Raw Material for Barley Production

According to the barley production cost report, the major raw materials for barley production include Barley Seeds-Sulfur dioxide (for bleaching).

Manufacturing Process of Barley

The extensive Barley production cost report consists of this major industrial manufacturing process:

• Production via Cleaning, Bleaching, Hulling, and Polishing: Barley grain processing involves hulling, polishing, bleaching, and cleaning. The first step in the procedure is to clean the harvested barley and separate the grain from any foreign objects, such as dirt, grass, dust, or stones. After cleaning, the grain is dried or dampened to preserve 15% moisture, a process known as conditioning. The grains are then dispatched for steam and sulfur dioxide bleaching after being cleaned and conditioned. The bleached barley is sent for blocking, peeling, or hulling after being let to rest for 12 to 24 hours. This process separates the outer kernels from the barley, resulting in pearl barley, which is then polished and flaked.

Barley (Hordeum vulgare) is a delicious, fibre-rich ancient cereal grain belonging to the grass family Poaceae and its edible grain. It is among the largest grain crop and is grown in various regions.

Whole grain barley offers nutrients like vitamins, fibre, and minerals. It is mainly available in a hulled and pearled variety. Hulled barley goes through minimum processing removing just the inedible outer shell, leaving the bran and germ intact, and Pearled barley has no hull or bran. It has a nutty taste and is rich in carbohydrates, with some quantities of protein, calcium, and phosphorus and some amount of B vitamins, including niacin, thiamine, and pyridoxine (vitamin B-6). It also has beta-glucans, which are a kind of fibre.
