DETERMINATION OF METALS IN BREWING MATERIALS BY FLAMELESS ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY

Abstract
The use of a flameless atomic absorption technique is described for the estimation of metals in malt, hops, wort and beer. The method was found to be satisfactory for the direct determination of Mn, Mg, Ca, Fe, Zn, Cu and Al. Ni, Co and Pb were determined by the addition of internal standards. A balance sheet for ten metals through the brewing process is presented.
