Popis: Diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy was used to study isothermal degradation of crude barley protein, that was obtained as a side product of alcohol production. The isothermal temperatures used were in the range 50–150° C. Before analysis the protein fraction was dried either by lyophilization or spray drying. The drying method did not have a major effect on the subsequent isothermal degradation of the material. The main reactions observed in the spectra were oxidation indicated by the appearance of a broad composite carbonyl band and degradation of both proteins and starch. The reactions were visible already in the spectra taken at 70° C and there rates gradually increased as the temperature was raised to 150° C.
