Three Hull-less Barley varieties viz. Dolma, BHS-352 and HBL-276 cultivated in higher altitudes of Himachal Pradesh (India) were analyzed for their physicochemical and functional characteristics. The breadth and width of the grains were found to determine the weight of the grains. Among the experimental barley varieties, Dolma variety showed the highest water absorption capacity as it contains greater amount of small granules starch as compared to others. The highest emulsion stability was obtained in BHS-352 barley variety due the greater adherence of protein fraction on its granules. The different parameters like moisture, ash, crude fat, protein, crude fiber, and carbohydrate content were found to be in the range of 7.91-8.97, 2.26-2.64, 2.69-3.24, 12.8-14.2, 2.26-2.81, 71.38-73.75 per cent respectively.
