Solutions of the haze-active (HA) protein gliadin were prepared in buffer at
different pH’s and treated with silica. Analysis using the bicinchoninic acid
and HA protein methods produced similar patterns, with greater protein removal
near pH 3.5 and 5.0. Portions of an unchillproofed beer were adjusted to
different pH’s, treated with silica, and subjected to HA and foam-active (FA)
protein analyses. The HA protein results showed greater protein removal near pH
3.8 and least removal near pH 4.4. FA protein was hardly affected, although
slightly more was removed near pH 4.4. Tannic acid (TA) and catechin were each
combined with soluble polyvinylpyrrolidone in buffer solutions with different
pH’s, and turbidity was determined after incubation. TA formed maximum haze near
pH 4, while catechin formed more haze above pH 5.
Portions of unchillproofed beer were adjusted in pH and treated with
polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP). The treatment pH had essentially no effect on
total polyphenol removal. HA polyphenols were removed to a greater extent near
pH 3.8 and 4.6, with lower effectiveness at intermediate pH’s. The colloidal
stabilization performance of both silica and PVPP was better at pH’s near the
extremes of the beer pH range. This may account for difficulties encountered in
stabilizing some beers. Keywords: Haze, Polyphenol, Protein, PVPP, Silica
Soluciones de la proteína gliadina, causante de turbiedad (HA), fueron
preparadas en almacenaje intermediario a varios pH’s y tratadas con silica.
Análisis usando los métodos de ácido bicinconinico y proteínas promotoras de
turbiedad ha produjo resultados similares, con la mayor retiro de proteína
ocurriendo cerca de pH 3.5 y 5.0. Porciones de cerveza sin protección de helada
fueron ajustadas a varios pH, tratadas con silica, y sujetadas al análisis de
proteínas que participan en la formación de espuma y de proteínas promotoras de
turbiedad. Los resultados del análisis de proteínas promotoras de turbiedad
demostraron mayor retiro de la proteína cerca de pH 3.8 y menos retiro cerca de
pH 4.4. Las proteínas que participan en la formación de espuma fueron afectadas
apenas, aunque levemente más fueron quitadas cerca de pH 4.4. Ácido tánico (TA)
y catechin cada uno fueron combinados con polivinilpirrolidona soluble en
soluciones tapón con diversos pH, y la turbiedad fue determinada después de
incubación. TA formó la turbiedad coloidal máxima cerca de pH 4, mientras que
catechin formó más turbiedad sobre pH 5. Las porciones de cerveza sin protección
de helada fueron ajustadas en pH y tratadas con polivinilpolipirrolidona (PVPP).
El tratamiento pH no tenía esencialmente ningún efecto en retiro total del
polyphenol. Los polifenoles promotoras de turbiedad fueron quitados a un mayor
grado cerca de pH 3.8 y 4.6, con menos eficacia en pH intermedio. El
funcionamiento de estabilización coloidal de silica y de PVPP era mejor en pH
cerca de los extremos de la gama del pH de cerveza. Esto puede explicar las
dificultades encontradas en estabilizar algunas cervezas. Palabras claves:
Calina, Polifenoles, Proteína, PVPP, Silica
