BENEFITS OF MALT EXTRACT at Mahalaxmi Malt Extract

What is Malt?

Malt- A grain when soaked in water and then dried in a hot oven produces a product known as Malt. So basically barley malt is produced through a process known as Malting in which steeping, germinating and drying of grain is done to convert it into malt.

It develops enzymes which are required for converting the starch present in grain into different types of sugars such as trisaccharide maltotriose, disaccharide, monosaccharide glucose, maltose,, and higher sugars called maltodextrins. Other than these, it also develops enzymes, such as proteases, that break down the proteins in the grain into forms that can be used by yeast.

What is Malt Extract?

Malt extract refers to the amount of soluble material that can be extracted from the malt during mashing
