Biopolymers in “Natural “ Products

Are generally not considered to be dangerous because of longtime experience

Do not have to be explicitly mentioned on an ingredient list

Are they therefore boring and not worth investigation?

Problems caused by Biopolymers during the Beer Brewing Process

• Improper malting and/or mashing results in high viscosity that lowers the extract yield and affects wortrun-off

• During storage periods a gelatinous precipitate is sometimes formed which

blocks filter media in the final filtrationforms “Fisheyes” in the final productthe gel consists to 99% of (1,3)(1,4)-β-D-Glucan

• The gelation of β-glucan is thermo reversible (Tc = 349K - 355K)

• The solution stays in the sol state for an induction period before the onset of gelation

The Elasticity Increment• The Elasticity Increment

IE (the maximum slope of the storage modulus G’ ) is a measure of the gelation speed

• It also gives a gelation point

• IE is independent of the Frequency

• IE includes the induction period, the shape of the curves is the same for a certain polymer solvent system

Shear induced Gelation in dilute Solutions

• A dilute solution of barley glucan (Mw = 165,000 g/mol, c = 0.025%), sheared for 10 min with an Ultraturrax (10.000 rpm) shows a precipitation of a gel-like sediment that contains 95% of the former dissolved glucan after 96 h.

• The gel formed at early gelation stages consists mainly of the high molar mass parts

Stress-Optical Rule• In the scope of the stress-

optical rule, it is found that, independent from the shear velocity:

• - the mean orientation of the segments and the first principal tensor τI take up the same angle in relation to the shear direction ( φ = χ )

• - the birefringence ∆n‘ (= n‘I -n‘II) is proportional to the first principal tensor difference ∆τ(= τI - τII )

Flow Birefringence in the vicinity of the stress optical rule, depending on empirical parameters:

• The high shear rates are dominated by the intrinsic birefringence and do not allow a detection of the aggregate behavior• Below a concentration of 1% a change in the flow behavior of the aggregates can be seen

Plateau regions of Flow Dichroism

• The reduced Dichroism ∆n’’/c in the plateau regions represents the sum of absolute Deformability of an aggregate and its concentration in Solution

• Below a concentration of 1%, ∆n’’/c reaches a new plateau value, indicating a change in the aggregate structure

Aggregate Size Depending on Concentration• At concentrations higher than

c*, the competition between possible aggregation points leads to smaller aggregates

• The formation of bigger aggregates below the critical concentration leads to a greater distance between the single aggregatesthe buildup of a global network between free polymer chains and aggregates is not possible below c* . It can only be induced, for example by a shear force that enhances the random contacts between the single aggregates

• The speed of the gelation shows differences between the different glucans, though their number average molar mass is nearly the same

• The transmission quotient as well as the gel softening temperature indicate the biggest cluster size for lichenan, followed by barley and oat glucan

• The cluster size coincides with the gelation speed

Conclusions and ways to optimizethe beer brewing process

• Addition of enzymes to degrade (1,3)(1,4)-β-D-glucanNot allowed for German beer

• Temperature control during the mashing processMostly optimized

• Avoiding high shear rates during pump-, transportation and filtration process

Slower output and therefore higher costs• Degradation of high molar mass (1,3)(1,4)-β-D-glucan with mechanical

methods to avoid shear induced aggregation• Selection and breeding of new barley with irregular distribution of

cellotriose units
