The microbiological stabilization treatment of beer sometimes guarantees the absence microbiota. These treatments, however, are not usually done in craft beers. In this study, we have analyzed 38 beers from Spanish market and found that, 68% cases, exogenous microbiota is present. samples been classified based on their alcohol content results shown a large presence wild yeasts 100% contaminated...

In the present work, an automatic flow procedure for the sequential spectrophotometric determination of Folin-Ciocalteu reducing capacity (FC assay) and 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical cation (ABTS*+) scavenging capacity expressed as the trolox equivalent (TEAC assay) is proposed for a comparative study of antioxidant properties in food products. Exploiting the fle...

Dietary Si, as soluble orthosilicic acid (OSA), may be important for the growth and development of bone and connective tissue. Beer appears to be a major contributor to Si intake, although the Si content of beer and its bioavailability in human subjects have not been well established. Here we investigated the Si content of different beers and then estimated Si absorption from beer in healthy vo...
