Abstract

Abstract : The current article describes the evaporation behaviour of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in wort. All thermodynamic and technological basics and DMS data are listed. However, the article's target was not just the collection, editing and reviewing of information but also how to predict DMS evaporation behaviour from wort for different temperatures based on the data in the literature. For that particular purpose, a function was first set up that combined all of the information available on evaporation behaviour. In this context, the so‐called activity coefficient ( γi ) is of crucial interest. Owing to the broad basis of literature evaluated, the function set‐up as described can be deemed to be a current and accurate tool for predicting DMS evaporation behaviour, in general, as well as in particular for different boiling systems.
