Abstract: Abstract Traditional sorghum beer processing based on uncontrolled malting and mashing conditions limits significant saccharification. We optimized the amylase activity of west African sorghum to improve saccharification. Furthermore, we bio-acidified the mash with Lactobacillus plantarum… read more here.
