The objective of this study was to highlight the recent advancements in quality improvement of Canadian HB for malting purposes. Five advanced HB lines were evaluated for various barley and malt quality characteristics. All hulless lines exhibited lower grain hardness and slightly lower kernel weight and diameter compared to AAC Synergy (a popular two-rowed covered Canadian variety). The average total starch content of the hulless barley lines (64.2%) was significantly higher than AAC Synergy (59.9%) but slightly lower than that of CDC Clear (65.1%). Despite the low friability values, HB malts had a crumbly texture with good solubility and enzyme accessibility resulting in ample production of fermentable sugars. The average chain length of starch hydrolysis products in wort of new HB lines was similar to that of AAC Synergy, indicating sufficient enzyme activities and a highly effective hydrolysis. The fine-grind extract levels from hulless malt were on average 8% higher than from AAC Synergy, and several new HB lines exceeded the level of CDC Clear extract by 0.7–1.0%. Compared to CDC Clear, the new HB lines showed a significant reduction in concentration of wort ß-glucans. The concentration and the average degree of polymerization of arabinoxylo-oligosaccharides in wort of HB lines were generally higher than in wort of AAC Synergy, partly explaining the higher viscosity of HB worts. In general, the recently developed HB lines exhibited excellent malting potential with significant improvements in the levels of malt enzymes, concentration of free amino nitrogen compounds, and β-glucans in wort.","PeriodicalId":17225,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Society of Brewing Chemists","volume":"81 1","pages":"299 - 307"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41766278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Metal ions, in particular iron and copper, have a prooxidative effect and therefore accelerate beer flavor deterioration. Recent studies suggest that hop constituents may complex metal ions in beer thereby suppressing their negative effect on beer flavor stability. Using benchtop wort boiling experiments and quantitating metal ions in the cast wort, this study determined that different whirlpool additions of up to 3.0 g/L hop extract or up to 17.4 g/L pellets significantly reduced metal ion concentrations in wort, especially Fe, which was reduced by a factor of up to 6 compared to the control. Based on identified dose- and product-related effects, 2.5-hL brewing trials were performed using a selection of whirlpool hopping levels with either extract or pellets revealing significant differences in resinous and sweaty flavor. The flavor of the beer hopped with 5.8 g/L pellets was perceived as 8 times more resinous and 9 times sweatier than the control revealing clear differences between extract and pellets, especially at the lower hopping levels. The beer flavor stability was predicted using ESR spectroscopy and verified by performing forced aging experiments at 30 °C and monitoring beer flavor changes by sensory evaluation. Results indicate that both extract and pellet whirlpool hopping improve beer flavor stability by reducing the formation of age-related off-flavors and by supporting the retention of flavors related to freshness with only minor variations between the two hop products.","PeriodicalId":17225,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Society of Brewing Chemists","volume":"81 1","pages":"466 - 479"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48527682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, color, chill haze, total polyphenols, total flavanoids, and flavan-3-ol monomers (catechin and epicatechin) and oligomers (procyanidin dimers and trimers) were monitored in five commercial pale-colored Belgian dry-hopped beers over 24 months of storage at 20 °C in the dark. Fresh dry-hopped beers contained unusually high levels of flavan-3-ol monomers (up to 6.6 mg/L) and oligomers (up to 14.1 and 10.2 mg/L dimers and trimers, respectively). The increase in color intensity during storage (up to 6.4°EBC) correlated with fresh beer monomer levels, while the oligomer content correlated with chill haze formation (up to 25.7°EBC). The evolution of these two physical attributes also correlated with the level of total polyphenols in the fresh beers. In a pilot-scale production, kettle hopping was shown to impart either monomers (early) or oligomers (late), while dry hopping promoted efficient extraction of both monomers and dimers (extraction yields of 62 and 74%, respectively). Dry hopping thus plays an important role in color and chill haze increase.","PeriodicalId":17225,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Society of Brewing Chemists","volume":"81 1","pages":"255 - 264"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48842007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates how apple cultivar and yeast inoculation affect the chemical and sensory properties of ciders made in Virginia. Four ciders were produced in triplicate using combinations of two different apple cultivars — Harrison, a cider cultivar and GoldRush, a dessert cultivar — and two fermentation strategies — inoculated with dry active yeast EC1118 or Pied de Cuvé (PdC) ambient fermentation. Ciders were analyzed for alcohol content, free/total SO2, titratable acidity, volatile acidity, malic acid, pH, and residual sugar. Sensory evaluation was conducted using descriptive analysis with trained panelists. Results were analyzed via analysis of variance (ANOVA) and principal component analysis. Apple cultivar and fermentation method resulted in significant differences for chemistry and sensory parameters. Malic acid concentration was greater in the control ciders while concentrations of both residual sugar and volatile acidity were higher in the PdC ciders. The interaction effect of cultivar*fermentation method influenced both malic acid and residual sugar concentrations, where concentration differences between control and ambient ciders were smaller for GoldRush than for Harrison, showing that fermentation style produced different results across cultivars. Volatile acidity produced opposite interaction effects as differences between fermentation styles were larger for GoldRush. For sensory attributes, Harrison ciders produced high intensities for multiple attributes, but also higher variability. Multiple sensory descriptors displayed interaction effects as the fermentation method produced different results in different cultivars. This study demonstrates that increasingly popular practices in the industry can produce significantly different ciders.","PeriodicalId":17225,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Society of Brewing Chemists","volume":"81 1","pages":"141 - 154"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44573872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, micro-malting methods on a laboratory scale are needed in order to determine the potential quality of raw materials, particularly of new advanced barley genotypes or registered varieties grown under alternative environmental conditions, as well as for countless R&D projects. However, the applicability of laboratory-scale results to industry is often poor and the necessary equipment expensive. The aim of this experiment was to validate and optimize a simple alternative micro-malting mesh-bag-based method to be more representative of the industrial quality than other micro-malting based methods. Comparing the new alternative method on the laboratory and industrial scale, it was observed that, in absolute terms, the quality of the malt obtained through standard micro-malting laboratory equipment is overrated compared with that obtained through the other two methods. Furthermore, the relative malt quality through the mesh-bag was closer to the industrial sample quality. There were no significant statistical allelopathic interactions between alternative bagged genotypes and genotypes used in the commercial batches. Through this alternative micro-malting method, there is the possibility to study the varietal and environmental effects on the malt quality. This alternative micro-malting bag scale was inexpensive, easy to implement, safe, and more representative of actual industrial scale data.

Recently, there has been increased interest in exploring the feasibility of using roasted malts during whisky production to control congener profile. Although roasted malts are used widely within the brewing industry to develop product color and aroma in beer, applications and challenges have not yet been established for whisky production. This study investigated a role for roasted malt as a tool to impact whisky volatile composition and the consequences of such use for production efficiency of whisky new make spirit. Pot still malt was roasted at laboratory scale (0–60 min at 80–220 °C) and incorporated into a grist (≤50% w/w) for production of new make spirit. The influence of roasting conditions on malt processing characteristics and the impact on the concentration of key roasted malt volatile compounds in distillate were assessed using response surface modelling. Concentration of aroma active pyrazines and furans increased in the distillate produced using roasted malts (particularly when using malt heated >150 °C). Key indicators of process efficiency such as wort fermentability and alcohol yield reduced as intensity of malt roasting increased. Process efficiency when using low proportions of roasted malt (10% w/w) was comparable to that when using only pot still malt, but distillate volatile profile still differed significantly.","PeriodicalId":17225,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Society of Brewing Chemists","volume":"80 1","pages":"329 - 340"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46526326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although barley malt is the material backbone of most beers, variety has until recently been largely overlooked with respect to flavor differences. In this study, 11 malt variety samples from multiple Australian and international (UK, Canada, China) growing regions were infusion mashed (65 °C) at laboratory scale to produce unboiled wort to investigate differences between the flavor profiles observed with sensory assessment and headspace-SPME gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME GC-MS). Sensory evaluation identified wort flavor differences with the control heritage samples, Maris Otter/Schooner, having the highest overall flavor complexity and acceptability. The Chinese malted Chinese/Canadian samples had the lowest overall flavor complexity rankings. Overall, flavor complexity was correlated with KI, malt protein (negative), and β-glucosidase (negative), while sweetness intensity was correlated with limit dextrinase and pH. HS-SPME GC-MS analysis focused only on compounds that were significantly different between varieties (ANOVA, P ≤ 0.05). Overall, 107 compounds were identified with significantly different levels between the varietal worts. The resultant PCA plots (overall, aldehydes, alcohols, esters, organic acids, terpenes, ketones) supported the sensory assessment, with Maris Otter and the Australian samples clustering in different PCA sectors compared to the Chinese malted Canadian/Chinese samples. These findings provide a basis for key compound identifications that influence malt flavor through the brewing process. The results have the potential to assist barley breeders in selecting optimized germplasm for future variety development and can assist maltsters and brewers to consistently target desired flavors for finished beers and potentially whisk(e)y.

It produces toxic metabolites such as enniatins (ENNs) that affect the quality and safety of barley-based products such as malt and beer, thus representing a significant concern for the cereal industries. Therefore, it is critical to reduce Fusarium spp. development and enniatin contamination in cereal-based products. Fungicides are commonly used during agricultural practices, but they are facing growing fungal resistance and environmental and health concerns. Hence, there is need to define environmentally friendly control strategies. This study highlights the ability of a bacterial strain isolated from barley kernels, namely Erwinia gerundensis 6E4, to inhibit the growth of Fusarium tricinctum and to reduce its toxigenic potential. First, E. gerundensis 6E4 exhibited a significant fungistatic activity against pathogenic fungal strains during co-cultures, with fungal growth reduced by up to 100% on Petri dishes and by about 69% in liquid medium. The bacterial strain also led to a drastic reduction (74 to 100%) of ENNs production by F. tricinctum strains over 72 h co-cultures. Based on these results, our study supports the use of E. gerundensis 6E4 as a biocontrol agent in strategies aiming at reducing the presence of Fusarium tricinctum and enniatins in cereal-based products, or as a food and feed supplement for the bio-detoxification of enniatins.","PeriodicalId":17225,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Society of Brewing Chemists","volume":"81 1","pages":"340 - 350"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45947370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
