ABSTRACT
β-Glucan, the representative dietary fibre component of barley,
has received much attention, primarily due to its nutritional significance.
In this study, β-glucans prepared from barley pearling byproducts
were characterized with respect to their molecular weight, solubility
and viscosity. Following the initial alkaline extraction, the crude
β-glucan extract (45% purity) was further purified to approximately
90%. The isolated β-glucans exhibited a wide molecular weight
range with peak molecular weight of less than 1 × 106 daltons.
Solubilities of crude and purified β-glucans in water were
lower than that of β-glucan in the native barley pearling byproducts.
However, the aqueous solubility of purified β-glucan from pearlings
was substantially higher than that of commercial β-glucan.
Compared to the latter, purified β-glucan exhibited low apparent
viscosity in aqueous solutions.
Keywords: Barley; β-glucan; molecular weight distribution; pearling
byproduct; solubility; viscosity
ABSTRAK
β-Glukan, komponen wakil serabut diet barli telah mendapat banyak
perhatian, terutamanya disebabkan oleh kepentingan pemakanan. Dalam
kajian ini, β-glukan yang disediakan daripada hasil sampingan
hampas barli telah dicirikan dengan berat molekul, keterlarutan
dan kelikatan. Mengikut pengekstrakan beralkali asal, ekstrak mentah
β-glukan (45% ketulenan) telah dimurnikan lagi sehingga 90%.
β-glukan yang dipencilkan mempamerkan pelbagai julat berat
molekul dengan puncak berat molekul kurang daripada 1 × 106 dalton. Keterlarutan β-glukan mentah dan tulen dalam
air adalah lebih rendah daripada β-glukan dalam bahan sampingan
hampas barli asli. Walau bagaimanapun, kebolehlarutan akueus β-glukan
tulen daripada hampas adalah tinggi daripada β-glukan komersial.
Berbanding dengan kedua, β-glukan tulen menunjukkan kelikatan
yang rendah dalam larutan akueus.
