The Study Of Mashing Methods And Features Of Fermentations Products, Mybeshir Pajaziti, Kastriot Pehlivani Oct 2020

The Study Of Mashing Methods And Features Of Fermentations Products, Mybeshir Pajaziti, Kastriot Pehlivani

UBT International Conference

If mashing is conducted at 62 to 63˚C, a higher maltose composition is obtained, and the limit is of fermentation rate is higher. The wort, which has a lot of maltose ferments quickly, and the yeast is kept suspended for a long time. Continuous mashing at 62 to 64˚C yields beer with a high fermentation limit; if these temperatures are exceeded, and continuous mashing is carried out at 72 to 75˚C, beers with high dextrin content and low fermentation limit are obtained. To produce beer, primary and secondary fermentation are performed. During primary fermentation, the obtained sugars are converted into …


Refining Process And Quality Control Of Sunflower Oil, Etrit Beshtica, Luljeta Ajdini, Mentor Arifi, Lenda Ramadani, Donjeta Halimi Oct 2020

Refining Process And Quality Control Of Sunflower Oil, Etrit Beshtica, Luljeta Ajdini, Mentor Arifi, Lenda Ramadani, Donjeta Halimi

UBT International Conference

The quality control of edible sunflower oil is monitored through several stages, from unrefined oil, during the whole refining process as well as the bottled oil. Initially is checked the unrefined oil by means of analyzing its origin, enabling us to understand what the origin of the oil is. Subsequently are checked the compounds that need to be removed from the sunflower oil in the refining process. We also pay special attention to the preservation of some compounds present in the unrefined oil. The methodologies applied for oil quality control are physical- chemical and microbiological methods.

UBT International Conference

The development of society is related to the high consumption of a variety of food products, the use of electro-household appliances, furniture, and its furnishing, clothing, plastic materials, etc. The increase of urban waste is considered both from the social development and the increase of the population, for example, Prishtina 1,116,355 tons/year, Prizren 90,858 tons/year, Peja 41,748 tons/year, Mitrovica 64,663 tons/year. The increase in urban waste will affect our environment (soil, water, and air). Even though our city is endangered by their lack of treatment, their quantity is constantly increasing. We need to change the concept that waste is worthless. …

Analysis And Characterization Of Anthocyanins In Raspberry Fruits (Rubus Idaeus L.), Hyrie Koraqi, Flutura C. Ajazi Oct 2020

Analysis And Characterization Of Anthocyanins In Raspberry Fruits (Rubus Idaeus L.), Hyrie Koraqi, Flutura C. Ajazi

UBT International Conference

This study focuses on the analysis and characterization of anthocyanins from Raspberry fruit (Rubus idaeus L.). The fresh Raspberry fruits were extracted with the solvent of EtOH 96% /0.1% HC l (1:1, ratio) at room temperature for 4 h in the dark. The extraction process was the important step in the isolation and identification of anthocyanins. For this purpose, anthocyanin contents in Raspberry fruits were determined with UV-Vis Spectroscopy. The results showed that the total anthocyanin content (expressed as cyanidin-3-glucoside) in the extract was 277.2 mg/L, which is equivalent to 9.33 mg total anthocyanin per gram of dry material.
