“There is an amazing number of goodies in the corn kernel. Right now wet-millers collectively are able to derive 40 different revenue streams from wet-milled corn. By contrast, dry grind plants make ethanol, dried distillers grains, and solubles.” -Jerry Larson, Minnesota Corn Research and Promotion Council

A Kernel of A Kernel of Hulless Hulless Waxy BarleyWaxy Barley
“Thinking Outside the Kernel”
Longitudinal section of a kernel of Hulless Waxy Barley enlarged approximately 30 times
The Germ makes up about 2½% of the kernel. This is the embryo, or sprouting part of the seed. It can be separated and recovered as it contains fats and nutrients that have important nutraceutical value. Germ contains little protein or B-complex Vitamins, however it is high in thiamine.
The Bran Layers comprise about 14½% of the kernel. The Bran Layers contain Dietary Fiber and many important nutrients. The bran contains less than 20% of the protein, but the majority of the niacin and B-complex vitamins. For human and animal use, these nutrients are readily available in the digestive tract.
Comprises approximately 83% of the kernel. The Endosperm contains most of the barley protein and beta-glucan; there are also B-complex vitamins. The Endosperm is the starchy white interior of the kernel.

Beta-GlucansHow Do They Work?
Beta-GlucansHow Do They Work?
Lowering LDL cholesterol andtrigylercerides can help reduce the chances of a stroke
Beta-glucan molecules act as stimulators for key immune cells and can aid the work of the immunesystem
When consumed prior to a meal, a feeling of fullness can be experienced as Beta-glucan soluble fiber expands in the stomach and reduces your appetite
Beta-glucans slow the rate of absorption of glucose (sugar) into the blood stream, helping to moderate highs and lows of blood sugar that affect energy levels and are especially harmful to diabetics
Beta-glucans are fermented by the healthy bifidobacteria and lactobacillus bacteria in the colon. The by-product of this important process is the biochemicals that form the key building blocks for the immune system. There is also evidence of a protection effect against colon cancer
Beta-glucan soluble fiber can help to lower the LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood, both known to be major risk factors for cardiovascular disease
Beta-glucan is non-digestible and travels through the stomach and small intestine without providing calories or extra nutrients
In the small intestine, beta-glucans do their best work, binding lipids (fats that can become cholesterol), bile acids, sugars, and toxins and helping sweep them out of the body
These soluble fibers absorb many times their weight in water and help to keep your digestive tract healthy and regular
Anti-oxidant effects from beta-glucans, certain vitamins, and flavonoids can protect against tissue damaging free radicals that contribute to aging and to many chronic diseases

On December 23, 2005, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized use of a health claim for the role of beta-glucan soluble fiber from barley in reducing the risk of coronary heart disease helping reduce cholesterol.
On December 23, 2005, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized use of a health claim for the role of beta-glucan soluble fiber from barley in reducing the risk of coronary heart disease helping reduce cholesterol.
Authorized use of the claim in barley food labeling was effective immediately. The FDA identified several sources of barley beta-glucan soluble fiber that are eligible for the claim:
whole grain barley barley bran
barley flakes barley gritsbarley flour barley meal
sieved barley meal pearl barley
Barley has a distinct advantage over some other grains in that beta-glucans soluble fiber is found throughout the entire barley kernel, whereas in some other grains, the fiber is only found in the outer bran layer. If these grains are processed, the fiber can be easily lost.
This is not the case with barley. Since the fiber is found throughout the barley kernel, even refined products such as barley flour contain beta-glucan soluble fiber, making barley a versatile and heart-healthy ingredient for commercial food applications.
