Haze was collected from fresh beer by centrifugation (Haze 1), and the water-soluble portion (over 90% of the total weight) was isolated (Haze 2). Water-soluble portions of hazes from an aged beer (Haze 3) and from a beer forced at 60° C for 72 hr (Haze 4) were also isolated. Phenolic concentrates of Hazes 1-4 (Preparations 5-8) were prepared by acid-alkali treatment followed by ether extraction. Phenolic compounds were then separated by high performance liquid chromatography on a Microbondapack Cig column. Eleven phenolic acids, two flavonols (quercetin and kaempferol), D-catechin, and L-epicatechin, were identified and quantified in the hazes. Carbohydrates were separated on an Aminex HPX-87 column, and glucose, maltose, fructose, and a dextrin determined after Sep-pack treatment.
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.
