Currently, one of the biggest problems in the malting and brewing industry is fungal contamination of raw materials. Specifically, the infection of barley by filamentous fungi (molds) causes many problems (Fusarium head blight, mycotoxin and hydrophobin production), because the molds have ideal growth conditions during the malting process. To suppress the undesirable mold growth, chemical, physical, and biological methods can be used. One such biological method is the use of Pythium oligandrum as starter culture during malting process. In this study, we compare the effectiveness of P. oligandrum and Geotrichum candidum which is currently used as starter culture.
