Filtration
Please check back later for additional changes
During beer filtration, yeast cells, permanent haze, and chill-haze are removed, leading to a loss of phenolic compounds.[1][2]
Filtration rate and membrane life are negative affected by excessive amounts of undegraded beta-glucans and arabinoxylans.
Beer filtration significantly decreases the level of antioxidant activity of beer, due to the removal of natural antioxidants.[3] Firstly, a large portion of phenolic compounds are removed. Secondly, yeast cells are also removed, which provide reducing effect due to NADH.
Filtration removes significant amounts of phenolic compounds.[4]
Filtration increases dissolved oxygen pickup and therefore oxidation.[5]
Beer filtration through DE leads to lowered flavor stability, in part due to increased iron levels, but also by other mechanisms.[6]
