The method describes how to determine pesticides and biocidal products in drinking water using high performance liquid chromatography.
Water intended for use as an ingredient in the production of beer (brewing liquor) or other foods
The determination is carried out by means of HPLC (refer to W-010.06.120 Quantitative Determination of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) in Drinking Water).
This method describes how to determine iso-α-acids, α-acids and β-acids in isomerized pellets by means of reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC).
Isomerized pellets intended for use in beer brewing or elsewhere in the food industry
The bitter substances in isomerized hop pellets contain a substantial amount of iso-α-acids; however, in addition to these, non-isomerized α-acids and β-acids are also present. In order to determine their content, a specific method is required.
After milling, the substances in question are extracted from the isomerized pellets using a diethyl ether/methanol mixture and a hydrochloric acid solution. The iso-α-acids, α-acids and β-acids dissolved in the ether phase are separated using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and an elution gradient. They are then measured spectrophotometrically at wavelengths of 270 nm (iso-α-acids) and 314 nm (α-acids and β-acids).
The method describes how to determine the iso-α-acids, α-acids and β-acids in hop extracts and isomerized extracts by means of high-pressure liquid chromatography.
Hop extract and isomerized hop extract intended for use in beer brewing or elsewhere in the food industry
Hop extracts and isomerized hop extracts are dissolved in methanol. The iso-α-acids, α-acids and β-acids are separated using hig-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) with gradient elution and measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 270 nm (iso-α-acids) and 314 nm (α-acids and β-acids).
Hop products with isomerized or reduced iso α-acids intended for use in beer brewing or elsewhere in the food industry
Hop products with isomerized or reduced iso α-acids are dissolved with methanol. The bitter acids are separated through reverse phase high-pressure liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and isocratic elution. They are then measured at a wavelength of 270 nm.
