SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In beer brewing,
Measuring the agglutinating ability of the bottom yeast starts with the selection of the yeast to be used, and is important for fermentation management and quality control of the final product. At present, as methods for measuring the cohesiveness of brewer's yeast, the Burns method and the Helm method are known as general methods for measuring cohesiveness. However, there is a problem that it is difficult to capture the cohesive ability of the particles. Recently disclosed magnetobeads
The method has the disadvantage that magnet beads used for measurement are not common and are difficult to obtain. Further, the correlation between the hydrophobicity obtained by this measurement method and the aggregation ability has not been studied much.

In the nact angle method, a special device called goniometry to be attached to a microscope is required, and the operation is complicated and the reproducibility is low. Also, the method of observing a mixed reaction with an organic solvent has many problems in terms of accuracy and reproducibility. The HIC method, which measures the hydrophobicity using a column, is said to be able to measure bacteria, yeasts, etc., but the sensitivity is low, and it is necessary to adjust and use four types of columns and eluate for measurement. It is also a measurement system with large damage to cells, and has a problem.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Any cell can be measured as long as it has a hydrophobic property such as yeast or bacteria. Further, by setting measurement conditions suitable for the cells, for example, conditions suitable for bottom brewer's yeast, the agglutinating ability can be captured. The conditions for measuring the hydrophobicity of the cell surface layer are as follows: a column made of a material having low adsorptivity, for example, a polypropylene column,
The gel equilibrated with a buffer containing a salt such as NaCl adjusted to 4M is filled. Buffers and gels that are widely used for biological samples and proteins can be used, and the concentration, salt, pH, and treatment temperature used are within a range that does not damage cells or microorganisms whose hydrophobicity is to be measured. Can be used in appropriate combination. In addition, when measuring the yeast on the lower surface of beer, A was adjusted to a pH of about 4.2 as a buffer so as not to damage the yeast cells.
Caterate Buffer is preferred, and phenyl sepharose is preferred for the hydrophobic gel.

The absorbance at OD 600 to 660 was measured for the yeast suspension of the subject subjected to the same dilution as the elution conditions,
From these values, the adsorption rate of the cells to the column is determined, and this is determined as the hydrophobicity. In addition, by using a hydrophobic column scaled up under the same conditions as above and continuously eluting with the above-mentioned buffer solution and solvent, cells having different hydrophobicity can be collected. In addition, a column, a gel, a buffer, and the like necessary for the above-described measurement method can be provided as a measurement kit. The newly established method for measuring the degree of hydrophobicity is much easier to operate than the conventional method. By the measurement, the flocculent yeast and the non-flocculant yeast could be easily distinguished.
