Composition of raw materials for production
Barley malt, barley, water
Applications
The main area of application of barley-malt extracts is the replacement of traditional and synthetic sugars in baking and the preparation of various sweets and desserts. Due to their high maltose (malt sugar) content, barley malt extracts can be used as a healthier substitute for both traditional sugars such as sucrose, glucose, fructose, or high-fructose syrup and synthetic sugar analogues such as xylitol, sorbitol, or aspartame.
Barley and malt extracts are used to produce the following:
- Bakery products
- Dry breakfast cereal, cereal flakes, and gozinaki (a confection made of nuts and honey)
- Cereal bars, granola, and muesli
- Gingerbread, cookies, crackers, muffins, galettes, and biscuits
- Products for children's, sports, and diabetic nutrition
- Ice cream
- Beer on a shortened cycle
- Barley-based malt whiskies with a shortened production cycle
Purposes of use
Color correction – a natural ingredient as an alternative to chemical dye Caramel Colorant E150
Sweetness correction – as a natural sweetener for baking and the production of non-alcoholic and dairy beverages
Flavor enhancement – to give food and beverages a malt flavor
Extending the shelf life of finished products
Concealment of undesirable flavors and smells
Fermentation activator - barley malt extracts are an excellent fermentation activator in the production of fermented alcoholic beverages such as tinctures and fruit wines due to their content of fermentable and easily digestible maltose.
Extension of shelf life of food and pharmaceutical products – the inclusion of barley malt extract extends the product's shelf life.
