Scientific Digest


MORE SPECIFICS WHY HOPS ARE GOOD TO INCREASE FLAVOUR STABILITY

ABSTRACT
German brewing scientists have already been looking into this for a couple of years. The ability of hop constituents to suppress the formation of 3-methylbutanal and 2-furfural in wort-like model systems containing maltose, leucine, and Fe2+ was investigated. The functional principle by which hop alpha-acids and beta-acids diminish the formation of 3-methylbutanal and 2-furfural may be ascribed to their unique molecular structure and chemical properties. This allows them to perturb oxidative or nonoxidative formation of aldehydes. Findings from this study indicate that antioxidative potential may be explained through, but not necessarily limited to, two mechanisms. First, because of the hop alpha-acids' complexation functionality towards transition metal ions such as iron and copper, they can block or attenuate oxidative pathways of the Maillard reaction and suppress the generation of reactive oxygen species, thereby preventing oxidative degradation of leucine to 3-methylbutanal. Second, once hydroxyl radicals are formed, they can act directly as antioxidants and suppressing free radical reactions with leucine again, which can yield its corresponding aldehyde. Other aldehydes may show the same behavior and response to the presence to hop alpha-acids.

Brewery news The Philippines: San Miguel Brewery to get tax refund for 2012
The Court of Tax Appeals’ (CTA) Second Division has ordered the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) to return P761,063,826.70 in excise tax overpaid by beer maker San Miguel Brewery Inc. (SMB) in 2012, The Manila Times reported on June 19.

In a 33-page decision promulgated June 9, the tax court granted the petition for review filed by the brewery on December 19, 2013 seeking a tax credit certificate, if not a refund.

“In sum, petitioner has sufficiently proven that it had overpaid the excise taxes due on its removals of ‘San Mig Light’ for the period of January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012 in the amount of P761,063,826.70,” the CTA noted.

The CTA en banc has held in several rulings that “San Mig Light” was a new brand and not a variant, thus, subject to a P15.49 per liter excise tax rate instead of P20.57 per liter.

“Consequently, there was an erroneous, excessive and/or illegal assessment and collection in the amount of P5.08 per litre removal of petitioner’s ‘San Mig Light,’” the decision said.

The court noted an independent certified public accountant was able to reconcile and compute the excise taxes on San Mig Light based on excise tax returns and what was in ...More info on site


Brewery news Japan: Nonalcoholic beers conquering the market
With their nonalcoholic beers gaining popularity and sales of the real stuff declining, Japan's Kirin Brewery and Suntory Beer are switching gears, the Nikkei Asian Review reported on June 18.

Kirin plans to boost monthly production of its Zeroichi, which is selling beyond the company's expectations, to three times the initial target, while Suntory is increasing the June-July production of its All-Free by about 10% from a year ago. This will lift Suntory's full 2017 production target by 4%, to 7.2 million cases [one case equals 20 633ml bottles].

The industry says more Japanese are turning to these and similar products so they can feel as though they are out drinking while really at work or doing daytime chores.

Kirin sold 630,000 cases of Zeroichi - nearly 50% of its initial annual target - in just two months.

The brewery's president, Takayuki Fuse, said Zeroichi's unexpectedly strong sales are partly attributable to Japan's changing lifestyles.

"The [government's] work reform drive has expanded the breadth of lifestyles," Fuse said. "There are more people who finish work for the day and then still have to do child-rearing and household chores, and these people want something refreshing that does not get them drunk."

Suntory estimates that nonalcoholic beer sales ...More info on site

Brewery news Ethiopia: Heineken launches Walia Radler beer
Heineken Brewery Share Company has introduced a new beer to Ethiopia’s market. The new beer is dubbed Walia Radler and has 2.5 percent alcohol content, 2merkato reported on June 19.

The launch came a week after BGI Ethiopia disclosed it intends to introduce Beaufort beer.

Walia’s new brand is a blend of lemon and regular beer giving it distinctive taste from other beers in the market. It is also the second brand Heineken introduced to the Ethiopian market this fiscal year, the first one being Heineken Beer.

The history of radler beer dates back to the early years of 20th century. It is believed to be first introduced in Germany.

“This fusion is made for the consumer who would like to experience the exploding taste of lemon in beer,” the manufacturers explained.

It was after acquiring Harar and Bedele breweries that Heineken established itself in the Ethiopian market. Currently there are 7 breweries operating in Ethiopia with an annual production capacity of 12 million hectolitres.

Back in 2013 the per capita beer consumption in Ethiopia stood at 5 litres while latest reports show it now has reached 10 litres.

BGI takes the biggest market share, 38 percent, while Heineken stands second with a 30 percent ...More info on site


Brewery news India: Study finds 47 percent Indian millennials prefer beer over any other liquor
Individuals living in Gurugram and Bengaluru consume the highest amount of beer with people of Mumbai preferring to get high on hard drinks, according to a survey.

Crownit, a consumer group marketing and data platform, conducted a survey across pubs in Gurugram, Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru to understand drinking patterns and alcohol preferences of young consumers and found that 47 percent Indian millennials prefer beer over any other liquor.

The survey that involved one lakh users, took place between March and April this year.

While 57 percent millennials in Bengaluru and Gurugram consume beer, the highest consumption of hard drinks is by individuals in Mumbai at 33 percent, closely followed by Delhi at 32 percent.

Wine is still catching up in comparison, with the average consumption in these cities ranging from 1-2 percent.

The data collected is based on the consumption of mainly four categories of alcoholic beverages - beer, hard drinks, cocktails and wine.

The study also highlights that the consumption of alcohol is highest among millennials on the weekends, most commonly between 8 p.m and 2 a.m.

In addition, Crownit's survey revealed the increasing preference for various flavours and variants of beer such as bottled, draught and freshly-brewed. ...More info on site


Brewery news Uganda: Government changes the way of calculating beer tax
In order for Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) to collect the required Shs15 trillion tax revenue, Parliament approved 72 amendments on income tax, excise duty, Value Added Tax (VAT) and EAC Common External Tariff, AllAfrica.com reported on June 21.

The tax measures, according to Ms Doris Akol, the URA Commissioner General, will enable the government to collect Shs400 bln during the financial year 2017/18. URA's collection is up from the Shs13.1 trillion in 2016/17.

Despite the contestations from the beer industry players, the government has gone on to change the way it calculates the tax on beer. In the past, the government has been imposing a percentage rate depending on the local material content (excluding water) used in the manufacturing process. Any raw material used that is about 75 per cent of the ingredients attracted an excise duty rate of 30 per cent; whereas other malted beer (less than 25 per cent of locally sourced ingredients) attracted a 60 per cent excise duty rate. However, the amendment to the Excise Duty Act is for the government to charge 60 per cent or Shs1,860 per litre, whichever is higher on malted beer. On beer that has 75 per cent local raw material, the ...More info on site
