Funded Activity Summary
Barley malt modification, its control by understanding the biochemistry and genetics of proteases and thioredoxin. Australia is a major world exporter of malting barley (~2 millon t/pa) and malt (800,000 t/pa), primarily to the rapidly expanding Asian economic development region. An additional 200,000 t/pa of malt is provided to the Australian domestic brewing industry. By improving the quality of Australian malting barley and optimising its production, we expect higher demand and prices for Australian malting barley and malt. This will help support the viability of rural communities and the value adding involved in the malting and brewing of their produce in Australia.Funded Activity Details
