Presence of Carbonyl Compounds in Beers - A Brief Review

Abstract

This work aimed to perform a brief literature review on methodologies for the determination of carbonyl compounds in beer, their interference in the quality of the beverage and their effects on human health. Bibliographic materials were selected from different databases published between 2017 and 2021. About 50 titles were selected, of which 24 were chosen for this review considering their adherence to the topic. Derivatization was the most used treatment for sample preparation and chromatography the most used technique for measuring analytes. The identification of carbonyl compounds shows the relevance of analytical methods for monitoring these compounds in beer and its components.
