Hop varieties displayed an average content of alpha acids between 10.24% w/w (Agnus) and 13.73% w/w (Gaia). Variability below 15%, proved good stability of alpha acids content in all tested bittering hops. All varieties showed a decrease in the content of alpha acids over a period of 13 years of hop cultivation. The highest content of beta acids was determined in Gaia (7.30% w/w). In contrast, the lowest content of beta acids was found in Rubín (3.73% w/w). The new bitter genotypes Uran and 5304 had an average alpha acid content of 11.56% w/w and 10.82% w/w, respectively. Uran showed an average beta acid content of 5.47% w/w and for the genotype 5304 it was 3.61% w/w. In terms of the alpha/beta acids ratio, the hop varieties can be divided into three groups. The first group included the varieties with an alpha/beta acids ratio below 2, i.e. Vital, Boomerang and Gaia. While Agnus and Uran displayed an alpha/beta ratio slightly above 2. The highest alpha/beta ratio above 3 was found in Rubín and the 5303 genotype.","PeriodicalId":17834,"journal":{"name":"Kvasny prumysl","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78738182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After 14 day-long cultivation of Monascus purpureus in a medium containing hydrolysate as the sole source of all nutrients except carbon, the extraction of pigments and their further analysis were carried out. It was shown that a simple as well as inexpensive alkaline hydrolysis can be used to prepare a complex culture medium suitable for pigment production using fish waste.

The established system for evaluating the content of alpha acids in Czech hops consists of pre-harvest and harvest predictions and a detailed analysis of reality based on the analysis of all purchasing lots of raw hops. It is differentiated according to varieties and hop growing areas. This article presents the results of the 2022 harvest, discusses the influence of weather conditions, the age of hop gardens and virus-free seedlings on the harvest results, and the relationship of predictions to reality. The average content of alpha acids in the majority Saaz variety in the Saaz, Auscha and Tirschitz hop growing regions was 2.88, 2.80 and 2.63% by weight in the original respectively. In all areas, the alpha acid content has been significantly affected by the age of the hop growths. Hybrid varieties coped with adverse weather conditions much better than most aromatic hops. The total production of alpha acids in Czech hops from the harvest of 2022 was 182.9 tons, one of the lowest in the last 15 years. It is due to the concurrence of two factors: the low yield per hectare and the content of alpha acids in Saaz hops. The cause was, similarly to Germany, an extreme deficit of precipitation and high temperatures during the vegetation season.","PeriodicalId":17834,"journal":{"name":"Kvasny prumysl","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89433474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the functions of the packaging is to provide maximum protection against possible light degradation. Riboflavin (vitamin B2), which acts as a photosensitizer, is a key substance for the occurrence of light degradation in beer. Riboflavin absorbs light in the visible region of the spectrum and transfers its energy to other compounds. A cascade of subsequent chemical reactions leads to sensory damage to the beer. Based on the transmission spectrum of packaging (glass and plastic), the Packaging Riboflavin Index (PRFI)was introduced. PRFI was designed as a tool which quantitatively assesses the ability of packaging to protect beer from light damage. The basic types of commercially used glass and plastic packaging were compared using this index. The validity of the index was verified in an experiment with defined light damage of beer in different packaging.","PeriodicalId":17834,"journal":{"name":"Kvasny prumysl","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90279577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
