In order to evaluate the utilization of immature green barley kernels as food processing material, these experiments were carried out to analyze free sugars, free amino acids, mineral contents and color of two naked barley varieties according to their heading dates. Contents such as moisture, protein, fat, ash, and free sugars were gradually decreased according to the days after heading of the nonwaxy naked barley 'Saessalbori' and waxy naked barley 'Hinchalssalbori', while crude fiber and starch were gradually increased. Contents like maltose and maltotriose in immature green kernels were high, but free amino acids showed a tendency to decrease, among which the alanine content was the highest. As barley matured, beta-glucan content, redness and yellowness increased, while lightness decreased. Considering chemical composition and color, the immature green cereals were produced through blanching the spikes harvested before the yellow ripe stage around $26{\sim}27$ days after heading. The optimum duration of harvest was very limited to produce green whole grains. The harvested green barley cereals is able to eat raw barley or cook it as food processing material.

The production of ethanol by microbial fermentation as an alternative energy source has been of interest because of increasing oil price. Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Zymomonas mobilis are two of the most widely used ethanol producers. In this study, characteristics of ethanol fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae CHY1077 and Zymomonas mobilis CHZ2501 was compared. Brown rice, naked barley, and cassava were selected as representatives of the starch-based raw materials commercially available for ethanol production. The volumetric ethanol productivities by Saccharomyces cerevisiae from brown rice, naked barley and cassava were $0.68g/l{\cdot}h$, $1.03g/l{\cdot}h$ and $1.28g/l{\cdot}h$ respectively. But for the Zymomonas mobilis, $2.19g/l{\cdot}h$(brown rice), $2.60g/l{\cdot}h$(naked barley) and $3.12g/l{\cdot}h$(cassava) were obtained. Zymomonas mobilis was more efficient strain for ethanol production than S. cerevisiae.

The catalytic activities of immobilized gIucoamylase in a packed bed column and a continuous stirred tank reactor have been compared. Rapid production of glucose from liquefied starch have been studied through, the continuous liquefaction and saccharification using settling chamber. The immobilized glucoamylase with chitin gave the saccharification yield of 20% with the dextrin concentration of 100 g/l in a residence of 20 min. in a packed bed column. The half-life of immobilized glucoamylase with chitin was 19 days. The glucoamyalse immobilized in chitin and encapsulated with Ca-alginate gave the saccharification yield of 6% with the dextrin concentration of 50 g/l in a residence of 20 min. in a packed bed column. The Ca-alginate encapsulated and chitin immobilized glucomylase had a half-life of 25 days, which is 6 day larger than that of the immobilized glucoamylase with chitin only. In continuous liquefaction and saccharification, the glucose yield was 17% for the liquefied starch with naked barley concentration of 50gA in a residence of 20 min.

We investigated the possibility of industrial application and economit process of high temperature fermentation by thermotolerant alcohol producing yeasts as previously reported. From the 20% glucose media, the RA-74-2 produced 11.8% (v/v) ethanol at $32^{\circ}C$ (0.5% inoculum) and 10.6% (v/v) ethanol at $40^{\circ}C$ (3% inoculum), respectively. Also, 11.3% (v/v) ethanol was produced for 96 hours in the temperature-gradient fermentation. These results suggest that the RA-74-2 could isuccessfully be applied to save the cooling water and energy in industrial scale without re-investment or modification of established fermentation systems. When potato starch was used as the substrate for the RA-74-2, high temperature fermentation above $40^{\circ}C$ was more appropriate for industrial utilization because organic nitrogen was not necessary to economical fermentation. As the naked barley media just prior to industrial inoculation, taken from the Poongkuk alcohol industry Co., were used, 9.6% (v/v) ethanol was produced at $40^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours in jar-fermentor scale (actually, 9.5-9.8% (v/v) ethanol was produced at 30~$32^{\circ}C$ for 100 hours in industrial scale). The ethanol productivity was increased by the high glucoamylase activity as well as the high metabolic ratio at $40^{\circ}C$ Therefore, if the thermotolerant yeast RA-74-2 would be used in industrial scale, we could obtain a high productivity and saving of the cooling water and energy. Meanwhile, the RA-912 produced 6%(v/v) ethanol in 10% glucose media at $45^{\circ}C$ and showed the less ethanol-tolerance compared with industrial strains. As the produced alcohol was recovered by the vacuum evaporator at $45^{\circ}C$ in 15% glucose media, the final fermentation ratio was enhanced (76% of theoretical yields). This suggest that a hyperproductive process could be achieved by a continuous input of the substrate and continuous recovery of the product under vacuum in high cell-density culture.

Hulled and naked oat is a perspective crop for the low input production systems due to its low requirements for soil quality and nutrition. Oats have good competitive ability against weeds and can provide appropriate yield in organic farming in comparison with other cereal species such as wheat or barley. It is a perspective crop from the point of view of use in the food industry too. The aim of our study was to compare the production and quality parameters of naked and hulled oat grown in both organic (OF) and conventional fields (CF). Small plot trials were conducted in two locations in the Czech Republic (České Budějovice, Prague) for four years (2018-2021) in two production systems (OF, and CF). We used four varieties of hulled oat (Korok, Kertag, Raven, Seldon) and one variety of naked oat (Patrik). During the vegetation, agronomically important data were recorded. After harvest samples were processed in the laboratory and analyzed selected quality parameters of grain dry matter (the protein content was determined by the Kjeldahl method, starch content in grain according to Ewers, fat content in grain dry matter by the modified method according to Soxhlet, and ash content in grain dry matter). The data were evaluated using the program STATISTICA version 13.2, StatSoft, Inc., California, USA. It is clear from the results that the number of panicles before the harvest was influenced by the location, cultivation system, year, and, to a lesser extent, the influence of the variety. The number of panicles in OF averaged 340 per square meter, which was 90% of the value of CF. For thousand grain weight (TGW), a significantly predominant effect of year was found. The independent effect of location on TGW was statistically not significant. Grain yield was predominantly influenced by cultivation system and location. In OF, it reached an average of 3.97 t.ha^-1, which was 75% of the yield of CF. As part of the evaluation of the basic grain quality indicators, the content of protein, starch, fat, and ash in the dry matter of the grain was evaluated. The content of protein in the dry matter of the grain was predominantly influenced by year, followed by the influence of the variety and a fairly comparable influence of the cultivation system and locality. On average, it achieved 16.05% in OF and 17.01% in CF. The starch content was then related to the protein content, where as a result of the lower protein content in the grain of OF oats, the content of starch and fat was on the contrary increased. The year turned out to be the most significant factor, affecting both the starch content in the dry matter of the grain and the fat content. This was followed again by a fairly comparable influence on the cultivation system and locality. The influence of the cultivation system and location was not statistically significantly applied in the case of ash content in dry matter. Based on our results we can propose both types of oat (hulled and naked) as perspective crops for OF. An organic farmer can expect to achieve stable yields which, in less favorable conditions for the production of cereals in the OF, may be close to the level of conventional yields. In the future, it will be important to change agrotechnology in OF and increase oat yield because this crop has a good potential to grow in areas with low nitrogen input or less fertile soil.

The amounts of husk materials from barley kernel were determined by an enzymatic method and compared with the values determined by conventional methods involving acid or alkaline treatments. The enzymatic method consists of boiling in distilled water and pressing to help squeeze out the gelatinized starch from the husk matrix, and enzymatic removal of starch by ${\alpha}-amylase$ and weighing the residual husk materials after washing 3 times with hot water and then drying at $95^{\circ}C$. Husk materials amounted about 15 of the covered barley (Gangbori and Olbori) and 10-12% of naked variety (Backdong and Sedohadaga) and the values were always somewhat higher than those obtained by the conventional methods. The husk materials prepared by the enzymatic procedure contained protein 4-8%, lipid 5-10%, ash 0.2-0.6% and crude fiber 20-40%. Although it took longer time, the enzymatic procedures can provide more intack husk materials for further characterization of the materials.

These studies were, aimed at clarifying the relationship between the spring(winter) habits and the metabolism during the differentiation and development of young spike in naked barley. The pattern of change of nucleic phosphorus was paralleled to that of insoluble nitrogen in the normal heading type, showing their increase in the young spike and their decrease in the leaf at the stage of double ridges differentiation, respectively. However, in the rosetted type nucleic phosphorus remained at a constantly low level in both the young spike and the leaf, and insoluble nitrogen showed a considerably lower content in the young spike but a remarkable higher content in the leaf than that of the normal type. In addition to nucleic phosphorus and insoluble nitrogen, there were significant differences between the normal and the rosetted type in the content levels of PCA-soluble phosphorus, nonreducing sugar, crude starch and so on. Particularly, these differences were found even in the stage of bract differentiation, the vegetative phase, as well as in the reproductive phase. It appeared that nucleic phosphorus and insoluble nitrogen were closely concerned with the differentiation of double ridges, regardless of the varieties which are different in their spring habits.
