The carbohydrate content of Hordeum spotaneum lines collected from 23 diverse environments in Israel was investigated. The range in composition was sucrose: 0.83—1.15%; trisaccharides): 0.48—1.16% total free and combined fructose: 1.2—4.2%; pentosans: 4.2—9.9%; and fl→3), (1→4)‐β‐glucans: 4.5—13.2%. The high pentosan and β‐glucan content in some lines would cause quality problems if found in malting barleys.
