Water intended for use as an ingredient in the production of beer (brewing liquor) or other foods
For determination of the dry residue in water after filtration, a certain quantity of filtrate is evaporated until dry. It is subsequently dried in a drying oven to eliminate any remaining moisture.
Water intended for use as an ingredient in the production of beer (brewing liquor) or other foods
A specified quantity of water is evaporated, and any remaining moisture is subsequently eliminated in a drying oven. The dry residue is then weighed.
The method is suitable for the determination of water vapor volatile aroma compounds in beer.
Volatile aroma compounds are driven out of the sample through steam distillation. The ethanolic distillate is saturated with NaCl. Potassium hydrogen sulfite is added to separate carbonyl groups that might interfere with the analysis. The extraction of the aroma compounds is performed by shaking out with dichloromethane and the phases separated by centrifuging.
