Record 3 2010-10-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Techniques and Processes
  • Brewing and Malting
  • Beverages
OBS

Milling. For efficient extraction with water, malt must be milled. Early milling processes used stones driven manually or by water or animal power, but modern brewing uses mechanically driven roller mills. The design of the mill and the gap between the rolls are important in obtaining the correct reduction in size of the malt. The object is to retain the husk relatively intact while breaking up the brittle, modified starch into particles.

Key term(s)
  • malt crushing

French

Domaine(s)
  • Techniques industrielles
  • Brasserie et malterie
  • Boissons (Industrie de l'alimentation)
CONT

Le brassage comprend le concassage du malt, l'empâtage en cuve-matière, la filtration, la cuisson et le houblonnage. Le malt est concassé dans des broyeurs à cylindres, de façon à réduire l'amande en farine et gruaux, sans écraser les enveloppes cellulosiques.

CONT

Le concassage du malt réduit le grain en farine qui va se dissoudre dans l'eau du brassage. Le grain conserve son enveloppe intacte; celle-ci sera utile comme assise filtrante lors de la filtration du moût. Les grains de malt, bien secs, calibrés et pesés, passent entre les cylindres d'un concasseur, où ils sont simplement écrasés, juste avant leur utilisation au brassage. Certains concasseurs actuels pratiquent la mouture humide, pour éviter de déchirer l'enveloppe du malt.

CONT

Para la trituración de malta se utiliza una máquina trituradora de dos cilindros con un rendimiento de 250, 600 o 1100 kg/h (según el tipo de cervecería) que tiene en su entrada una tolva con una rejilla de seguridad y protección y un fuerte imán para separar todas las impurezas metálicas.

CONT

Enhanced well productivity potential from a new high-density reservoir drilling fluid.... The new fluid system... derives its viscosity solely from an interaction between a specially modified starch(DFS) and an inorganic magnesium compound(HRMgO) [=highly reactive magnesium oxide].

CONT

Dietary Mg [magnesium] supplementation using inorganic Mg sources such as MgSO4 and MgCl2 have ... been shown to improve meat quality. Studies comparing the influence of organic and inorganic magnesium compounds on meat quality indicate that the improvements in muscle colour, drip loss, and the reductions in the incidence of PSE [pale, soft and exudative pork] were greater with organic magnesium compounds such as magnesium aspartate and magnesium Bioplex.
