Abstract
A new sampling means using a rotating filter-tube was investigated for analysis of brewing mash. This means prevented the adhesion of cake o nto the filter, which led to an increase of filtration flux from the m ashes with high filtration resistance. In a sake-mash, the filtration flux of the rotated filter was approximately 10-fold higher than that with no rotation. Continual measurement of alcohol and specific densit y of the filtrate was feasible throughout the entire mashing process w ith no washing. It was also feasible for sampling the mashes of soy sa uce and shochu.
