Scientific Digest


THE TRUE BITTERNESS OF HUMULINONES

ABSTRACT
A couple of recent studies revealed that the increased bitterness in dry hopped beers is greatly influenced by the formation of humulinones (oxidized hop alpha-acids). Using previously established synthesis methods and preparative liquid chromatography, high-purity extracts of humulinones and hulupones were prepared for sensory testing. A trained flavour descriptive panel found humulinones to be 66% as bitter as iso-alpha-acids, and hulupones to be 84% as bitter as iso-alpha-acids. This study also found that the bitterness intensity of humulinones and hulupones are substantially higher than previous estimates of 35% and 50%, respectively. Whereas iso-alpha-acids were confirmed to be more bitter than oxidized alpha-acids and beta-acids, both hulupones and humulinones were bitter enough to potentially have a significant impact in beer, especially in dry hopped beers. The threshold value of humulinones was found to be around 8 mg/L in unhopped beer.3

Brewery news Canada: Molson Coors starts construction of its new brewery in British Columbia
Molson Coors' Canadian unit has started construction on a new British Columbia brewery.

The firm said on April 25 that the CAD200 mln (US$147 mln) facility in Chilliwack would employ about 100 people. Production is expected to start in early 2019.

The new brewery will play a "critical role in the company's supply chain", Molson Coors said. The facility will serve as the western Canadian brewing and distribution centre for beer, cider and specialty products. Construction of the site is expected to create 1,000 jobs.

The company announced plans to build the "technologically advanced" site last August. The news followed the CAD185 mln (then-US$144.5 mln) sale of its Vancouver brewery.

Earlier this month, Molson Coors along with Anheuser-Busch InBev hit back at comments from Boston Beer Co founder Jim Koch, who accused them of stifling the US craft beer market.


Brewery news Serbia: Carlsberg’s investments in Serbia total 220 mln euro since 2003
Danish brewer Carlsberg has invested 220 million euro ($239.6 million) in Serbia since it set foot in the country in 2003, the head of the regional government of Serbia's Vojvodina province, Igor Mirovic, said.

"The intensive economic development is not only a key objective but I would say the top priority," Mirovic said during the celebration of the 125th anniversary of the brewery of Carlsberg in Celarevo, in northern Serbia, according to a statement issued by Vojvodina government on April 24.

In addition to modernising the brewery in Celarevo, Carlsberg has made significant donations to the local community, which represents the biggest Danish investment in Serbia, Morten Skovgaard Hansen, charge d'affaires of the Danish embassy, said in the statement.

Carlsberg acquired a 52% stake in Pivara Celarevo in 2003. The Danish company lifted its stake in the brewery to 99.96% in 2004 and renamed it to Carlsberg Serbia. The Celarevo brewery produces the Lav, Merak, Carlsberg, Tuborg and Grimbergen Blonde brands of Carlsberg.

The Danish group lifted the annual production capacity of the Celarevo brewery to 126,900 hectolitres from 93,900 hectolitres by completing an overhaul project in 2008.



Brewery news India: Heineken calls for Mallya to quit United Breweries
Vijay Mallya is under intense pressure from Dutch brewing giant Heineken to relinquish his position as chairman of United Breweries, The Drinks Business reported on April 25.

Having inherited United Breweries (UB) from his late father, Mallya is facing a clamour to quit as chairman of the company that holds a 52% share of India’s beer market.

Dutch giant Heineken obtained a 37.5% stake in UB when it took over Scottish & Newcastle Breweries in 2008. Until then S&N had been a joint partner with the Indian brewer. At the time Mallya complained that the takeover raised questions of conflicting interests as it would give Heineken inside knowledge of UB’s strategy.

A compromised was reached, one condition of which was that Mallya would remain chairman of United Breweries for life.

But since then India’s stock market authorities have suspended Mallya from taking part in any market-related operations and from holding any responsible position in a quoted company. He is facing extradition to India over fraud allegations and has been declared a “wilful defaulter” over loans from 17 banks to prop up his failed Kingfisher airline.

Those are grounds that could be used to invalidate Heineken’s agreement with him.

Heineken now holds 43% of UB, giving it ...More info on site

Barley news Canada: Barley acreage expected to decline 8% this year
Canadian farmers across almost all provinces report that they intend to seed less barley in 2017, Statistics Canada said on April 21.

The acreage is expected to decline 8% to 5.9 million acres nationally.

As for wheat, reported intending to seed 23.2 million acres of all varieties of wheat in 2017, relatively unchanged from the area seeded in 2016. Western producers, accounting for 95% of this acreage, are expecting only a slight increase of 0.4% overall, to 22.0 million acres.


Barley news EU: Winter barley yield forecast increased to 5.82 t/ha
The European Union's crop monitoring service slightly increased its forecast of this year's soft wheat yield in the bloc to 6.05 tonnes per hectare (t/ha) from 6.02 t/ha in its initial outlook last month. This would be 8.2 percent above the average EU soft wheat yield in 2016, when the crop was hit by adverse weather, the MARS service said in a monthly report published on April 24.

It also slightly lifted its outlook for the EU's 2017 winter barley yield to 5.82 t/ha from 5.81 t/ha last month, but left the spring barley yield forecast unchanged at 4.21 t/ha.

For grain maize, MARS put the average yield at 7.13 t/ha, up from 7.12 t/ha seen last month.

In oilseeds, MARS lowered its projection of this year's rapeseed yield to 3.27 t/ha from 3.29 t/ha.

It kept its forecast of the EU's average sugar beet yield in 2017 unchanged at 74.2 t/ha.
