GAS-LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY OF WORT AND BEER CARBOHYDRATES I. THE CHARACTERIZATION OF WORT, BEER, AND BREWING SYRUP CARBOHYDRATES

Abstract

Gas-liquid chromatography has been applied to the separation of the trimethylsilyl derivatives of wort, beer and corn syrup carbohydrates. The major carbohydrates identified in worts, beers, and corn syrups include fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose, isomaltose, maltotriose and maltotetraose.
