This study investigated the relationship between Millennials’ attitudes towards drinking craft beer and food choice factors grounding Food Choice Questionnaire (FCQ) to explore consumer priorities concerns this alcoholic beverage. A survey was administered online five thematic groups on Facebook (N = 273 enthusiasts), including FCQ’s items assessing beers. Correlation analysis after defining fa...

Epidemiological studies have shown an association between consumption of alcoholic beverages, particularly beer, and carcinoma of the large bowel, especially the rectum. We studied the effects of chronic dietary beer and ethanol consumption on experimental colonic carcinogenesis, fecal bile acid and neutral sterol levels, fecal bacterial flora, and colonic epithelial DNA synthesis. Ten-week-old...

A method is introduced, which permits the determination of melibiase (a-galactosidase) in non-pasteurized Lager beers. Typically, melibiase activities of about 40 Units per litre are encountered for non-pasteurized Danish Lagers (Pilsner). The properties of melibiase in Lager beer have been examined. The rate constants for inactivation of melibiase in Lager beer of pH 4 have been determined at ...

Parallel brewing trials were performed in laboratory brewery. For beer wort hopping, hop pellets of diff erent age (“slightly aged” and “strongly aged” one) and storage indexes (0.35 and 0.59, respectively) were used. During brewing were measured bitterness, utilization of -acids and index of -acids isomerization. Mature beers were evaluated by panel taste testing. Th e results of panel testi...

Non-specific lipid transfer protein (LTP) in barley grain reacted with the IgE in 26 sera drawn from food allergy patients. A sandwich-type of enzyme-linked immunosorbent 27 assay (ELISA) was developed with mouse monoclonal antibodies raised against LTP 28 purified with barley flour. This ELISA showed a practical working range of 0.3–3 ng/mL 29 and no cross-reactivity with wheat, adlay and rye....

Individuals display high levels of trust and express feelings of safety when interacting with social ingroup members. Here, we investigated whether cues related to ingroup membership would change perceptions of the safety of alcohol. Participants were exposed to images of beer in either a standard can or a can featuring the colors of their university (i.e., 'fan cans'). We hypothesized that exp...

Two mathematical models were developed for studying the effect of main fermentation temperature (TMF), immobilized cell mass (MIC) and original wort extract (OE) on beer fermentation with alginate-chitosan microcapsules with a liquid core. During the experiments, the investigated parameters were varied in order to find the optimal conditions for beer fermentation with immobilized cells. The bas...

For an unknown number of years running up to the end of nineteenth century, beer-drinkers in Manchester and the north-west of England suffered an insidious assault to their health a form of paralysis termed peripheral neuritis. The condition was the result of consuming dangerous quantities of arsenic contained unsuspected and undetected in their beer. The source of the poison was contaminated b...

Migrant beer promoters in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam were surveyed to determine their experiences in accessing reproductive health care services in the cities of Phnom Penh, Vientiane, Bangkok, and Hanoi. A total of 7 health care institutions were chosen as popular with migrant beer promoters. Staff at these institutions provided information on the institution, and 390 beer promoters...

A method for determining the concentration of iodide in beer using high-performance liquid chromatography/electrochemical detection was developed. Simple sample pretreatment of beer was performed using a monolithic silica disk-packed spin column, with a recovery rate of 84.9%. Separation of iodide ions from other endogenous compounds was carried out using a mobile phase of 10 mM sodium phosphat...
