Scientific Digest


HOP VARIETY CATEGORIZATION ACCORDING TO THE FREEDOM OF AROMA COMPOUNDS?

ABSTRACT
We now understand that there are several possible factors affecting the release of relevant aroma compounds during the brewing process that have a high flavour impact in finished beer. These Japanese researchers took a close look at the influence of geraniol. With the investigation of a total of 42 hop varieties, they found that many hop varieties could be classified in two geraniol-rich "Flavour Hop" groupings, which tend to contribute a large amount of beta-citronellol to finished beer. The two types are designated as "free geraniol dominant hops" and "geraniol precursor dominant hops". Free geraniol dominant hops contain mainly free geraniol at high levels along with some geraniol precursors. These include varieties such as NZ Motueka, US Bravo, US Cascade, US Citra, and US Mosaic. Conversely, geraniol precursor dominant hops contain mainly the geraniol precursors at high levels and to a lesser extent, free geraniol. Examples here are AUS Vic Secret, D Comet, D Hallertau Blanc, and D Polaris. Maybe something worth looking into when you define your next beer recipe!

Diversified conglomerate San Miguel Corp. (SMC) has consolidated its food and beverage business under San Miguel Food and Beverage Inc. (SMFB), formerly known as San Miguel Purefoods Co., GMA News reported on April 6.

The consolidation came after the two companies signed a deed of exchange, in which SMC transferred to SMFB 7.859 billion common shares of beer business San Miguel Brewery Inc. and 216.972 million shares of liquor arm Ginebra San Miguel Inc. for a total transaction value of P336.349 billion, SMFB corporate secretary said in a regulatory filing on April 5.

In November last year, SMC bared plans to consolidate its food and beverage businesses and San Miguel Purefoods, which will then be renamed as SMFB.

On March 23, 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the change of San Miguel Purefoods' corporate name to reflect the company’s expansion into the alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage business.

As consideration for its acquisition of the exchange shares, SMFB shall issue unto SMC 4,242,549,130 common shares of its capital stock or the new shares of SMFB.

The issuance of the new SMFB shares to SMC and transfer of the exchange shares to SMFB is conditioned upon the approval by the SEC, according to the company.

Barley news Canada: Malting barley crop “the best in the last decade” this year
Hot, dry weather before last fall’s harvest helped produce the best malting barley in the last decade in Western Canada, Kevin Sich, the supply chain director at Rahr Malting in Alix, Alberta, one of the country’s biggest processors, was quoted as saying by Bloomberg on April 5.

The high-quality crop has seen strong demand. From August through March, the nation’s exports surged 77 percent from a year earlier, industry data show.

“Everybody’s realizing the Canadian crops have high value this year,” Sich said by telephone. “There’s been a lot of appetite for Canadian barley” since it’s “a dream to work with” for brewers, he said.

Malt companies need barley to be dry so they can start and then halt the germination process, which changes the starches into sugars that can be used by distillers and brewers.

Canadian barley acres may rise 5 percent in 2018 as the grain is no longer the “forgotten stepchild” of crops amid steady prices and demand from beer makers, Sich said.
