The objective of this work was to investigate the possibility of triticale application as the partial substitute for malt in wort production. For wort production, two series of experiments were performed in which triticale variety Odyssey, from experimental fields, Rimski Šančevi location (Serbia), was used as the substitute for barley malt in grist with and without the addition of commercial enzyme Ultraflo Max (Novozymes, Denmark). Triticale was added in each of the carried series of experiments as the substitute for malt: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80% in grist. Experiments were carried out on laboratory scale by the application of infusion procedure for wort production. Regarding extract content, triticale variety Odyssey could be used as the substitute for malt up to 60% without the addition of commercial enzyme Ultraflo Max. With the addition of this enzyme triticale variety Odyssey could be used as a substitute for malt up to 80%, regarding the extract content. With the increase in the content of triticale in the grist, viscosity increased. The addition of commercial enzyme Ultraflo Max significantly reduced wort viscosity. The obtained results indicate that worts produced with the addition of triticale variety Odyssey to grist yielded good analytical quality parameters.
