The New Tepral Method for Malt Extract Determination

Abstract

The methods of analysis generally used for malt extract involve filtration of the mash at room temperature. We have shown that filtration at 75° C is a useful method able to provide information relevant to the performance of malt in industrial liquid-solid separations. Systematic study allowed determination of the discriminating parameters for filtration, which permitted filtration time and pressure to be optimized during various steps of the filtration and sparging process. A model equation was developed.
