Possible checking of stabilizing methods and optimization of colloidal stability of beer in practice.Peer-reviewed article

J. ŠKACH, J. VÝBORSKÝ, A. MIKYŠKA, T. ŠRUMA

A brief review of methods that are used for the checking of the colloidal stability of beer is mentioned. Further, a procedure of  "the model stabilizing filtration" which permits an evaluation of adsorption stabilizing compounds under strictly defined conditions comparable with those at the plant application is described. This procedure permits to prepare up to 30 bottles of coloidaly stabilized beer for an analytical and sensorial evaluation. The efficiency of different preparates as well as the optimization of their mixture on the adsorption of protein and polyphenol precursors of colloidal haze are shown in individual examples.
