2. Polarized Raman Spectroscopy (PRS) Vibrational spectroscopy technique for Chemical and Physical analysis of materials (0.6-1μm resol., non-destructive) Raman mean spectra of a starch granule (native barley) of an area depicted as blue square on the starch granule sketch.

3. ferulic acid non-starch carbohydrates native malted starchprotein Raman images of compounds present in the interface aleurone layer-endosperm in barley seed (Multivariate analysis).

4. A) Optical microscopy image of the endosperm in native barley. B) Raman image of the area band ratio 865cm -1 /485 cm -1 at 0 o polarization angle of the laser. C) Raman image of the area ratio of bands 865 cm - 1 /485cm -1 at 90 o polarization angle of the laser. Polarization measurements in starch granules
