description Wheat of medium hardness with marbled endosperm (transitional form between hard and soft wheat) in which glassy and floury zones alternate, form almost exclusively available assortment for brewing needs in Southeastern Europe. The aim of this work is to establish the influence of the grain texture and the degree of milling on the attenuation limit of wheat wort obtained from this type of wheat. Wheat worts using hard, soft transitional, or marbled endosperm texture were produced. The indicators of proteolysis, cytolysis, and amylolysis were determined, with regard to the parameter attenuation limit (AL) or fermentability. From the results for the tested parameters, it was established that despite similar starting values for the most important quality parameters, transitional wheat produces significantly different wort, both among themselves and in comparison with hard and soft wheat, and also when looking at the results for different milling degree (fine or coarse). The obtained values for the attenuation limit for transition wheat are similar or even better when compared to soft wheat, with satisfactory values for almost all examined quality parameters of wort. It can be concluded that a transitional type of wheat can be used just as well as unmalted raw material for the production of wort, as well as a raw material for malting.
