Job Details
This project will study the enzymology of the mashing process in beer manufacture. Barley malt contains a population of enzymes that modulate the mashing process and directly affect wort (and eventually beer) quality. This project will study the thermal stability of endogenous barley-derived enzymes using differential scanning calorimetry and enzyme activity using isothermal titration calorimetry. A model will be produced to guide the mashing process to produce different types of beer. Addition of heat-stable commercial enzymes will also be investigated to improve the mash process beyond that possible relying solely on barley-derived enzymes.
