The wort pH (5.6 - 6.0) is relatively stable with no significant changes at all levels of replacements. The colour is lighter with increment in proportion of the sorghum as it appears as colour diluents. Wort filteration rate is reduced with the sorghum replacement and the wort produced tends to be turbid which affects the utilization of the wort. The total soluble nitrogen and free amino nitrogen value increased with the use of commercial enzymes while the viscosity decreases with enzymes. The use of ceremix and cereflo have been found to be relatively more effective in the preparation of beer wort as observed for the result obtained in proportions of sorghum and malt barley. The use of high percentage sorghum as adjunct with commercial enzymes are found to be useful in production of high quality wort with low cost and profitability.展开更多

This study aimed to assess the effect of St. John＇s wort extract （SWE） on depressive disorder in elderly patients with unstable angina pectoris. Altogether 170 patients who met the set criteria were enrolled in this prospective study. They were randomly divided into SWE group （44 patients）, Deanxit group （44）, psychotherapy group （42）, and control group （40）. The effectiveness of SWE was evaluated by reduced percentage of Hamilton depression （HAMD） scale and reduced frequency of angina pectoris attack, which were measured before and at 12 weeks after the treatment with SWE. The reduced percentages of HAMD scale were 79.5%, 56.8% and 57.1% in the SWE, Deanxit and psychotherapy groups, respectively. Compared with the control, the three groups had significant differences in the percentages （P〈0.001）. The improvement after the treatment was more significant in the SWE group than in the Deanxit or psychotherapy group （P〈0,05）. The improvement of angina pectoris evaluated by the Canadian Cardiac Society Classification was significantly better in the treatment groups （88.7%, 65.9%, 57.1%） than in the control group, and it was marked in the SWE group （P〈0.001）. Angina pectoris attack, its frequencies, durations and electrocardiographic changes were significantly improved in the treatment groups than in the control group （F=6.05, 4.58, 5.12, P〈0.01）. They are markedly improved in the SWE group （P〈0.05）. SWE can improve depressive symptoms more significantly in elderly patients with unstable angina pectoris than Deanxit or psychotherapy, proving that SWE contributes to better treatment of angina attack as well.展开更多

[Method] The components and content of fermentable sugars in wort made from degermed corn extruded at low temperature as beer adjunct were determined by HPLC. [Result] The contents of sugar components were shown as below: fructose was 3.8 g/L, glucose was 7.4 g/L, sucrose was 4.2 g/L, maltose was 53.8 g/L and maltotriose was 10.6 g/L.The content of the five fermentable sugars had good linear relation within their peak area in the determination range, the correlation coefficient was 0.977 6-0.990 7, the recoveries of samples were >96%, the standard deviation was 1.27%-3.26%. [Conclusion] The method is simple and rapid with high sensitivity and good reproducibility, it provides reliable and accurate analytic method for determining the components of fermentable sugars in wort made from degermed corn extruded at low temperature as beer adjunct.展开更多
