Development of a lexicon for staling aromas in North American lager and analysis of consumer preference and difference

Edwards van Muijen, Christina Veronique 19 December 2001 (has links)
Staling in beer is inevitable. Oxidation and increased temperatures are the main causes of stale flavors in bottled beers. Since 1934, research has been done to identify compounds and pathways involved in creating stale flavors. Although many research papers report stale flavors, there is not a lexicon per se of stale aromas for North American lagers. This study has been divided into two parts, 1) the process of developing a lexicon for stale aromas for North American lagers and its application, and 2) the use of a consumer panel to determine whether the North American lager consumer has a preference for aged versus fresh beer and whether the consumer could perceive a difference between the two. In the first study, three brands of North American lagers were aged in 27°C storage for three months and 38°C storage for two weeks. A lexicon for staling aroma for North American lagers was created, using a trained descriptive panel. The lexicon had two tiers; the first tier had five descriptors that were category headings for the second tier of descriptors. Panelists were instructed to rate the first tier descriptors, but using the descriptors in the second tier was optional. To validate the lexicon, descriptive analysis was performed on the stored samples. The data were analyzed using principal components analysis (PCA) for the first tier descriptors and generalized procrustes analysis (GPA) for the second tier descriptors. The lexicon was used successfully, characterizing the control beers as sulfury and fruity and the aged beers as sweet brown. Within the sulfury category, panelists described control beers with the attributes perm solution and skunky. Within the sweet brown category, panelists described the aged beers with the descriptors baked pineapple and honey. The beers stored at different storage temperatures behaved differently across time. The maps constructed with PCA and GPA show a tendency for control samples to start out sulfury and, through time, age with sweet brown characteristics. In the second study, a consumer panel was implemented to 1) determine if the average North American lager consumer had a preference for fresh versus stored beer, and 2) to determine if perceivable differences existed between the fresh versus stored samples. A consumer test was designed using the three North American lagers that were tested in the trained panel. The target number of consumers for each brand was 100. The aged beer was stored at 38°C for 1 and 2 weeks, and the control was stored at 1°C for that time period. A preference test, followed by a triangle test, was performed on control versus 1 week at 38°C and control versus 2 week at 38°C for each brand (2 preference and 2 triangle tests for each brand; control versus 1 week and control versus 2 weeks). The results showed no significant preference for any brand/time point. Brand A had the only significant difference (p <0.05) between samples stored at 38°C for 2 weeks and the control (The results showed no preference). Additional research must be done for more conclusive information, but this research shows that a small group of North American lager consumers do not have a preference between aged beer and fresh beer and, for the most part, cannot tell a difference between aged beer and fresh beer. / Graduation date: 2002

Development of methods for analysis and sensory threshold determination of malt derived flavor components in beer

Lukes, Bryce K. 17 May 1988 (has links)
Malt, wort and beer samples representing a single pilot brew were extracted from Celite columns with Freon 114. Total extracts were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Compounds were identified that were unique or common to beer, wort or malt and quantities present were determined for those common to the three sample types. Concentrated extracts were separated by liquid chromatography on partially deactivated silica gel packed in Teflon tubes, using Freon 11 as the solvent. Fractions from liquid chromatography were analyzed by descriptive sensory evaluation. Those fractions selected as bearing cereal-like, grassy, nutty or malty aroma characteristics were analyzed by gas chromatography. Freon extracts and fractions were found suitable for descriptive sensory evaluation and this was used to advantage in locating fractions with the desired aroma characteristics. Cereal-like, grassy, nutty or malty aroma characters were associated with liquid chromatographic fractions containing primarily alcohols, aldehydes and ketones. The Ascending Method of Limits for determination of the threshold of added substances in beer was critically reviewed and a new threshold test was developed. The new test design reduces the sample requirement from eighteen to twelve for each session. In contrast to the Ascending Method of Limits, the new test design was amenable to statistical evaluation and statement of a level of confidence for the threshold intervals determined. Both a nine-point intensity scale of difference from the labeled reference and a category scale were applied to the new test design. Intensity scale data were normalized and subjected to analysis of variance and a series of one-sided t-tests to determine individual and combined panel threshold intervals. Category scale data were analyzed by a rank sums test to determine individual thresholds and the R-index values thus obtained were subjected to analysis of variance and orthogonal contrasts of means to establish the combined panel threshold. The intensity scale method applied to the new test design provided the lowest and narrowest estimates of the threshold interval in comparative testing with the category scale method and the Ascending Method of Limits and, in addition, required fewer replications than the category scale method to establish the threshold interval. / Graduation date: 1989

A study of factors affecting the extraction of flavor when dry hopping beer

Wolfe, Peter Harold 07 August 2012 (has links)
This work set out to examine the methodologies of dry hopping, compare different hop materials, and look at the extraction behavior of different types of hop compounds. This work consists of two discrete studies, where the first study informed the design of the second. The first study measured the concentrations of hop aroma compounds extracted from Cascade hops during dry hopping using a model beer system devoid of malt, yeast aromas, and hops. Cascade hops pelletized by four different processors yielded different particle size distributions and pellet densities. These pellets were dosed into a degassed medium (water, 6% v/v ethanol, pH 4.2) and the hop aroma extraction was measured periodically over a one week period. Solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) followed by gas chromatography (GC-FID) was used to analyze the levels of aroma compounds in the extraction medium. Variation in the hop pellet physical properties did not significantly impact the extraction rate of hop volatiles such as linalool, geraniol, limonene and myrcene with one exception. One treatment showed an increased absolute concentration of geraniol. Separately, dry hop aroma extraction was measured over a short time (1 day) at room temperature in an unhopped beer using small-scale (1L), stirred vessels. Irrespective of the hop form (whole or pellet), the concentrations of hydrocarbon terpenes peaked between 3 and 6 hours and subsequently declined, while the concentrations of terpene alcohols continued to increase throughout the 24 hour dry hop extraction. The rate of hop aroma extraction did not appear to be significantly influenced by hop pellet properties and occurred rather rapidly regardless of the hop form. The second study examined the extraction of hop aroma compounds during a pilot brewery scale (~4hL) dry hop treatment. Dry hop treatments consisted of whole cone hops and pellet hops (Cascade cultivar, 2011 harvest) which were dosed into cylindroconical vessels which were either stirred with a pump or left quiescent. Samples were taken for GC-FID and HPLC analysis as well as sensory evaluation at various time points between 30 minutes and 12 days. Polyphenol and alpha acid extraction was highest in a stirred system dosed with pellets. Hop aroma compound extraction was also the highest in the stirred system utilizing pellet hops. The sensory panel rated the stirred pellet samples as having the highest hop aroma, bitterness, and astringency. The results showed that hop flavor from dry hopping can be readily achieved with much shorter contact time than the current 4-12 day industry practice. / Graduation date: 2013

Investigation of malt factors that influence beer production and quality

Van Nierop, Sandra 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2005. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A number of relevant brewing industry issues associated with malt quality were examined. These included beer foam quality, premature flocculation of yeast during fermentation and antimicrobial factors in malt. The cause of poor foam at a brewery relative to other similar breweries was identified as being related to the boiling temperature during wort preparation and the associated conformational changes of the abundant foam protein lipid transfer protein 1 (LTPl). The temperature range of 96 to 102°C was revealed to be critical. At the higher temperature the denaturation of LTP 1 was more extensive and its effectiveness as a foam protein was reduced. In addition, it was shown that the prominent role of LTPI with respect to foam was as a lipid binding protein, forming a lipid sink and protecting foam from lipid damage. The occurrence of malt associated premature yeast flocculation (PYF) during fermentation was induced in malt by the addition of extra-cellular fungal enzymes to the malt husk or by micro-malting barley in the presence of fungi. In addition, treating malt husk with commercial xylanase or adding commercial arabinoxylan to the fermentation also impacted on yeast flocculation. It was proposed that a range of molecular weight arabinoxylans formed by the enzymatic breakdown of the major barley husk component (arabinoxylan) resulted in PYF. Antimicrobial activity against brewing yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), other fungi and bacteria was found in barley, malt and malt derived wort trub. Wort trub is the non-specific precipitate of protein, polyphenols and lipids formed during wort boiling and which is, to some extend, carried over in the wort to the fermentation. Antimicrobial activity appeared to increase during malting. The growth of brewery collected yeast was inhibited in the presence of brewery production wort when compared to the same wort filtered to remove the trub. Brewery yeast was found to be more sensitive to inhibition than laboratory propagated yeast of the same strain. Different strains of S. cerevisiae were also found to differ in their sensitivity to inhibition. Investigation revealed that the activity originated from the inside of the barley grain and impacted on yeast sugar uptake. However, there was no direct correlation detected between levels of antimicrobial activity in malt and fermentation performance. At high concentrations the factors were microcidal causing cell lysis. Partial characterisation of an antimicrobial extract from malt revealed the presence of a factor between 5 and 14 kDa, containing a cationic peptide component. The optimum pH stability was ±5 when it was also most cationic. The factor easily and irreversibly lost activity at extreme pH and when exposed to certain reagents but was heat resistant in accordance with its survival in wort trub. Preliminary results showed the presence of LTP1 associated with other peptides in the active cationic fraction from the one malt tested. The occurrence of malt related PYF and malt antimicrobial factors are associated with microbial contamination of the grain. The fungi generating the PYF factors from the barley husk while the barley's defence mechanism generates antimicrobial factors to cope with the pathogenic effect of the fungi. In addition there is a potential link between the foam protein LTP 1 and malt antimicrobial activity as LTP 1 or LTP 1 in association with another component(s) is potentially antimicrobial. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: 'n Aantal problematiese areas in die broubedryf, wat met mout geassosieer word, is ondersoek, naamlik bierskuimkwaliteit, voortydige flokkulering van gis tydens fermentasie en die invloed van antimikrobiese faktore in mout. Die oorsaak van swak bierskuim by 'n spesifieke brouery relatief tot ander soortgelyke brouerye was geidentifiseer as die moutekstrakkookpunt tydens moutekstrakbereiding. Tydens hierdie proses ondergaan dieskuimprotein, lipiedoordrag proteien 1 (lipid transfer protein 1, LTPI), 'n konformasieverandering. Die temperature tussen 96 to 102°C was kritiek t.o.v. ideale konformasieverandering vir skuimaktiwiteit. Denaturering van LTPI het by hoër temperature plaasgevind wat die skuimproteien se aktiwitiet verminder het. Daar is ook bewys dat LTPI 'n verdere rol in bierskuim speel aangesien dit 'n lipiedbindingsproteien is wat die skuimnegatiewe lipiede verwyder. Die voorkoms van moutgeassosieerde voortydige flokkulering van gis (PYF) tydens fermentasie is op twee maniere in mout geinduseer, naamlik: • deur die toevoeging van ekstrasellulêre swamensieme tot die moutdop • deur mikrovermouting van gars in die teenwoordigheid van swamme. Die behandeling van die moutdop met kommersiele xilanase of die toevoeging van kommersiele arabinoxilaan by fermentasies het ook die flokkulering van gis beinvloed. Die hipotese was dat PYF veroorsaak is deur 'n reeks arabinoxilane met verskillende molekulêre massas wat gevorm het tydens die ensimatiese afbraakproses van die primere moutdopkomponent (arabinoxilaan). Antimikrobiese aktiwiteit teenoor brouersgis (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), ander swamme en bakterie was teenwoordig in gars, mout en moutekstrakpresipitaat. Die presipitaat bestaan uit nie-spesifieke presipitate van proteien, polifenole en lipiede wat gedeeltelik in die gekookte moutekstrak agterbly. Daar is gevind dat antimikrobiese aktiwiteit tydens vermouting toe geneem het. Die groeiproses van brouersgis, gekollekteer by 'n brouery, was geinhibeer deur die teenwoordigheid van brouery-geproduseerde moutekstrak in vergelyking met dieselfde moutekstrak wat gefiltreer was om die presipitaat te verwyder. Die brouersgis was meer sensitief heens inhibisie in vergeleke met dieselfde gisstam wat opgegroei is in die laboratorium. Verskillende S. cerevisiae stamme het ook verskille in sensitiwiteit getoon t.o.v. the antimikrobiese komponente in die moutekstrakte. 'n Verdere ondersoek het getoon dat die oorprong van die inhiberende aktiwiteit die interne dele van die gars is, asook dat dit die gissuikeropname beinvloed. Daar was egter geen direkte verband tussen antimikrobiese aktiwiteit in mout en fermentasie effektiwiteit, soos gemeet onder laboratorium toestande, nie. Hoë konsentrasies van die faktore het egter gelei tot seldood weens sellise. 'n Kationiese peptiedbevattende fraksie tussen 5 en 14 kDa en 'n optimale pH stabliliteit van 5 is gevind deur gedeeltelike karakterisering van 'n antimikrobiese moutekstrak. Die aktiewe fraksie se aktiwiteit is onomkeerbaar vernietig by ekstreme pH en blootstelling aan sekere reagense. Die aktiewe verbinding(s) is egter hittebestand en resultate het getoon dat hierdie aktiwiteit die brouproses oorleef as deel van die moutektrakpresipitaat. Voorlopige resultate van die een mout wat getoets is het die teenwoordigheid van LTP 1 getoon, asook die moontlike assosiasie met ander peptiede of kleiner komponente in die aktiewe kationiese fraksie. Die voorkoms van moutgeassosieerde PYF en antimikrobiese faktore in mout word met die mikrobiologiese kontaminasie van gars verbind. Swamme produseer die PYF faktore vanuit die moutdopkomponente, terwyl die plant weer antimikrobiese faktore produseer as deel van 'n beskermingsmeganisme teen die patogene effek van die swamme. Daar is ook 'n potensieele verwantskap tussen bierskuimproteien LTP 1 en antimikrobiese faktore in mout, aangesien LTPI ofLTPl tesame met 'n ander verbinding(s) moontlik antimikrobies is.

Harvest maturity of Cascade and Willamette hops

Sharp, Daniel C. (Daniel Collier) 18 January 2013 (has links)
Hops (Humulus lupulus L.) are primarily used to provide specific characteristics to beer, such as bitterness, aroma, flavor, and microbial stability. The chemical composition of hops, relative to how they are used during the brewing process, dictates the expression of these characteristics. Of the raw ingredients that go into making beer, hops are perhaps the most costly. Considerable resources are required to grow quality hops, and therefore, brewers and hop growers alike have a common goal of obtaining the highest quality hops possible. However, quality can be a relative term. While it is commonly agreed upon that high brewing values, such as α-acids and essential oil content, and robust structural integrity are indicators of quality hops, there are many opinions of the ideal aroma. Changes in the chemical composition of hops during plant maturation are a dynamic process requiring a comprehensive, in-depth chemical and sensory analysis in order to maximize the characteristics of interest to brewers. The complex aroma chemistry associated with hops in beer has been a confounding variable for the practical brewer, and a deeper understanding of hop aroma development during cultivation is needed. The effect of harvest date, location, and cultivar on key chemical components of Willamette and Cascade hops was investigated for the 2010 and 2011 growing seasons. Hops were harvested at 3 time points (Early, Typical, and Late), within a 3-week interval from 2 different farms in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. A split-plot experimental design for each cultivar was used; each farm represented a main plot and harvest years were designated as subplots. American Society of Brewing Chemist standard methods of analysis were used to measure moisture content, hop acids and their homologs, Hop Storage Index, total essential oil content and volatile profile by GC-FID. Additionally, difference testing, descriptive analysis, and consumer acceptance testing was conducted using beers brewed with either Typical or Late harvested Cascade hops from the 2010 harvest year. The response of analytes was dependent on the cultivar being examined, its location within the Willamette Valley, as well as days until harvest. Hop acids did not change appreciably during plant maturation for the period examined, while hop oil content increased hyperbolically to a plateau as the hops aged on the bine. Increases in oil quantity were strongly correlated (r > 0.90) with increases in α-pinene, β-pinene, myrcene, limonene, methyl heptanoate, and linalool concentrations. For Cascade, α-pinene, β-pinene, myrcene, limonene, ρ-cymene, caryophyllene, E, β-farnesene, and humulene all increased from Early to Typical points but no increase was observed between the Typical and Late time point. Linalool and methyl heptanoate increased between each time point while citral and humulene epoxide differed between Early harvest and Late harvest, but not between Early and Typical or Late and Typical harvests. For Willamette hops, α-pinene, β-pinene, myrcene, limonene, ρ-cymene, and linalool all increased between each time point. Caryophyllene, E β-farnesene, humulene, farnesol and citral all increased from Early harvest to Typical harvest but no difference was observed between Typical and Late. Clear sensory differences were found between beers brewed with Typical harvest Cascade hops and Late harvest Cascade hops, in terms of difference testing, descriptive analysis and consumer preference tests. / Graduation date: 2013

Produção e caracterização de cerveja artesanal adicionada de gengibre (Zingiber officinale) / Production and characterization of handmade ginger beer (Zingiber officinale)

Tozetto, Luciano Moro 28 April 2017 (has links)
O mercado cervejeiro passa por uma revolução voltada à produção em escala artesanal ao invés de escala industrial, devido às expectativas dos consumidores em busca de alta qualidade e novo sabor do produto final. Visando produzir uma cerveja leve com relação ao teor de extrato e álcool, com sabor diferenciado, foram realizados vários ensaios de adição de gengibre no processo de produção. O mais viável resultado foi obtido com adição de 2g L-1 de lascas de gengibre in natura na maturação. A cerveja artesanal adicionada de gengibre foi produzida em escala laboratorial, para permitir sua análise físico-química e análise sensorial. Paralelamente, foram analisadas outras vinte e oito amostras de cerveja Pilsen para efeitos comparativos com relação aos aspectos físico-químicos. De acordo com o resultado do teste sensorial, o índice de aceitabilidade global foi de 92%, estando também acima de 70% o índice dos atributos individuais avaliados. A cerveja artesanal adicionada de gengibre apresentou características mais próximas às amostras de “Cerveja” ao invés das amostras “Puro Malte”, segundo classificação com relação ao teor de malte, por meio de análises quimiométricas (PCA e HCA). Essa discriminação entre os grupos foi devida aos teores de álcool, grau real de fermentação, grau aparente de fermentação, potássio, calorias e magnésio. O produto final apresentou como características principais um baixo teor alcoólico (3,40o GL), baixo valor energético (115,44 KJ 100 mL-1) e extrato reduzido (7,81º Plato). Apesar do amargor mais acentuado (21,55 B. U.), o índice de aceitabilidade para o amargor permaneceu acima de 70%, com flavor picante e aromático. / The brewing market undergoes a revolution directing to production on a homemade scale rather than an industrial scale, due to the expectations of consumers searching high quality and new flavor of the final product. In order to produce a light beer with respect to the extract and alcohol content and different flavor, several ginger addition tests were carried out in the production process. The most viable result was obtained with addition of 2 g L-1 of ginger flakes in natura at maturation. The artisanal brewed beer of ginger was produced in laboratory scale, to allow its physical-chemical analysis and sensorial analysis. In parallel, others twenty-eight samples of Pilsen beer were analyzed for comparative purposes in relation to physico-chemical aspects. According to the result of the sensorial test, the overall acceptability index was 92% as also as individual attributes evaluated were also above 70%. The artisanal beer added with ginger showed characteristics closer to the "Beer" samples than the "Pure malt" samples, according to classification in relation to the malt content, by means of chemometric analyzes (PCA and HCA). This discrimination between groups was due to alcohol, real degree of fermentation (RDF), apparent degree of fermentation (ADF), potassium, calories and magnesium. The final product had a low alcohol content (3.40 oGL), low energy (115.44 KJ 100 mL-1) and reduced extract (7.81 oPlato). Despite the more pronounced bitterness (21.55 B. U.), the acceptability index forbitterness remained above 70%, with spicy and aromatic flavor.

Aplicação de amido modificado no processo de clarificação de cerveja artesanal / Application of modified starch in the clarifying process of the craft beer

Oliveira, Mariana Dâmaris de 21 December 2015 (has links)
O sabor da cerveja é determinado pela matéria-prima, pelo tipo de processo e pela levedura utilizada, além dos compostos produzidos durante a fermentação e maturação, que exercem maior impacto. A produção de amidos modificados é uma alternativa praticada com o objetivo de superar limitações dos amidos nativos e aumentar a utilidade deste polímero em aplicações industriais. O objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar a aplicação de amidos de milho e mandioca modificados (fosfatação e oxidação) no processo de clarificação de cerveja artesanal, visando a obtenção de uma cerveja “limpa” e translúcida. Foram elaboradas oito cervejas testando os amidos aniônicos: amido de milho oxidado 1% (MiO 1%); amido de milho oxidado 2% (MiO 2%); amido de mandioca oxidado 1% (MaO 1%); amido de mandioca oxidado 2% (MaO 2%); amido de milho fosfatado baixo (MiFB); amido de milho fosfatado alto (MiFA); amido de mandioca fosfatado baixo (MaFB); amido de mandioca fosfatado alto (MaFA). Essas amostras foram comparadas com uma cerveja submetida ao mesmo processo utilizando o clarificante goma carragena (GCar) e com uma cerveja sem adição de clarificante (SC). As amostras foram submetidas às análises de compostos fenólicos, flavonóides, biureto, espectrofotometria, turbidez e viscosidade relativa para verificar a possível ação clarificante. Foi realizada a caracterização físico-química das amostras de cerveja artesanal (pH, extrato real, acidez, teor alcóolico, extrato primitivo e grau real de fermentação). A aplicação de amidos modificados reduziu o teor de compostos fenólicos, flavonóides, proteínas, e a viscosidade relativa no decorrer do processo. Além disso, a clarificação foi notada nas análises de turbidez e espectrofotometria. Pode-se concluir que alguns amidos destacaram-se, superando os resultados apresentados pela goma carragena na etapa final do processo. No entanto, notou-se que a eficiência destes amidos ocorre a partir da maturação, diferente da goma carragena que clarifica principalmente na etapa da fervura. Em um aspecto global, sugere-se que na fosfatação, a fonte botânica não influenciou, e as amostras destaques na clarificação foram o amido de milho fosfatado baixo (2,8%) (amostra 7), o amido e milho fosfatado alto (8,6%) (amostra 8) e o amido de mandioca fosfatado alto (amostra 10). Para a oxidação a amostra que apresentou melhor desempenho foi o amido de mandioca oxidado 1% (amostra 4). / The flavor of beer is determined by the feedstock, the type of process and the yeast used, in addition to the compounds produced during fermentation and maturation, that ecxercises greater impact. The production of modified starch is an alternative practiced with the aim of overcoming the limitations of the native starches and increase the usefulness of this polymer in industrial applications. The objective of the research was evaluate the application of corn and cassava modified starches (phosphatation and oxidation) in the craft beer clarification process to getting a beer "clean" and translucent. Were elaborated eight beers testing the anionic starches: oxidized corn starch 1% (MiO 1%); oxidized corn starch 2% (myo 2%); oxidized cassava starch 1% (MaO 1%); oxidized cassava starch 2% (MaO 2%); phosphate corn starch low (MiFB); phosphated corn starch high (MIFA); phosphated cassava starch low (MAFB); phosphate cassava starch high (MAFA). These samples were compared with a beer submitted to the same process using the clarifier carrageenan gum (CARG) and with a beer without added clarifier (SC). The samples were submitted to analysis of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, biuret, spectrophotometry, relative viscosity and turbidity to verify possible clarifier action. Was realized physicochemical characterization of craft beer samples (pH, real extract, acidity, alcohol content, original extract and real degree of fermentation). The application of modified starches reduced the content of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, proteins, and the relative viscosity during the process. In addition, the clarification was noted in turbidity analysis and spectrophotometry. It can be concluded that some starches stood out, overcoming the results presented by carrageenan gum in the final stage of the process. However, it was noted that the efficiency of these starches occurs from the maturation, different of carrageenan gumthat clarifies mainly in the boiling step. In a global aspect, it is suggested that in the phosphatation, the botanical source did not influence, and the highlight samples in clarification were phosphated corn starch low (2.8%) (sample 7), phosphated corn starch high (8 , 6%) (sample 8) phosphated cassava starch high (sample 10). To the Oxidation. the sample that showed better performance was oxidized cassava starch 1% (sample 4).
