Falling Number
Alpha-amylase activity has great influence upon the quality
of baked goods, pasta, and noodles. Sprout damage is caused
by alpha-amylase, which is a naturally occurring enzyme in
grain that increases in concentration during wet harvests. The
Falling Number (FN) method is a fast and easy test to determine
alpha-amylase activity in order to detect sprout damage. The
Perten Instruments FN method is the World Wide Standard
for measuring alpha-amylase activity in both flour and meal
of wheat, durum, rye, barley, other grains and malted cereals.
