The invention relates to a method of preparing a liquid, which contains proteins (esp. haze sensitive proteins), for subsequent separation of at least haze-forming material, when predetermined filter aids are used. The method includes the addition of protein-complexing agent to the liquid, which agent is capable of forming a complex with at least some sensitive proteins of the liquid, to result in a limitation of the residual haze of the liquid, obtained after the separation (e.g. filtration), step.

Method of preparing a liquid, containing proteins for subsequent separation, by using one or more protein-complexing agents

A filter aid for use in connection with the filtration of liquids is provided. In particular, a filter useful in connection with the filtration of beer is provided. In addition, a method of filtering liquids is provided. According to the method, a filter aid comprising angular, isotropic particles is introduced to a liquid before the liquid is passed through a filter. In particular, a method for filtering beer comprising the introduction of angular, isotropic particles as a filter aid to a stream of unfiltered beer such that a filtration cake comprising filter aid and solids filtered from the beer is formed.
