Scientific Digest


STABILITY OF HOP AROMA COMPOUNDS IN BEER

ABSTRACT
Using the U.S. hop variety Lemondrop, a German research team investigated how beer type influences the concentrations of hop aroma compounds and how these concentrations change over time. With the GC-method described they were able to determine not only monoterpene alcohols and some sesquiterpenes, but also various esters in the late and dry hopped beers. The results showed significantly higher concentrations of the mono- and sesquiterpenes myrcene, beta-caryophyllene, alpha-humulene, beta-farnesene and beta-limonene in the pale ale style beer when compared to pilsner type beer (maybe filtration has an effect). No significant differences in these two beers styles were found for the more polar terpene alcohols linalool, geraniol, and alpha-terpineol. Only the amount of beta-citronellol differed, which was lower in the pale ale. The behavior of esters among themselves was different. A significantly higher amount of isoamyl acetate was detectable in the pale ale, and little difference was seen in 2-methylbutyl isobutanoate between the two beers types. Ethyl dodecanoate was detectable in a higher amount in the pilsner as compared to the pale ale. It was thought that perhaps the differences for esters were influenced by the types of yeast used in fermentation. A higher concentration of 2-undecanone was seen in the pale ale but no significant differences were detected for 2-nonanone and 2-decanone. With regard to stability of the aroma compounds, all showed a decrease in concentration over the storage time of 12 months except for alpha-terpineol.

Brewery news India: Heineken likely to ask Vijay Mallya to step down from board of United Breweries - sources
Heineken is likely to ask Vijay Mallya, who owes creditor banks more than $1 billion, to step down from the board of United Breweries, India's largest brewer, three people with direct knowledge of the plan told Reuters.

They said such a move would likely be a prelude to the Dutch drinks firm raising its stake in the maker of Kingfisher beer to above 50 percent, betting on a small but fast-growing beer market.

Heineken acquired a 37.5 percent stake in United Breweries in 2008 through its takeover of Scottish & Newcastle and has since increased its holding to 42.4 percent. With Mallya distracted by debts from a collapsed airline venture, this could be a timely grab by Heineken in a market that is growing much faster than the global average.

Two-thirds of Indians don't drink alcohol, often for religious or cultural reasons, but rapid urbanization and a rising middle class are changing consumer habits. India accounts for 13 percent of world beer consumption, and annual volume growth is expected to outpace the global average, and major markets like China, through 2019, according to ratings agency Moody's.

The sources said Heineken was considering asking Mallya to step down from the United Breweries board he chairs. ...More info on site


Brewery news Vietnam: Vietnam brewers calling for government to rethink new luxury tax policy
Many brewers in Vietnam, one of the largest beer markets in Asia, are calling for the government to rethink its new luxury tax policy, saying higher taxes will push prices up and hurt sales, Thanh Nien News reported on March 18.

According to local media reports, the companies said at a meeting on March 16 that they are very concerned about their business.

On January 1, the special consumption tax rate on beer was increased from 50 percent to 55 percent.

On top of that, new regulations also changed how the tax is calculated. Brewers are now required to work out the average retail price of a product, then add 7 percent to that number to come up with the final taxable price.

Speaking at the meeting, Le Hong Xanh, deputy CEO of the country's biggest beer maker Sabeco, said the government should suspend the new rules for at least one year, or brewers will have to increase their prices to make up for the tax hike.

Nguyen Hong Linh, CEO of Habeco, another major brewer, agreed. He said businesses need more time to prepare for the changes and reduce business risks.

He pointed out that the new rules were announced at ...More info on site


Brewery news USA: MillerCoors to keep its name and headquarters in Chicago
MillerCoors will keep its headquarters in Chicago after Molson Coors purchases the 58 percent of the joint venture that it doesn't already own, The Denver Post reported on March 17.

MillerCoors will also keep its name, according to a letter that Molson Coors CEO Mark Hunter sent to employees on March 17. The business will be called "MillerCoors, a Molson Coors company," the letter said.

And Molson Coors will keep its corporate operational headquarters in Denver, the letter said.

Molson Coors announced in November that it was buying the rest of MillerCoors, a deal valued at $12 billion.

The purchase is part of Anheuser-Busch InBev's $107 billion proposed tie-up with SABMiller, which currently owns a majority share of MillerCoors. SABMiller is divesting its half of MillerCoors to ease anti-trust concerns.

InBev's takeover of SABMiller is subject to review by government regulators. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of this year.

The announcement on March 17 ends months of uncertainty, especially for MillerCoors employees in Chicago.

Hunter wrote in the letter that the company wants to ease any anxieties over the acquisition "as quickly as possible as decisions are made."

"While these are exciting times for both organizations, we recognize the anxiety and distraction that ...More info on site
