Better beer production with CEPT®

CEPT® technology shows excellent potential as a pre-treatment for creating higher yields and increased quality in beer.

Greeting the future market demand today

Pulsed Electric Field treatment has been proposed as a potential method for improving the efficiency of beer production by reducing the time and energy required for pasteurization, the process of heating beer to a high temperature to kill off unwanted microorganisms.

PEF treatment works by creating an electric field across a fluid, such as beer, that is strong enough to cause the cells of microorganisms and enzymes to become permeable. This allows substances to enter or exit the cells, leading to cell death. 

Beer, one of the most consumed beverages in the world, is brewed from the barley or wheat malt, water, hops, and yeast, via the fermentation of the wort (starch sugars) thereof. During the brewing process, the CEPT can be applied upstream to enhance fermentation through the release of more sugars, increase of Free Amino Nitrogen (FAN), and other nutrients from the grains and extract the alpha-acids from the hops and downstream wherein fermentative yeast, as well as spoilage bacteria and yeast, can be neutralized without modifying the quality of the product and its original taste.

What type of beer production are you interested in?

BEER

Interested in exploring what results could be achieved using CEPT® in the production of beer?

FRESH BEER

Fresh Beer is beer at its optimum state, typically holding its perfect flavor for about 3 weeks. Application of CEPT® prior to the fermentation can lead to an increased release of flavor-forming compounds (bitter tannins, hops to balance the sugary sweet malt) which in turn can lead to an extension of the fresh beer or ‘freshness’.
