The Effects of Enzyme-rich Malt Extract on Chronic Constipation

Enzyme-rich malt extract (ERME) is a by-product of the malting process in which the cereal grain barley is dried. The ingredients are 100% barley malt extract. It smells and tastes sweet, with a runny jam-like texture. Malt extract has been used as a food stuff in baking and cookery for many years, but ERME is extracted by means which retains more active enzymes, such as amylase.
