Malt granules

Malt granules

Malt granules are granules produced from malt, dried liquid wort, which is used for beverages and food. Malt granules are dissolved in water before use in a range of different applications and processes.

Production

The first step in malt granule production is to produce a wort in a brewery. This wort is then dried (using a process such as the fluid bed technique[1]), yielding the wort in a dried, granular form. Dissolving these granules will reproduce the original wort, retaining aroma compounds. This reconstituted wort can then be used in further brewing processes.

Processing

Malt granules can be used in fermentation plants in the brewing or destilling industry, as well as for soft drink manufacture.

Applications

  • Functional beverage
  • Malt beverages with different flavors (e.g. Malta (soft drink))
  • Energy-Drinks (with malt-sugar)
  • Milk (e.g. Malted milk)
  • Non-alcoholic beer (0,0% alcohol)
  • Addition to capacity

Advantages

The advantage for said method for the production of granulates is that no loss of quality in the wort occurs during suitable temperature changes during the drying. The granulate can thus be coated with one or several further coatings, in particular with further flavourings. Above all flavourings can be encapsulated within the dried wort, such that the above is not lost on storage and possible transport.[2]
