| Abstract: | Based on a filtration manifold from ‘Millipore’ a method was developed which permits the simultaneous investigation of the filterability of up to ten beer samples. Characteristics of the simple apparatus are the use of sheet filters, a vacuum filtration at room temperature and very small sample volumes. An excellent correlation to the differential pressure at the industrial filter was found, demonstrating the reliability of the test for routine applications. The usefulness of the method for research applications was demonstrated in experiments with enzymes improving beer filtration. |
