protected] (A.F.); [email protected] (S.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-701-231-7732 Received: 25 November 2020; Accepted: 10 December 2020; Published: 14 December 2020 Abstract: There have been tremendous marketing efforts and consumer interest in the so-called ancient grains. Einkorn, emmer and spelt, which are sometimes referred to as ancient wheats, are frequently included in this category, and have gained some attention among brewers. The objective of the current study was to compare the malting behavior and quality of einkorn, emmer and spelt cultivars obtained from the same growing environment. Aside from standard malt quality traits, the levels of β-amylase, protease, xylanase, wort arabinoxylans and wort phenolic acids were measured. While protein levels of the samples were higher (11.4–14.0%) than normally selected for wheat malt, the results indicated that malts of acceptable quality in terms of extract and amylolytic activity can be prepared from the three grain types. However, the ideal malting protocol will likely differ between the grains. The kernels of einkorn are significantly smaller, and steep hydration and malt modification are quicker. In terms of potential health benefits from antioxidant capacity and dietary fiber, wort from einkorn trended to higher levels of free and conjugated ferulic acid, as well as high-molecular-weight arabinoxylan. Keywords: arabinoxylan; brewing; einkorn; enzyme activity; emmer; malt; phenolic acid; spelt; and sprouting 1.

Protein ingredients are one of the most expensive inputs even though they are not included in large quantities as compared to cereals. Monogastric animal industries are faced with a major problem of limited protein sources, moreover, the competition for plant materials is expected to further increase feed prices. Therefore, to tackle this problem, interventions are required to find alternative and cost-effective protein sources. One identified crop that meets these requirements is amaranth. Studies have shown the potential and contribution that amaranth has as an alternative ingredient in diets for monogastric animals. Therefore, the main purpose of this review is to provide a detailed understanding of the potential use of amaranth as feed for monogastric animals, and further indicate processing techniques are suitable to improve the utilization of grain amaranth and leaves.

  • Growing Small Grains Organically
    LAKEVIEW ORGANIC GRAIN Box 361, Penn Yan, NY 14527 315-531-1038 MANAGING SMALL GRAINS ORGANICALLY Small grains respond strongly to soil fertility and soil condition. Most small grains will do best in well-drained, fertile soils with a pH of at least 6.0. Barley needs a higher pH (>6.5pH) and oats can tolerate more acidity (>5.8pH) Barley prefers high fertility and dry soil, oats can tolerate lower fertility and wetter fields. More fertile soil that has adequate calcium will definitely give better yields. If possible, spread compost, lime and gypsum in the fall on fields where spring small grains are planned, especially if there is a cover crop to put the amendments on. Fall is also a great time to take soil tests to determine nutrient deficiencies. Oats and rye respond well to manure or compost applications, but putting on too much nitrogen may cause lodging. Fall planted grains need generous amounts of P and K for good fall tillering and winter survival. As soil cools, phosphorus becomes less available making high P levels more important than with summer planted crops. When soil test levels of P and K are low, poultry litter or compost can be spread before planting to prevent deficiencies. When K is very low, spreading some additional potassium fertilizers (potassium sulfate, potassium chloride, SulPoMag, or green sand) may be needed to improve winter survival and prevent lodging. According to European research, barley is an extremely heavy feeder, especially of potassium and phosphorus. High nitrogen levels will reduce potassium uptake, possibly creating a shortage if potash soil levels are moderate.

To promote sustainability and biodiversity conservation, there is a growing interest in some old wheat species that can achieve better grain yields than the new varieties in marginal soil and/or management conditions. Generally, common wheat is intensively studied but there is still a lack of knowledge of the competitiveness of alternative species such as spelt wheat. The aim is to provide detailed analysis of vegetative, generative and spectral properties of spelt and common wheat grown under different nitrogen fertiliser levels. Our results complement the previous findings and highlight the fact that despite the lodging risk increasing together with the N fertiliser level, spelt wheat is a real alternative to common wheat for low N input production both for low quality and fertile soils. Vitality indices such as flag leaf chlorophyll content and normalized difference vegetation index were found to be good precursors of the final yield and the proposed estimation equations may improve the yield forecasting applications.

  • Processing, Nutritional Composition and Health Benefits of Finger Millet
    a OSSN 0101-2061 (Print) Food Science and Technology OSSN 1678-457X (Dnline) DDO: https://doi.org/10.1590/fst.25017 Processing, nutritional composition and health benefits of finger millet in sub-saharan Africa Shonisani Eugenia RAMASHOA1*, Tonna Ashim ANYASO1, Eastonce Tend GWATA2, Stephen MEDDDWS-TAYLDR3, Afam Osrael Dbiefuna JODEANO1 Abstract Finger millet (Eleusine coracana) also known as tamba, is a staple cereal grain in some parts of the world with low income population. The grain is characterized by variations in colour (brown, white and light brown cultivars); high concentration of carbohydrates, dietary fibre, phytochemicals and essential amino acids; presence of essential minerals; as well as a gluten-free status. Finger millet (FM) in terms of nutritional composition, ranks higher than other cereal grains, though the grain is extremely neglected and widely underutilized. Nutritional configuration of FM contributes to reduced risk of diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure and gastro-intestinal tract disorder when absorbed in the body. Utilization of the grain therefore involves traditional and other processing methods such as soaking, malting, cooking, fermentation, popping and radiation. These processes are utilised to improve the dietetic and sensory properties of FM and equally assist in the reduction of anti-nutritional and inhibitory activities of phenols, phytic acids and tannins. However, with little research and innovation on FM as compared to conventional cereals, there is the need for further studies on processing methods, nutritional composition, health benefits and valorization with a view to commercialization of FM grains. Keywords: finger millet; nutritional composition; gluten-free; antioxidant properties; traditional processing; value-added products. Practical Application: Effects of processing on nutritional composition, health benefits and valorization of finger millet grains.
