Is Barley Amylase Gluten Free. Materials and methods i followed the basic procedure for the temperature lab and the ph lab for the experiment of determining the optimal temperature and ph. This enzyme has been found useful in the making of gluten free beer from gluten free grain and malt.
Unfortunately, this fact presents a very real roadblock to those who love beer but suffer from gluten intolerance or celiac disease. Malted wheat or barley flour is added at the mill, or diastatic malt syrup can be added at the bakery. For example, human digestive enzymes work best at approximately 98f.
Barley malt is tested for gluten using one of the elisa wheat gluten test and one over estimates the gluten content and the other under estimates the gluten content.
If it's purified enough it could be considered to be gluten free just like other purified gluten grain derived products like. Unfortunately, this fact presents a very real roadblock to those who love beer but suffer from gluten intolerance or celiac disease. I will try again w/ the conversions of corn starch to fermentable sugar w/o barley (or any other gluten carrying product) but this one was a total flop as far as gluten free is concerned. Barley may also result in occupational allergy in bakery and other food industry workers, liqueur and spirit manufacturers, and farmers.
