What it is
Barley malt is a sweetener made from barley grains that have been germinated and then dried. This process converts starches into sugars, primarily maltose. It is often used in its liquid extract form.
Why it's used
Barley malt extract is used as a flavoring agent and sweetener, adding a distinct malty taste and light brown color. It also contributes to browning and can act as a yeast nutrient in baked goods like breads, cakes, and cookies.
Health notes
Barley malt extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated barley malt and its components. No significant health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical dietary levels.
Allergen info
Barley is a grain and contains gluten. Therefore, barley malt is not gluten-free and is unsuitable for individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens.
