Scientific Digest
Where the aroma hides in hops and other fruits
ABSTRACT
If it is about sulfur containing aroma compounds in hops, this research group is leading the way. Several of their projects in the past years focused on polyfunctional thiols in beers. In 2012 the team reported the evidence of S-cysteine conjugates. Now they have subjected 4 different hop varieties, Saaz (CZ), Tomahawk (US), Cascade (US) and Nelson Sauvin (NZ) to an enzyme treatment (a β-lyase treatment, apotryptophanase) to see which free thiols would be detectable and to estimate the flavor potential of these hidden flavor compounds. Free thiols were then extracted and quantified by GC-PFPD. Polyfunctional thiols with sensory impact are known in the wine industry and were also identified in different fruits. Furthermore cysteine- and glutathione-S-conjugates have also been found in passion fruit juice, onions and bell peppers. The Cascade hop variety exhibited the highest potential, with 1641μg/kg of 3-Mercapto-hexan-1-ol (grapefruit) released. This value is 14 to 22 times the amount of free thiols previously found in this variety (73-117 μg/kg) By comparison, the treatment of Tomahawk, Nelson Sauvin and Saaz extracts released only 276, 261 and 316 μg/kg of this compound, respectively. Also the yield of other components were quite remarkable. Free the fruits in your hops with the help of enzymes!

Russia: Vodka loses share to beer in overall alcohol sales in January
|
If anything is emblematic of Russian cuisine, it’s vodka—sipped along with a meal or gulped down in a shot (or several). But the country’s iconic booze is losing ground to beer, according to government data released this week (link in Russian).
Despite efforts to revive vodka sales and a beer industry crippled by the ruble’s fall, Russians are buying less of the spirit compared to last year, while sales of wine and beer have risen.
According to Rosstat data, vodka’s share in overall acohol sales to the population in January 2015 dropped to 41.5% from 44.4% in January 2014, whereas beer’s share over the reporting period grew to 40% from 37.7% a year ago.
Overall, alcohol prices have been increasing in the country, with the government trying to curb excessive drinking through taxes and regulation. (Indeed, alcoholism is a plague in Russia: One in four men die before they are 55, and according to an extensive study, in large part because of “excess vodka use.”)
Russian alcohol preferences have been swinging back and forth during the country’s recent economic turbulence. Vodka consumption has been on the decline, but the Kremlin is working to change that. Beer consumption, which has been on the rise for

Australia: Heineken sales drop in Australia as consumers don’t like it being brewing locally
|
The Australian arm of global beer giant Heineken has suffered a drop in sales as more trendy inner-city types with beards spurn the local brew because it is made at Lion's commercial brewery in Sydney, and not imported like many other premium beer rivals, Brisbane Times reported on March 6.
Heineken's joint venture with food and beverages group Lion squeezed out a tiny increase in profit last year, even though sales went backwards by 9.2 per cent to A$65.8 million.
The joint venture brews Heineken under a licence for the Australian market at Lion's Lidcombe brewery in western Sydney.
The fact Heineken is brewed in Australia for the local market rather than being an "imported" beer seems to matter to discerning customers.
Pablo Theodoros, manager at East End Cellars in the trendy East End of Adelaide's CBD, says sales of Heineken and other more mainstream premium beers have fallen away and there are regular instances where customers will ask specifically if it is the imported Heineken being stocked or the one brewed in Australia.
"A lot of people do ask about that and they then tend to go for a locally brewed craft beer," he says.

Brazil: Owners of the only brewery in Amazon undeterred by neither jungle, nor high taxes
|
The high wall that separates Amazon Beer’s brewery and bottling plant from the teeming jungle hardly holds back the snakes, monkeys and giant hairy spiders. But invasive animals are only one of the challenges faced by Arlindo Guimarães and his son Caio in developing the only craft brewery in the Amazon, Latinvex reported on March 4.
“A lot of people thought my dad was crazy,” says Caio, 27. Looking at the plant’s location in Belém, capital of Brazil’s vast northwestern state of Pará, it’s easy to see why they might think so. The jungle’s intense heat and humidity affect the fermentation process and suck flavor from beers. Moreover, the notoriously bad roads in one of Brazil’s poorest regions create a logistics nightmare. And perhaps even more off-putting: while Brazil ranks fourth worldwide in beer consumption, most Brazilians drink watery mass-market beers.
But these challenges, further complicated by the high Brazilian taxes that absorb earnings, failed to deter Arlindo, 55, who has a background in software technology and founded Amazon Beer as a small brewery and brewpub in 2000. As Caio, who joined him in 2004, explained, his father’s travels exposed him to the pleasure—and profit potential—of craft beer in the U.S. and

Hong Kong: Hongkongers showing increasing interest in craft beer
|
Hongkongers have embraced the freshness and flavour of independently brewed beers, scmp.com reports.
"You often see industrial beer kegs sitting on the side of a road in the sun or on the floor of a bar because they are pumped full of preservatives and can last in those conditions for a very long time," says James Matheson, manager of Craft Brew & Co, one of several bars specialising in craft beers that have opened recently.
By contrast, freshness is essential for artisanal, or craft, beers. "There are no preservatives in craft beer, so it is essential to treat them as perishable items, which deteriorate the longer they are exposed to heat or oxygen. This is why we store all our beers in our cold room to ensure maximum freshness and quality," says Matheson.
Rohit Dugar, founder of local brewery Young Master Ales and one of the partners behind Mong Kok craft beer bar, TAP — The Ale Project, says "Craft beer is about using high-quality ingredients, showcasing variety and range of flavours, and embracing flavour".
Dugar says the reason for choosing craft over industrial "is like asking why should people try better food or better wine or simply live better. Everyone who enjoys

USA: MillerCoors expands Redd’s apple ale brand
|
Redd’s Wicked Mango started showing up on store shelves in the US this week as MillerCoors expands the apple ale brand, Sun Times reported on March 5.
Wicked Mango, which is 8 percent alcohol by volume, is available in 24- and 16-ounce single cans, as well as in 12 packs of 10-ounce cans.
The other addition to the Redd’s Apple Ale brand is Green Apple Ale (5 percent ABV). It comes in 16-ounce cans, or six and 12 packs of bottles.
“Last year, Redd’s Apple Ale and Redd’s Wicked Apple pushed boundaries by offering bold flavors and dialed up refreshment, to which our drinkers responded positively,” said David Kroll, MillerCoors vice president of marketing and insights. “The introduction of Redd’s Green Apple and Redd’s Wicked Mango flavors continues our commitment to innovation that exceeds our drinkers’ demands.”
The Redd’s brand, introduced in late 2012, is a flavored golden ale. The sweeter taste is designed to appeal to young adults and people who might not otherwise drink beer.
Chicago-based MillerCoors is a joint venture owned by London-based SABMiller PLC and Denver-based Molson Coors Brewing Co.

The new Carlsberg Hof Organic is an organic variation of the classic light lager beer and hit the shelves in early March 2015.

Organic beer has come to stay, and we chose to kick off the spring with the launch of the classic Carlsberg Hof in a new organic variation” says Henric Bystrom, Communications Manager, Carlsberg Sverige.
