The substrates are enzymically treated to yield the required viscosity (20 ~ 30 cSt). Modification of the viscosity of beta-glucan is required for IOB viscometric malt beta-glucanase test (which works well).
Both substrates; barley beta-glucan and wheat arabinoxylan, are standardised to a specific viscosity, e.g. 23-24 cSt. Are the substrates adjusted to give this viscosity?
