The Perten Falling Number method is a fast and easy test to determine alpha-amylase activity in order to detect sprout damage in both flour and meal of wheat, durum, rye, barley, and other grains and malted cereals. Sprout damage is caused by alpha-amylase, which is a naturally occurring enzyme in grain that increases in concentration during wet harvests.
