The Jaccard method permits to evaluate numerically the similarity of various strains of yeast by applying a simple coefficient and to code their signs. From several methods which are used at present for elaborating yeast dendrograms one, based on the calculations of mean values for whole groups, can be recommended as a well - proven, reliable and simple.(In Slovak, English summary only)

The so called neutron method of measuring moisture content in organic matters is based upon the phenomenon of the deceleration of neutrons through their interaction with mass. The method is well proven as far as loose or pulverized substances are concerned. Experiments carried out with malt indicate, that the method has certain advantages and - if duly modified -  could be applied at breweries for measuring the moisture content of malt in drying kilns.(In Czech, English summary only)

Application of δ-resins in brewing industry.Peer-reviewed article

The article deals with the comparison of two brewing of beer of which one contained hops the other hops and δ-resins. The difference was well perceptible. The taste and flavour differ only slightly the main difference being in the bitter components of the taste and general smoothness of the beverage. The influence of the δ-resins is therefore rather pronounced and not beneficial if their content exceeds certain limits.(In Czech, English summary only)

Application of emission flamephotometry to the determination of calcium in tartaric acid.Peer-reviewed article

Kvasny Prum. 1968; 14(8): 185-187 | DOI: 10.18832/kp1968024  

A new emission flame photometric method which has been recently developed permits to determine calcium in tartaric acid with concentrations ranging from 0,001 to 0,006 %. The method is to a great extent a universal one and has been used successfully for the determination of calcium in tartrates, citric acid, citrates etc.(In Czech, English summary only)
