Three hull-less barleys and three covered barleys grown in Korea were pearled to give 0% and 60% yield, respectively. Whole barleys and pearled barleys were analyzed for total, insoluble, soluble dietary fiber and ${eta}-glucan$ contents. Whole hull-less barleys contained average 17.1% total dietary fiber, and whole covered barleys contained average 23.9% total dietary fiber. Pearled hull-less barleys contained 9,2% total dietary fiber and 4.8% solule dietary fiber. Pearled covered barleys contained 11.9% total dietary fiber and 6.0% soluble dietary fiber. Whole barleys contained $3.2{sim}3.9%$ (${eta}-glucan$, and pearled barleys contained $3.5{sim}5.4%$ (${eta}-glucan$. Soluble dietary fiber and (${eta}-glucan$ contents of barley were not affected by cooking, while insoluble dietary fiber content was increased by cooking.
