12.1 - Sampling of Spent Grains
Procedures to be employed for obtaining representative samples of spent grains for analytical purposes.
Procedures to be employed for obtaining representative samples of spent grains for analytical purposes.
The determination of the moisture content of spent grains by loss of mass on drying under specified conditions. Descriptors: mass in g of sample before drying, mass in g of sample after drying, Percentage of moisture lost by predrying, Percentage of moisture found in predried sample.
It is necessary to use EBC Methods 1.1, 4.2 and 12.1
The determination of the total extractable material of spent grains by water using a mashing procedure with action of added enzymes. Descriptors: extract content of the filtrate % Plato, extract content corresponding to the specific gravity of the correction solution % Plato, moisture of the predried spent grains in % (m/m), moisture of the predried spent grains in % (m/m).
It is necessary to use EBC Methods 1.1, 12.1 and 4.5.1
The method has been updated in 2024 to adjust to a new enzyme used in its protocol.
The determination of the soluble extract content of spent grains by extraction with water. Descriptors: extract content of the filtrate % Plato, moisture of the predried spent grains in % (m/m), soluble extract in % (m/m) as is, soluble extract in % (m/m) dry basis.
It is necessary to use EBC Methods 4.5.1 and 12.3
The determination of total residual extract of spent grains using a mashing procedure. Descriptors: specific gravity of filtrate, gravity of mixed mash filtrate, gravity of control mash filtrate, specific gravity of mixed mash filtrate, specific gravity of control mash filtrate.
It is necessary to use EBC Methods 4.5.1, 12.3, 12.2, 8.2.1 or 8.2.2
