Extraction of Carbohydrates and Phenolics from Barley Hull using Pressurized/Subcritical Fluids
DownloadSpring 2013
Canada is one of the largest barley producers, generating barley hull which accounts for 10-13% wt of the grain. Barley hull has valuable components, such as carbohydrates and phenolics. This thesis studied the extraction of total carbohydrates and phenolics from the hull of a new barley variety...
