Malt is most often made from barley, sometimes from rye. It is a controlled process of germinating grains followed by stopping the process through heating. Then the grain is roasted to obtain a characteristic flavor and color. Malt is the basis for the production of beer, whiskey, vinegar, and other food products.
The malting process includes soaking the grain, germination, and drying with roasting, which forms a unique aroma and flavor. Barley is transformed into malt, which is the basis for brewing and distillation. Malt can cause cross-allergic reactions due to preserved protein structures. The test helps identify sensitization and develop a treatment plan for allergies related to consumption or contact with malt.
