Three hull-less barleys and three covered barleys grown in Korea were pearled to give 0% and 60% yield, respectively. Whole barleys and pearled barleys were analyzed for total, insoluble, soluble dietary fiber and (3-glucan contents. Whole hull-less barleys contained average 17.1% total dietary fiber, and whole covered barleys contained average 23.9% total dietary fiber. Pearled hull-less barleys contained 9,2% total dietary fiber and 4.8% solule dietary fiber. Pearled covered barleys contained 11.9% total dietary fiber and 6.0% soluble dietary fiber. Whole barleys contained 3.23.9% (3-glucan, and pearled barleys contained 3.5∼5.4% (3-glucan. Soluble dietary fiber and (3-glucan contents of barley were not affected by cooking, while insoluble dietary fiber content was increased by cooking.
