Abstract:Background and ObjectivesStarch is the main component of malting barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), and its physical and chemical characteristics are particularly important in further processing in the beverage industry. This study investigates how the parameters (i) growing temperature (high/low) and (ii) water deficit (drought stress) during grain filling affect starch characteristics by cultivating nine different commonly used malting barley varieties in greenhouses under defined conditions.
