Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Deuterated 2-alkylaminoacetamide compounds are described having the alpha carbon of the alkyl side chain of the compounds substituted by one or two deuterium atoms. These compounds have pharmacokinetic properties which enable treatment of CNS diseases with lower toxic effects. These compounds are also useful in evaluating the metabolic fate of non-deuterated counterpart compounds. Of particular interest are compounds of Formula I: ##STR1## wherein X is deutero or hydrido; wherein R.sup.1 is selected from alkyl and aralkenyl; wherein each of R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 is independently selected from hydrido and alkyl; wherein each of R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 having a substitutable position may be substituted with one or more halo radicals; or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt thereof.
