The authors describe a new instrument which has been developed for studying and measuring the relation between the temperature and death rate of microorganisms. It is essentially a metallic, massive vessel both ends of which are maintained at constant temperature. Microorganisms to be tested are put into the instrument as a suspension in agar gel. Different parts of the sample are therefore exposed to different temperatures. Since there is a linear relation between the temperature of any section of the sample and its distance from the vessel ends, it is easy to assess the effects of distance and, consequently of various temperatures. After a certain...

To assess the frothing capacity of beer and wort the authors apply a new method. The sample of substrate to be tested is first frothed in a laboratory mixer and time required for returning back into liquid is measured. It has been ascertained that the restitution process to liquid state has specific features for various sorts of beer. The rate of froth disappearance depends on the temperature, whereas the mixing time and its speed have only insignificant effects. The described method permits to study the influence of various technologic factors upon the frothing capacity of beer.(In Czech, English summary only)
Sanitation circuits in breweries.Peer-reviewed article

Mechanized sanitation service in a brewery can be organized in two different ways, viz.: either by operating one central sanitation station, responsible for the whole brewery, or by having several stations, i.e. one for each of the departments. Each of the systems has its specific advantages and disadvantages. One of important merits of decentralized system is the absence of any interdependence between individual stations, which eliminates proliferation of any contamination from one part of the brewery to others. It is also easy to adjust sanitation operations, i.e. their character, sequence atc. to various cycles of brewing process. From the sanitation...
Waste from industrial plants can be utilized as raw materials for making stock feed.Peer-reviewed article

Nutritive proteins can be prepared from various sorts of waste products remaining in industry, especially in plants processing agricultural products and manufacturing food-stuffs. The author specifies a number of potential sources of high protein stock feed.(In Slovak, English summary only)
