Hesseltine10 describes recent industrial production of mahewu.    From Wordnik.com.  [Chapter 6] Reference

It is the major difference in separating ogi and mahewu which are otherwise similar products.    From Wordnik.com.  [Chapter 6] Reference

The fermented mahewu is mixed with defatted soybean meal, sugar, whey or buttermilk powder and yeast.    From Wordnik.com.  [Chapter 6] Reference

An improved method is now available for producing mahewu under controlled conditions (see Figure 14.5).    From Wordnik.com.  [Chapter 6] Reference

The capacity of this drier was approximately 2 litres per hour for drying mahewu containing 8 per cent solid.    From Wordnik.com.  [Chapter 6] Reference

Ordinary double drum driers such as those used for milk powder cannot be used on a highly concentrated mahewu.    From Wordnik.com.  [Chapter 6] Reference

No technical problems arise in the spray or the roller drying of mahewu (8 per cent solids) if it is homogeneous.    From Wordnik.com.  [Chapter 6] Reference

Following inoculation, the mahewu is incubated in a warm place for about 36 hours at which time the desirable sour flavour develops.    From Wordnik.com.  [Chapter 6] Reference

· In 1981 the following foods had been produced on an industrial or semiindustrial scale: ogi, garri, palm wine, mahewu, and sorghum.    From Wordnik.com.  [24 Commercialization of Fermented Foods in Sub-Saharan Africa] Reference

With a steam pressure of 14 kilograms psi, the capacity of the drum drier for mahewu containing 8 per cent solid is 7 litres per hour.    From Wordnik.com.  [Chapter 6] Reference

If the mahewu has to be distributed over long distance, it is advantageous to reduce the water content by preparing a more concentrated form.    From Wordnik.com.  [Chapter 6] Reference

mahewu powder prepared from spontaneously soured mahewu has an unsatisfactory flavour and the shelf life of the powder is very limited (two days).    From Wordnik.com.  [Chapter 6] Reference

Owing to the high viscosity of concentrated mahewu, 25 per cent solids was the highest concentration which could be dried on the laboratory spray driers.    From Wordnik.com.  [Chapter 6] Reference

The inoculum consists of a mixture of pure cultures which have been isolated from traditional mahewu and cultures on a coarsely ground whole wheat flour.    From Wordnik.com.  [Chapter 6] Reference

This concentrated mahewu can then be adjusted to the normal solids content at the place where it is to be consumed merely by mixing it with the requisite amount of water.    From Wordnik.com.  [Chapter 6] Reference

The traditional, spontaneous mahewu is made by mixing maize meal and water in a ratio of approximately 450 grams maize to 3.8 litres water (8 to 10 per cent solids), boiling until the porridge is cooked.    From Wordnik.com.  [Chapter 6] Reference

Drying in circulating hot air tray driers has the disadvantage that the layer of mahewu must be broken by mechanical means during the process, drying is slow and the mahewu becomes brown even if the temperature is kept at 50 degrees Centigrade.    From Wordnik.com.  [Chapter 6] Reference

Several conventional drying methods can be used for mahewu, but only two of these appear to be practicable for large-scale production, namely, spray drying used for milk, or drum drying used for the drying of mashed potatoes and similar pastes.    From Wordnik.com.  [Chapter 6] Reference

Yet whether these efforts consisted of informal discussions of family historyneighbors passing a hot afternoon in the shade, for instance, reminiscing about their grandparents between swallows of homemade mahewu (maize beer) or public debates about clan genealogy, private resumption of sacrificial offerings at ancestral burial grounds or organized revival of communal customs such as the rites of vukanyi season, men's quest for the past differed from women's in several important ways.    From Wordnik.com.  [Where Women Make History: Gendered Tellings of Community and Change in Magude, Mozambique] Reference

Alternatively, mahewu can be dried into a powder.    From Wordnik.com.  [Chapter 6] Reference
