Bioprotective cultures for barley
During the malting process, fungi naturally present in barley and the malting environment can proliferate and lead to grain contamination by toxic metabolites such as trichotecene deoxyvalenol (D.O.N.) and ochratoxin. These can affect the safety of raw ingredients used in malt and beer production.
In order to prevent the economic loss and public health problems associated with these mycotoxins, adding selected Geotrichum candidum starters to the steeping water can inhibit toxin synthesis.
Cargill’s starter cultures can improve brew house yield and lautertun performance, improve bio-control during the malting process and provide more homogeneous endosperm cell wall modification. Cargill’s starter cultures can improve the quality of your finished beer product.
