The mechanisms by which tumbling and abrasion alter enzyme formation in malting grain
M. T. Smith,Dennis E. Briggs +1 more
TL;DR: After applications of gibberellic acid tumbled, impacted and abraded grains formed α-amylase faster than untreated controls as discussed by the authors, and apical abrasion was not essential to achieve this enhanced response.
Journal ArticleDOI
THE DETERMINATION OF BARLEY α‐AMYLASE ACTIVITY
TL;DR: In this paper, the starch-iodine colour (S.I.C.) units of α-amylase activity were re-defined and two improved, alternative methods of calculating results were given, either by a revised graphical procedure used in conjunction with a standard graph, or by a graphical procedure using points calculated from the experimental results with an empirical equation using a programmed electronic calculator.
