The Influence of Heavy Metal Ions on Beer Flavour Stability

C. Zufall1, and Th. Tyrell

Abstract:
J. Inst. Brew. 114(2), 134–142, 2008 In this study, the importance of iron and copper ions and their radical formation via the respective Fenton and Haber-Weiss reactions was confirmed. Of the other heavy metals present in the brewing process in relevant concentrations, the impact of manganese ions on beer flavour stability has been elucidated. In contrast to iron and copper, manganese ions are not removed from wort or beer to any great extent during the process. Additionally, manganese shows a similar radical-promoting effect to that seen with iron and copper. Its reactivity, and typically higher concentration than the other two metals in beer, appear to make manganese an especially potent pro-oxidant in beer. The results of the investigation clearly indicate that there are other heavy metals influencing the stale flavour characteristics of beer, in addition to the well-known metals, iron and copper. In contrast to the aforementioned ions, manganese does not enter the product by being leached out of a tank or from piping materials, but rather comes from the cereals employed in brewing. This finding, concerning the importance of manganese as a redox system in beer staling, can serve as a basis for a different approach in the choice of raw materials. Key words: chemiluminescence, copper, flavour stability, heavy metal ions, iron, manganese, radical reactions. Load full article, 9 pages, 0.98 MB , PDF file
