Abstract:
L'invention concerne un broyeur à impact (1) muni d'injecteurs d'eau (8, 9), en particulier pour le broyage du malt vert. Les éléments percuteurs peuvent être des marteaux (6) et/ou des couteaux (7). L'invention concerne également un procédé de production d'un moût, à partir de malt vert ou de toute autre céréale germées qui subit simultanément les opérations de broyage et d'empâtage.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for preparing a beverage, wherein a dough - which has been prepared from malt flour and water - is diluted with water to a mixture of malt flour in water, the diluted mixture containing 11 to 45 wt.% malt flour, based on the total weight of the mixture. The invention further relates to intermediate products and beverage obtainable by means of a method according to the invention. The invention has been found particularly suitable for preparing alcohol-containing beverages.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a continuous method of preparing a liquid extract of cereal grain by comminuting cereal grain at a rate of at least 100 kg of dry cereal grain per hour and extracting the comminuted cereal grain with a liquid, said 5 method comprising: -continuously combining cereal grain with a liquid; -continuously disintegrating the grain particles contained within the liquid by colliding freely suspended grain particles with one or more rotating blades, thereby producing a milled suspension;10 -continuously transferring at least a part of the milled suspension, optionally after further treatment, to a separation device for separation into spent grain and liquid extract; wherein the one or more rotating blades are rotating at a tip speed of at least 10 m/s; the total mechanical energy transferred into the milled suspension by the one or more 15 rotating blades is in the range of 5-1000 k J per kg of dry cereal grain; and the distance between a tip of said one or more rotating blades and the axis of rotation is in the range of 2-25 cm. The invention also provides a system for comprising a milling apparatus and a separation device suitable for use in the aforementioned method.20 The present method and system offer several advantages, including savings on capital expenditure and maintenance, short milling times and hygienic design.
Abstract:
Heat-stabilized defatted rice bran (HDRB) is fermented with yeast to afford a food product having superior prebiotic for probiotic properties. Fermentation of HDRB with yeast yields a prebiotic composition that can promote the growth and/or activity of beneficial intestinal bacteria (probiotic) when consumed by an animal or human. The prebiotic and/or probiotic compositions can afford substances having desirable health effects when consumed. The yeast fermented, and the probiotic fermented extracts and residues will have several nutraceutical compounds including protein, phenolics, phytic acid, arabinose, bioactive isoflavones, dietary fibers and several others that will have health benefits. Inclusion of legumes during fermentation can synergistically enhance the bioactivities of HDRB. HDRB can be a source of growth medium for yeast/mold/microorganisms.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for preparing cereal-based beverages. The present invention provides, for example, methods for steeping and germination of cereal grain under continuous aeration. Particularly, the present invention provides methods for heating the germinated cereal grains prior to wet milling of germinated cereal grains and direct transfer of the germinated grain, without drying, to the brewery for further processing. Compared to current methods the methods of the present invention significantly reduce water consumption, energy consumption and transport need.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Ganzkornkonditionierung, insbesondere von nativem und vermälztem Braugetreide. Zur Verbesserung des Maischenprozesses und zur Erhöhung der Sudzahl und der Produktqualität wird das Braugetreide konditioniert und anschliessend einem Schäl- und/oder mechanischen Zerkleinerungsprozess zugeführt.
Abstract:
It is intended to provide a process for producing a saccharified solution containing substances causing the degradation odor in a lessened amount for producing fermented alcoholic drinks such as beer and beer−type sparkling drink showing a relieved degradation odor; and a process for producing a fermented alcoholic drink such as beer or beer−type sparkling drink showing a relieved degradation odor by using the saccharified solution thus produced. By controlling the extent of milling of cereal grains to be used in producing fermented alcoholic drinks such as beer and beer−type sparkling drink (i.e., by milling the cereal grains to give coarse pieces compared with the conventional level), the substances causing the degradation odor in the saccharified solution can be lessened. Thus, fermented alcoholic drinks such as beer and beer−type sparkling drink having relieved degradation odor can be produced. The extent of milling of the cereal grains can be controlled by using trans−2−nonenal potential in the whole filtered wort as an indication and expressed by the husk fraction ratio in accordance with the EBC method.
Abstract:
The present invention relates, generally, to germination and preparation of aqueous extracts of cereals (e.g. prepared through mashing), including processes used to produce beer. The invention thus provides methods for fast germination and preparation of aqueous extracts of cereals. The methods significantly speed up the process of preparing wort for production of cereal-based beverages, while maintaining the potential for preparing said wort with low levels of β-glucan. The instant invention is equally applicable to the germination and preparation of aqueous extracts of other cereal grains - including rice, sorghum, maize, millet and wheat - as well as brewing processes comprising adjuncts.
