The aim of this work was to study phenolics and other active compounds in 22 kinds of lager beer and especially to find some differences between Czech beer and beers made in foreign countries. In theoretical part the most useful methods for phenolic and protein analysis are discussed. Further, basic steps of brewery technology are introduced and main beer components with regard to Czech beer specificity are presented. Analysis of total phenolics, total flavonoids, antioxidant activity and most of basic technological characteristics was performed spectrophotometrically. To identification and quantitative analysis of individual phenolics on-line liquid chromatography with photo-diode array (PDA) and mass spectrometry (MS) detection was used. Protein analysis was performed by vertical electrophoresis SDS-PAGE and by Experion microfluidic electrophoresis (BioRad). From the total of 22 samples, 15 Czech beers and 7 beers of foreign marks were enrolled into this study. In these samples levels of brewery characteristics, group antioxidants and individual phenolics were compared. Flask and can beers as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beers were compared too. As a model comparative sample the Czech hop of Sládek variety was used. Finally, usefulness of tested parameters to differentiation composition and technology of individual beer samples was evaluated and parameters suitable for Czech beer authenticity analysis were proposed.
