2.1. Milling of hulled barley and wheat
From our previous study carried out on eight different hulled barley cultivars we selected the
barley cultivar PL-172 for cookie making because it contained higher amount of total b-glucan and is most commonly grown in North India.
Barley was dehusked as described
by Sharma and Gujral (2010b) and milled in a stone mill (Amar
Industries, Amritsar, India) to obtain whole barley flour.
