steps, removing a total of 37 <strong>and</strong> 46% of the kernel weight of the English <strong>and</strong><br />

Italian barleys, respectively. The first two pearling fractions, representing about<br />

10% of the kernel weight, were very high in TDF <strong>and</strong> insoluble dietary fiber (IDF)<br />

<strong>and</strong> low in β-glucans, components that are representative of fiber <strong>and</strong> β-glucan<br />

levels in the hull. Protein concentration in the first fraction of both barleys was<br />

the lowest of the five, but increased in fractions 2 to 4 with a slight decrease in the<br />

final fraction. Pearling did not always affect the β-glucan content of pearl barley<br />

significantly, although a general trend was found of increased β-glucan levels<br />

with each pearling in both the English <strong>and</strong> Italian barley. These data are shown<br />

in Table 5.2. These results are somewhat in contrast to the data reported by Zheng<br />

et al. (2000) <strong>for</strong> nonwaxy barley, although the latter research was with hulless<br />

barley, which may react differently from hulled barley. Protein, fat, ash, fiber,<br />

<strong>and</strong> digestible carbohydrate (starch <strong>and</strong> sugars) levels in pearlings, <strong>and</strong> pearled<br />

barley obtained with the industrial pearling process, followed the pattern reported
