Buckwheat Scientific Theory

Technical Theory
For the buckwheat brewing improvement project, buckwheat brew was to be produced on a lab scale to determine initial project problems. I developed two laboratory manuals. The first was based on American Society of Brewing Chemists standards for barley brew. After learning the gelatinization temperature of buckwheat is higher than the gelatinization temperature of barley, I created the second laboratory manual. Both experiments were implemented into the lab, and analysis of the product was conducted throughout the rest of the trials during the year.
After determining auxiliary equipment was necessary for the production of buckwheat beer, I began to review sizing specifications of a craft brewery. the group required a mash strainer to be placed inside the mash tun, therefore I reviewed the dimensions and internals of the mash tun as provided on the isometric drawings from the brewing equipment vendor. I determined the required size of the strainer required to retrofit a craft brewery

Using thermodynamics, energy balances were performed on the mash tun to determine the additional energy costs that would incur in the system.
I analysed the project feasibility and the practicality if the team had chosen to use sugar adjuncts to enhance fermentation. I concluded that the additional energy of this method. To make this decision I compared quantitative analysis previous completed in research. Also, to ensure it could be performed at a Pilot Scale in the winter semester, I reviewed materials and specifications required to achieve the

    Title: Alexandra Whitaker, Ms.Dayton, 12/23/16, 2.03 lab permeability Objective(s): The main purpose is to find out if plastic bags are permeable to starch and, or, iodine. Also, to find out wither potatoes are hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic by testing the different amounts of sucrose solutions Introduction: The necessary background information needed for this lab is the definition of osmosis, diffusion, active transports, passive transports, permeability, concentration, tonicity, and to now the scientific concepts of hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic. Hypothesis: For part 1 my hypothesis is: That the starch will diffuse across the plastic bag and react with the iodine and will have a color change to the water to imply the reaction…

    This was confirmed by the values obtained from the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics. The experiment involved the use of calorimetry and Hess’s Law to calculate the molar enthalpy of dehydration. An important improvement to increase the accuracy of the data would be to use a digital thermometer with shorter intervals in recording the data, especially when the reaction is occurring. This would improve identifying the true final temperature of the system. Another improvement would be to use a calorimeter that better retains heat.…

    In the design of the ethanol production plant, the fermenter, flash drum, absorption column, and distillation columns were the only process units considered in great detail. Other process units significant in the overall material balances and design were the starch extraction, starch hydrolysis, and adsorption units. Material Processing Details The material feedstock comprises of roughly 6250 kg/h of potato waste, which is put through the starch extraction unit in order to isolate the 18% by mass of starch contained within the potato feed. The mass of usable starch after extraction was calculated to be…

    Introduction In this experiment, isopentyl acetate was prepared by the direct esterification of acetic acid with isopentyl alcohol, which is an equilibrium that results in a shift in favor of the product by using one of the starting materials in excess. An esterification reaction is when an acid is converted into an ester by combining with an alcohol and removing a water molecule. Esters are found in numerous natural products, including fruits, flowers, and spices. Carboxyllic esters contribute to the flavor of products; therefore, esters are often found in artificial flavorings.…

    Introduction Density measures the volume that a given amount of mass takes up. Usually, density has grams per unit volume as a unit. To find the density of an object, the object has to be measured and its mass has to be divided by its volume. Often times, density is used to identify substances, since different elements have specific densities. This experiment is made up of two sections; the first section measures the density of water and the density of an unknown substance.…

    Osmosis is the net movement of water towards higher concentration. In osmosis experiment, water likes to diffuse from an area of low-solute concentration to an area of high-solute concentration. The purpose of the osmosis experiment was to observe the diffusion of solutes and the osmosis of water through a semipermeable membrane, which was dialysis tubing. This experiment was done to examine, if the solution is hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic.…

    Overall, from this experiment the identity of every unknown carbohydrates and their categories can be found by using different types of reagent based on their functions and properties. Observations from every test are very important to distinguish the unknown carbohydrates into their relative categories such as monosaccharide, reducing sugar, pentoses, etc. Furthermore, reagents that react with the components in the unknown carbohydrates mainly the functional groups, for example : aldehyde group (-CH=O) and hydroxyl group ( -OH) can produce various outcomes at the end of the test like precipitation and change in colour which are also crucial in the identification of the unknown carbohydrates.…
