The current article considers the question of whether vaporescence during wort boiling affects evaporation via the vapour side mass transport. Thereby the vaporization of unwanted flavour components (such as dimethyl sulphide or benzaldehyde) can be influenced negatively or positively, which affects the amount of energy needed. The question is pursued by pre‐calculation and experimental validation of the vapour side mass stream at the evaporation surface: for that purpose vaporescence trials were carried out in a plant trial, with both benzaldehyde and water as pure substances and a mixture of benzaldehyde and water in an infinite solution (xi < 10−6). Trial parameters were process temperature and volume stream of the gas phase. The results obtained by the trials with pure substances enable pre‐calculation of vapour side mass transport. Then, pre‐calculation is compared with the results of the mixture trials and thus verified. As a result it has to be stated that vaporescence in the brew houses is pre‐calculable and that the mass transport has an impact on the vaporescence at the vapour side boundary layer.

Sladký P., Koukol R. (2010): Comparison of hazes in freshly bottled and aged beers by multiple angle turbidimetry. Czech J. Food Sci., 28: 36-43.The hazes of freshly bottled and aged pale lager beers determined with the 12° and 90° dual angle laboratory hazemeters and 10° to 90° range photogoniometer were compared and evaluated. The instruments were standardised in EBC formazin units. In freshly bottled beer, the forward (12°-25°) haze values were smaller approximately by a factor of three than the nephelometric (90°) values which yielded 0.33 EBC units. In aged beer, the forward haze was greater than the nephelometric one. Whereas the aged beer showed the greatest and the fresh beer the lowest intensity of scattered light, the formazin suspension intensity was in between. Due to the standardisation of the beer scattered intensities by relation to that of formazin, the standardised nephelometric haze in non-aged beer was greater than the forward haze, and vice versa in aged beer. The greater forward than the nephelometric haze in aged beer was caused by the growth of haze particles above the mean size of formazin particles which was larger than 2 µm as confirmed by the particle size distribution measurement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
