Integrierte Vermeidung und Verminderung der Umweltverschmutzung

Glossary
great deal of silica is also present. Its absorbent properties make it
suitable for removing oil and grease
Germination The process whereby seeds or spores sprout and begin to grow, also
Gram-negative
bacteria
called sprouting
Those bateria which fail to stain with Gram’s reaction. The reaction
depends on the complexicity of the cell wall and has for long
determined a major division between bacterial species
Herbicide Any chemical toxic substance, usually used to kill specific unwanted
plants, especially weeds
HEPA filter High efficiency particulate air filter
Hull Outer covering of fruit and seeds, especially pod of peas and beans,
husk of grain, or green calyx of strawberry
Ice-water Cooled water which is then used for cooling
Immission Pollutant mass/concentration that is dissipated to the environment. It is
measured where the environmental impact occurs.
Kieselguhr A light soil consisting of siliceous remains of microscopic one-celled
or colonial algae, used for filtering purposes, also called diatomeceous
earth
Lecithin Any of a group of natural phospholipids which are esters of a
phosphatidic acid with choline; such phospholipids collectively; a
mixture containing these, used commercially as a food emulsifier etc.
Lees The sediment of wine or some other liquids
Lyophilisation The process of preserving food products by freezing them and then
(freeze-drying) evaporating the water (in the form of ice) by sublimation
Malt sprouts The shoots which grow during germination of malt
Marc The residue, e.g. skins, pits and seeds, remaining after the juice has
been pressed from a fruit, usually apple or grapes
Mash Malt mixed with hot water to form wort
Miscella Mixture of crude vegetable oil and hexane formed during solvent
extraction of vegetable oils
Mitzithra cheese Cheese made from whey
Mollusc Soft-bodied and usually hard-shelled animal belonging to the phylum
Mollusca
Must Any juice or liquid prepared undergoing alcoholic fermentation, e.g.
grape juice or the pulp of apples or pears
Native starch Refined starch without any chemical and/or physical modification
Nibs Pieces of peeled fermented cacao beans
Oenology Of or pertaining to the knowledge of making wines
Ostwald combustion The Ostwald combustion diagram shows in graphical form the
diagram
theoretical relationships among the products of combustion of
hydrocarbons. The interdependence of CO2,O2, CO, and air-fuel ratio
is given. By this, it is possible to determine the CO and air-fuel ratio
when the values for CO2 and O2 are known
Pasteurisation Thermal process, treatment, or combination thereof, that is applied to
food to reduce the most resistant micro-organisms of public health
significance to a level that is not likely to present a public health risk
under normal conditions of distribution and storage. Thermal
pasteurisation treatments are time/temperature equivalent combinations
to obtain a certain decimal (log) reduction of viable organisms with a
reduced detrimental effect on flavour and chemistry of the food
Perry A juice like cider, made from pears
Pesticide Biological, physical or chemical agent used to kill pests. In practice,
the term pesticide is often applied only to chemical agents. Various
pesticides are known as insecticides, nematicides, fungicides,
herbicides and rodenticides, i.e., agents primarily effective against
insects, nematodes (or roundworms), fungi, weeds and rodents,
