At least two commercial instruments that perform automated
turbidimetric titrations are available for determining haze-active (HA)
constituents in beer. They have advantages over single-point measurements
due to the interactions between beer HA polyphenols, HA proteins, and
other beer constituents. Analysis of HA polyphenols is particularly
difficult due to their low concentration in beer. Manual turbidimetric
titrations with soluble polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were carried out in
model systems with a HA polyphenol (tannic acid [TA]), a non-HA polyphenol
(epicatechin), a HA protein (gliadin), and a non-HA protein (lysozyme).
Increasing concentrations of TA resulted in higher turbidity peaks at
higher titrant volumes. Essentially no haze was seen with epicatechin or
lysozyme. Gliadin solutions had an initial modest haze that decreased with
increasing titrant. The effects of adding fixed amounts of epicatechin,
lysozyme, or gliadin to TA were examined. In the presence of epicatechin
or lysozyme, the titration endpoints were shifted higher. The endpoints
with mixtures of gliadin and TA were similar to those found with TA alone.
PVP titration also was applied to samples of unchillproofed beer treated
with different amounts of silica or polyvinylpolypyrrolidone and showed
responses of the expected magnitudes. Keywords: Epicatechin, Gliadin,
Lysozyme, PVP, Tannic acid
Por lo menos dos instrumentos comerciales que realizan titulación turbidimétrico
automatizado son disponibles para determinar las mandantes que activan calina
(AC) en cerveza. Ellos tienen ventajas sobre un punto único de las mediciones
debido a la interacción entre los AC polifenoles en cerveza, AC-proteínas, y
otros mandantes en la cerveza. Análisis de AC polifenoles es especialmente
difícil debido a su baja concentración en la cerveza. Titulaciones
turbidimétrico manual con solubles polivinilpirrolindona (PVP) se llevaron a
cabo en los sistemas modelo con una AC polifenoles (ácido tánico [TA]), una
organización no-AC polifenoles (epicatequina), una AC-proteína (gliadina), y un
no-AC proteína (lisozima). El aumento de las concentraciones de ácido tartárico
provocado el incremento de la turbidez en los picos más altos volúmenes de
titulante. Esencialmente no calina se observado con epicatequina o lisozima.
Gliadina soluciones tuvo un primer modesta calina que se redujo con el aumento
titulante. Los efectos de la adición de cantidades fijas de epicatequina,
lisozima, o gliadina a TA fueron examinados. En presencia de epicatequina o
lisozima, la valoración de puntos finales de la titulación fueron desplazado
superior. Los puntos finales con mezclas de gliadina y TA eran similares a las
que se encuentran solas con TA. PVP titulación también se aplicó a muestras de
cerveza sin protección de helada tratados con diferentes cantidades de sílice o
polivinilpolipirrolidona y mostró la espera de respuestas de magnitudes.
Palabras claves: Ácido taníco, Epicatequina, Gliadina, Lisozima, PVP
