Malt Analytes (MAPS)
"Our malt analytes proficency testing scheme: enabling accurate analysis of a complex product"
A complex ingredient, malt is at the heart of the distilling and brewing processes: providing most of the sugars and complex carbohydrates that produce alcohol and flavour in the final product.
Meeting demanding specifications laid down by brewers and distillers is critical to any maltster’s business and depends greatly on the quality of the malting barley. Accurate laboratory analysis is therefore essential, since it will ultimately decide if the malt is suitable for use in production.
LGC AXIO Proficiency Testing has designed the MAPS Malt Analytes Proficiency Testing scheme to help your laboratory meet the specific challenges associated with malts. MAPS supports the European Brewing Convention (EBC), American Society of Brewing Chemists (ASBC), and Institute of Brewing and Distilling (IBD) methods, and also provides a wide spectrum of samples – including raw and malted barleys, dark and crystal malts, plus malted wheat and other cereals. Specialised samples and target analytes include high diastatic power malt and potential contaminants (mycotoxins, NDMA).
