Abstract
Malt, lager, brown ale, bitter and stout were assessed for their barley prolamin (hordein) content. Monoclonal antibody immunoperoxidase staining of electrophoretically separated samples of beer revealed the presence of immunoreactive hordein. Polyclonal antibody based enzyme linked immunosorbant assays (ELISAs) revealed 1.6 mg of hordein per gram of malt and 1.5 mg per pint in the beers. Patients with coeliac disease should avoid ingestion of beer and foods that contain malt since they contain quantifiable amounts of hordein that is known to exacerbate the condition.Entities:
