METHOD FOR SELECTION OF BARLEY SPECIES FOR FERMENTED MALT BEVERAGE, AND FERMENTED MALT BEVERAGE

摘要

A selection method for selecting a barley species for a fermented malt beverage having excellent head-retaining properties, which comprises: identifying the genotype of at least one DNA marker that is specified by the alignment of (a) the nucleotide sequence for a region around Haruna-type barley protein Z4 genetic locus with (b) the nucleotide sequence for a region around Copeland-type barley protein Z4 genetic locus in barley species to be tested; and selecting a barley species of which the genotype corresponds with the Copeland-type genotype as a barley species having excellent head-retaining properties.
