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
