Eduardo da Silva K, Marcel Borges E, Crestani I, Dognini J, César de Jesus P. Cold extraction process for producing a low-alcohol beer, International Pale Lager style: Evaluation and description of flavors using electronic tongue. Food Res Int 2024; 190:114598. [PMID: 38945614 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114598] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2024] [Revised: 06/01/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024]
Abstract
Grains germinate, dry, and then undergo crushing before being combined with hot water to yield a sweet and viscous liquid known as wort. To enhance flavor and aroma compounds while maintaining a lower alcohol content, cold water is utilized during wort production without increasing its density. Recent years have witnessed a surge in demand for beverages with reduced alcohol content, reflecting shifting consumer preferences towards healthier lifestyles. Notably, consumers of low-alcohol beers seek products that closely mimic traditional beers. In response, batches of low-alcohol beer were meticulously crafted using a cold extraction method with room temperature water, resulting in a beer with 1.11% alcohol by volume (ABV). Sensory evaluations yielded a favorable score of 27 out of 50, indicating adherence to style standards and absence of major technical flaws. Furthermore, electronic taste profiling revealed a striking similarity between the low-alcohol beer and the benchmark International Pale Lager style, exemplified by commercial beers (5 and 0.03% ABV). Notably, the reduced-alcohol variant boasted lower caloric content compared to both standard and non-alcoholic counterparts. Consequently, the cold extraction approach emerges as a promising technique for producing low-alcohol beers within the International Pale Lager style, catering to evolving consumer preferences and health-conscious trends.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze whether it is possible to brew beer without using cereals so that the produced beverage could be easily accessible for the population suffering from celiac disease and other gluten-related disorders. Green lentil seeds were malted and then mashed using a congress mashing procedure to assess their advantages and disadvantages in the brewing process. Based on the congress mashing procedure, the mashing process needed to produce beer was developed, and beers were produced from the lentil malts germinated during malting for 96 h, 120 h and 144 h. It was possible to produce beers from the lentil malts; however, they were characterized by a lower alcohol content, lower degree of attenuation and some discrepancies between the concentrations of various volatiles (such as acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate, and 1-propanol) compared to the control beer produced from barley malt.

Abstract
Processed fish by-products are valuable sources of peptides due to their high protein content. However, the bitterness of these peptides can limit their use. This review outlines the most recent advancements and information regarding the reduction of bitterness in fish by-products derived peptides. The sources and factors influencing bitterness, the transduction mechanisms involved, and strategies for reducing bitterness are highlighted. Bitterness in peptides is mainly influenced by the source, preparation method, presence of hydrophobic amino acid groups, binding to bitter receptors, and amino acid sequence. The most widely utilized techniques for eliminating bitterness or enhancing taste include the Maillard reaction, encapsulation, seperating undesirable components, and bitter-blockers. Finally, a summary of the current challenges and future prospects in the domain of fish by-products derived peptides is given. Despite some limitations, such as residual bitterness and limited industrial application, there is a need for further research to reduce the bitterness of fish by-products derived peptides. To achieve this goal, future studies should focus on the technology of fish by-products derived peptide bitterness diminishment, with the aim of producing high-quality products that meet consumer expectations.

Abstract
In the past few years, there has been a growing demand by consumers for more complex beers with distinctive organoleptic profiles. The yeast, raw material (barley or other cereals), hops, and water used add to the major processing stages involved in the brewing process, including malting, mashing, boiling, fermentation, and aging, to significantly determine the sensory profile of the final product. Recent literature on this subject has paid special attention to the impact attributable to the processing conditions and to the fermentation yeast strains used on the aromatic compounds that are found in consumer-ready beers. However, no review papers are available on the specific influence of each of the factors that may affect beer organoleptic characteristics. This review, therefore, focuses on the effect that raw material, as well as the rest of the processes other than alcoholic fermentation, have on the organoleptic profile of beers. Such effect may alter beer aromatic compounds, foaming head, taste, or mouthfeel, among other things. Moreover, the presence of spoilage microorganisms that might lead to consumers’ rejection because of their impact on the beers’ sensory properties has also been investigated.

[PMID: 35233761 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.11847] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2021] [Revised: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/01/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bitter flavors and antioxidant activities are critical characteristics and indicators, respectively, of beer quality. To gain a better understanding of dry-hopped beer's bitterness, this work comprehensively evaluated the perceived bitterness intensity and bitterness attributes from aspects of beer aroma and non-volatile bitter compounds using sensory analysis under two conditions: (i) with and (ii) without nose clips. To quantify bitter and volatile compounds, the work conducted chromatographic analyses: high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Simultaneously, this work assessed the antioxidant activity of commercially dry-hopped beers. RESULTS First, dry-hopped beer in this study contained abundant non-volatile bitter compounds (hop bitter acids, polyphenols and flavonoids), and aroma was validated using HPLC, UPLC-MS and GC-MS methods. Moreover, the bitter-tasting perception test findings demonstrated that many dry-hopped beers had a higher bitterness intensity when evaluated without a nose clip, whereas this phenomenon was adverse in several ale beers. Additionally, the 'lingering' and 'harsh' characteristics were diminished when beer aroma was blocked out (with nose clip) for dry-hopped beer. Meanwhile, most dry-hopped beers had greater antioxidant activity than ale beers (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION This work revealed the bitterness complexity of dry-hopped beer; besides non-volatile bitter compounds, beer aroma had an impact on the perceived bitterness intensity and attributes, and dry-hopped beer had a relatively intense antioxidant capacity. This study facilitated the development of a detailed knowledge about the assessment of bitter-tasting perceptions in dry-hopped beers and provided a basis for the development of functional beer benefiting human health. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Understanding the contribution of hop essential oil to the multisensory profile of beer is known to be challenging because of its chemical and sensory complexity. Limited research has been conducted investigating hop-derived volatiles' role in the modulation of taste and mouthfeel sensations. Supercritical CO₂ can be used to extract specific fractions from hop oil, thereby enabling the localisation of compounds responsible for different sensory impressions. Terpene alcohol and sesquiterpene fractions were extracted from a Magnum hop oil and further fractionated into seven sub-fractions and individual compounds. All extracts were evaluated in lager (4.5% v/v) by a trained panel (n = 10) using a newly developed attribute lexicon and following a sensory descriptive analysis approach. The sensory data was analysed using ANOVA, followed by Tukey's test (HSD) and correlated with chemical profile data obtained by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) by Principal Component Analysis. The study revealed evidence for hop extracts to impart multisensory characteristics to beer due to sensory interactions within and across modalities. The monoterpene alcohols-rich fractions and particularly geraniol, added fruity- and floral aromas and flavours, modified the sweetness and induced a smooth bitterness in the beer matrix. Flavouring the beer with sesquiterpene fractions resulted in a harsh bitterness sensation. Contrary to previous findings, the humulene epoxides fraction appeared to have limited effects on lingering bitterness and astringency, illustrating the need for temporal sensory assessments in future studies. This research shows that splitting hop oil into fractions and sub-fractions provides a source of natural, sustainable flavouring preparations with distinct sensory characteristics.

Abstract
Hop-growing has had a long tradition in the Czech Republic, and it remains in the interest of the Czech economy to further develop this agricultural sector. With an almost one-tenth share of the harvest, the Czech Republic is the third largest producer of aroma hops in the world after Germany and the US, which together account for over two-thirds of the hop market. The purpose of this article is to describe the current state of the Czech and global markets in hops, and the position of the dominant company, Chmelarstvi, druzstvo Zatec, on this market. Towards the end of 2017, the area of hop fields in the Czech Republic reached 4,945 ha, which is the most in the last 7 years. Year-over-year, this represents an increase of 3.4%. The increase was caused by the current demand for quality Czech hops and the weak European harvest in 2015. Thus, the storehouses emptied, and breweries' stores all over the world, to which 80% of domestic hop production is supplied, ran out. Since then, demand and prices have increased to a level that has begun to cover the costs of hop production. This has also meant that investments in hop production have increased. With the increasing area of hop fields in the Czech Republic, hop growers have to deal with a significant problem, which is the unavailability of workers.

Abstract
Some chemical compounds, especially alcohol, sugars, and alkaloids such as hordenine, have been reported as elicitors of different emotional responses. This preliminary study was based on six commercial beers selected according to their fermentation type, with two beers of each type (spontaneous, bottom, and top). Chemometry and sensory analysis were performed for all samples to determine relationships and patterns between chemical composition and emotional responses from consumers. The results showed that sweeter samples were associated with higher perceived liking by consumers and positive emotions, which corresponded to spontaneous fermentation beers. There was high correlation (R = 0.91; R2 = 0.83) between hordenine and alcohol content. Beers presenting higher concentrations of both, and higher bitterness, were related to negative emotions. Further studies should be conducted, giving more time for emotional response analysis between beer samples, and comparing alcoholic and non-alcoholic beers with similar styles, to separate the effects of alcohol and hordenine. This preliminary study was a first attempt to associate beer compounds with the emotional responses of consumers using non-invasive biometrics.

Abstract
Prior work suggests humans can differentiate between bitter stimuli in water. Here, we describe three experiments that test whether beer consumers can discriminate between different bitterants in beer. In Experiment 1 (n = 51), stimuli were intensity matched; Experiments 2 and 3 were a difference from control (DFC)/check-all-that-apply (CATA) test (n = 62), and an affective test (n = 81). All used a commercial non-alcoholic beer spiked with Isolone (a hop extract), quinine sulfate dihydrate, and sucrose octaacetate (SOA). In Experiment 1, participants rated intensities on general labeled magnitude scales (gLMS), which were analyzed via ANOVA. In Experiment 2, participants rated how different samples were from a reference of Isolone on a 7-point DFC scale, and endorsed 13 attributes in a CATA task. DFC data were analyzed via ANOVA with Dunnett's test to compare differences relative to a blind reference, and CATA data were analyzed via Cochran's Q test. In Experiment 3, liking was assessed on labeled affective magnitude scales, and samples were also ranked. Liking was analyzed via ANOVA and rankings were analyzed with a Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test. Experiment 1 confirmed that samples were isointense. In Experiment 2, despite being isointense, both quinine (p = 0.04) and SOA (p = 0.03) were different from Isolone, but no significant effects were found for CATA descriptors (all p values > 0.16). In Experiment 3, neither liking (p = 0.16) or ranking (p = 0.49) differed. Collectively, these data confirm that individuals can discriminate perceptually distinct bitter stimuli in beer, as shown previously in water, but these differences cannot be described semantically, and they do not seem to influence hedonic assessments.

Perceived bitterness character of beer in relation to hop variety and the impact of hop aroma. Food Chem 2017; 230:215-224.

Abstract
The impact of hop variety and hop aroma on perceived beer bitterness intensity and character was investigated using analytical and sensory methods. Beers made from malt extract were hopped with 3 distinctive hop varieties (Hersbrucker, East Kent Goldings, Zeus) to achieve equi-bitter levels. A trained sensory panel determined the bitterness character profile of each singly-hopped beer using a novel lexicon. Results showed different bitterness character profiles for each beer, with hop aroma also found to change the hop variety-derived bitterness character profiles of the beer. Rank-rating evaluations further showed the significant effect of hop aroma on selected key bitterness character attributes, by increasing perceived harsh and lingering bitterness, astringency, and bitterness intensity via cross-modal flavour interactions. This study advances understanding of the complexity of beer bitterness perception by demonstrating that hop variety selection and hop aroma both impact significantly on the perceived intensity and character of this key sensory attribute.
