Peter Shewry and Steve Ullrich

The AACC International monographs dedicated to the chemistry and technology of cereals have become the major reference works for cereal chemists, food scientists, and crop scientists alike since the first volume (on wheat, now in its fourth edition) was launched in 1964.

The volume on barley is one of the youngest, being first published in 1993 and edited by Sandy MacGregor and Ron Bhatty. The massive increase in our knowledge over the last two decades has therefore necessitated a complete revision, with only three of the original authors remaining, two of whom provide updates of their previous chapters.

. The reader is referred to the comprehensive account of the earlier studies of barley lipids, and their limitations, provided by Bill Morrison in the first edition.

). These together provide the most detailed account that has been published to date.

, which discuss health benefits and nonfood uses of barley, respectively. Both of these topics have been widely discussed over the last decades, and these chapters provide topical and critical accounts of our current knowledge and further prospects.

We have found it a pleasure to work with a distinguished group of authors and particularly thank those who contributed chapters at short notice. We also thank the editorial staff at the AACC International for their support and their trademark high quality of production, while Peter Shewry would particularly like to thank Helen Jenkins at Rothamsted Research for her assistance. The volume has been a labor of love for us, and we hope that you enjoy reading and using it.
