Bitterness calculation

Dodge has based a process for the determination of benzaldehyde. A strong (2 5 N) alcoholic potash solution is required for the estimation, which is performed. by allowing a mixture of 10 c.c. of this solution with 1 to 2 grams benzaldehyde to stand at the ordinary temperature for twenty-four hours, after which the unabsorbed pota is titrated back with N/2 hydrochloric acid. A blank test is also made, and from the amount of potash entering into reaction, the percentage of aldehyde can be calculated. The process breaks down in the assay of natural oil of bitter almonds, probably due to the presence of benzaldehyde cyanhydrin. 

Oxytetracycline occurs as yellow crystals or crystalline powder, has a bitter taste and is odorless. Oxytetracycline hydrochloride should have potency not less than 835 pg C22H24N2O9 per mg [1], whilst for oxytetracycline not less than 832 pg/g [1] or 95.0-102.0% as anhydrous substance [2] or not less than 88.0% of C22H24N2O9 calculated as anhydrous basis [3,4]. For oxytetracycline calcium, it should contain not less than 90.0% and not more than 100.5% [2], or 865 pg C22H24N2O9 per mg [1]. Oxytetracycline was produced by the growth of certain strain of Streptomyces rimosus or obtained by other means. 

Oils showing a median of the bitter and/or pungent attribute of more than 5.0 should be addressed to blending. The calculation of the robust coefficient of variation provides a measure of the reliability of panel tasters according to data reported in Table 2.6. 

The authors are glad to thank many scientists, who have contributed to the results. The TEXTOR team, where the measurements were performed and highly reproducible plasmas were provided, especially to Dr. W. Biel, who did the experiments on the transport properties of TEXTOR, Prof. L. Vainshtein, Dr. A. Urnov and F. Goryaev provided us with the results of atomic data calculation. Dr. N. Badnell trained one of us (O. M.) to get the results on dielectronic recombination using atomic codes. Dr. S. Fritzsche put our attention to the cascades within the Li-like ions and Prof. R. Janev discussed the charge exchange recombination processes. Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory supported the measurements on TEXTOR, both by cooperation with Dr. M. Bitter, and loan of X-ray detectors. 

Using earlier data, the CODATA recommended value (5) was calculated using Dq ( Br Br) 15893.1 2 cm" based on Horsley and Barrow (6) and Bitterly (7). LeRoy (8) recalculated the dissociation energy from these data his result is correct only if Horsley and Barrow (6) missed many upper rotational levels of higher vibrational states In their Interpretation of the... 

Bitter [6] has provided an interesting new phenomenological treatment of diffusion, which can be especially useful in calculating mixture diffusivities in polymers. 

The next step is to choose the type and amount of hops. Going back to the table on page 5, we see that pale ales have 20-40 IBU of bitterness. We ve been working with AAUs, which are simpler to use, so making the jump to IBU will require a bit of calculation. Because we re brewing a pale...

In the former, low concentrations of dimethyl sulfide (0.01-0.25 mg/L), formed during worth production or by bacteria during fermentation, were easily detected. In the latter, bitterness is measured in terms of BU (calculated from UV analysis of isooctane at 275 nm). Usually, American beers range from 6-8 BU with European beers being much higher. A range of beers with 12-42 BU were prepared and analyzed. The r value was better than 0.99, and no sample preparation was required. 

Wohler and Leibig first of all showed that oil of bitter almonds when purified is free from hydrocyanic acid. It was analysed by combustion. Benzoic acid formed by its oxidation in air was also analysed, and the composition found differed from that given by Berzelius (see p. 236). By the action of chlorine on oil of bitter almonds, hydrochloric acid gas was evolved and benzoyl chloride (Chlorbenzoyl) formed. Benzoyl bromide was obtained by the similar action of bromine, benzoyl iodide by the action of potassium iodide on benzoyl chloride, benzoyl cyanide by distilling benzoyl chloride with silver cyanide, and benzamide by passing ammonia gas into benzoyl chloride and washing out the ammonium chloride with cold water. The analyses, calculated with Berzelius s atomic weights (see p. 230), agreed closely with the formulae ... 

Table 5.2 is a list of herbal bitter constituents along with known bitterness indices, calculated from the maximum dilutions of constituents at which bitterness is still detectable (Wagner et al. 1984). 

The design and construction methods of the caisson breakwater have developed rapidly in the latter half of the 20th century through many bitter experiences of failures in Japan. Especially, the design technique for the caisson breakwaters is nearly established including the calculation method for determining the wave forces acting on the breakwater.
