Valley Cottage, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/11/2019 -- The use of cereal to make beer can be traced back to the beginning of the civilization. The unmalted adjunct used to make beer is called torrified wheat. The term 'torrified' in the torrified wheat refers to the treatment that is subjected to the wheat while making beer. This treatment involves the subjection of wheat kernels to temperatures as high as 85°C. This treatment is basically called torrification and is essential to gelatinize the starch present in wheat. This treatment breaks down the cellular structure of wheat and pre-gelatinizes the starch. The end product obtained is torrified wheat from which fermentable sugar can be extracted easily by a brewer. The market for torrified wheat has great growth potential as its major application is in the production of beer which is preferred by one and all in most of the regions of the world.

Increasing Popularity of Torrified Wheat in the Craft Beer Market

The characteristics of torrified wheat make it ideal and efficient to be used in beer. The gelatinization of torrified wheat makes starch easily digestible and soluble by the enzymes that occur naturally in malt. This allows torrified wheat to be incorporated directly into mash with other grains. Use of torrified wheat in beer adds a unique and subtle flavor. Hence, brewers are now using torrified wheat instead of wheat malt to make wheat beer. The higher protein content in torrified wheat adds body to the beer and brings stability in the foam. Such properties are popularizing the use of torrified wheat in Belgian Wit Beer, ales, and other wheat beers. Thus, the market for torrified wheat is growing and is expected to grow further because of the rising demand for new flavors in beer.
