The effect of ultraviolet-C treatment on the biochemical composition of beer

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2012. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study describes:
· Development of analytical tools to investigate the light struck flavour (LSF) in
beer by Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS) and by liquid
chromatography mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LCMS/MS).
Development of a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method to
analyse carbohydrates in beer.
· The efficiency a pilot scale ultraviolet (UV-C) system at 254 nm to inactivate
spoilage microorganisms spiked in commercial beer. Bacteria test were
Lactobacillus brevis, Acetobacter pasteurianus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae
· A pilot scale UV treatment of commercial and non-commercial lager beers at UV
dosage of 1000 J/L. Following the UV treatment, the correlation between
chemical analyses and sensory tests conducted by consumers’ tasters were
investigated.
· A pilot scale UV treatment of non-commercial beer brewed with reduced hops
iso-α-acids (tetrahydro-iso-α-acids) at UV dosage of 1000 J/L. Sensory changes
and chemical properties were investigated.
· The development and optimisation of an UV light emitting diodes (UV-LED)
bench scale apparatus. Chemical and microbiological tests were conducted to
investigate the effect of UV-LEDs on beer at 250 nm and 275 nm wavelengths. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie beskryf:
· Die ontwikkeling van analitiese toerusting om die invloed van lig op die
smaakontwikkeling in bier te bestudeer m.b.v gaschromatografie massa
spektrometrie (GCMS) en vloeistofchromatografie massa spektrometrie/massa
spektrometrie, asook die ontwikkeling van ‘n hoë druk vloeistofchromatografiese
metode vir die analise van koolhidrate in bier.
· Die doeltreffendheid van ‘n toetsskaal ultraviolet (UV-C) sisteem om die nadelige
mikroorganismes waarmee die bier geïnnokuleer was, by 254 nm te inaktiveer..
Toetse is uitgevoer met die volgende bakterieë, Lactobacillus brevis, Acetobacter
pasteuriants en Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
· ‘n Toetsskaal UV behandeling van kommersiële en nie-kommersiële lager biere
by ‘n UV dosering van 1000 J/L. Na UV behandeling is die verwantskap tussen
chemiese analises en ‘n reeks sensoriese toetse deur vebruikers proeërs
ondersoek..
· ‘n Toetsskaal UV behandeling van ‘n nie-kommersiële bier gebrou met verlaagde
hops-iso-α-sure (tetrahidro-iso-α -sure) by UV dosering van 1000 J/L. Sensoriese
veranderinge asook chemiese eienskappe is ondersoek.
· Die ontwikkeling en optimalisering van ‘n UV-lig emissie diodes bankskaal
apparaat. Chemiese en mikrobiologiese toetse is uitgevoer om die effek van UV
lig op bier by 250 nm en 275 nm te ondersoek.
