| Abstract | Water movement in barley kernels during kilning was noninvasively monitored by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using two model systems. Micromalting experiments of a hulled (Harrington) and a hull-less (CDC Dawn) variety were performed to study the general difference in kernel water redistribution. Samples were selected at different times throughout the kilning stage to obtain the kernel dehydration pattern as a function of kilning time. During kilning, it was shown that parts of the kernels previously showing active metabolism, including the embryo and roots and shoots, retained water the longest. Although the two varieties show significant differences in water redistribution during kilning, the final product does not significantly differ in moisture content. |
