The ability of yeast to flocculate is important in different separation processes, especially in the beer industry. Because of the regulation purposes, there is a need for online monitoring. With the presented measuring set-up, consisting of a peristaltic pump, a photometer, and a computer, it is po

β¦ Synopsis
The separation of yeast at the tnd of a beer fermentation depends on the ability of the yeast to become flocculent, form floes and sediment to the bottom of the fermenter. To monitor these processes an on-line method has been developed. With the instrument, a Photometric Dispersion Analyser, it is possible to determine flocculation on-line at the same conditions as in the fermenter.

Individual cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae exhibit a finite replicative lifespan, which is widely believed to be a function of the number of divisions undertaken. As a consequence of ageing, yeast cells undergo constant modifications in terms of physiology, morphology and gene expression
A membrane inlet ion mobility spectrometric method was developed for on-line measurement of ethanol concentration in beer and in yeast fermentation. Main parts of the measurement system are an ion mobility spectrometer, M90, and a custom built membrane inlet. The M90 ion mobility spectrometer is uni
In an attempt to resolve the difficult problem of on-line determination of the viscosity of non-Newtonian fermentation media, the authors have used a vibrating rod sensor mounted on a bioreactor. The sensor signal decreases nonlinearly with increased apparent viscosity. Electronic filtering of the s
