“…Furthermore, all, except for the shake test and foam-lacing test, measure the beer samples between 20 and 25 • C, which are not the usual consumption temperatures of 4-14 • C according to the beer style [66,67]. On the other hand, the methods belonging to category (ii) are the sigma value [59], Constant method [68], foam cylinder method [69], Ross and Clark [70], foam collapse time and RoboBEER (University of Melbourne, Melbourne, VIC, Australia) [14,71,72]. These methods assess foamability and foam stability by natural formation through either manual or automatic pouring, which simulate the real way of consumption, except for the Ross and Clark method, which alters the beers by degassing the samples [11].…”

Quality control, mainly focused on the assessment of bubble and foam-related parameters, is critical in carbonated beverages, due to their relationship with the chemical components as well as their influence on sensory characteristics such as aroma release, mouthfeel, and perception of tastes and aromas. Consumer assessment and acceptability of carbonated beverages are mainly based on carbonation, foam, and bubbles, as a flat carbonated beverage is usually perceived as low quality. This review focuses on three beverages: beer, sparkling water, and sparkling wine. It explains the characteristics of foam and bubble formation, and the traditional methods, as well as emerging technologies based on robotics and computer vision, to assess bubble and foam-related parameters. Furthermore, it explores the most common methods and the use of advanced techniques using an artificial intelligence approach to assess sensory descriptors both for descriptive analysis and consumers’ acceptability. Emerging technologies, based on the combination of robotics, computer vision, and machine learning as an approach to artificial intelligence, have been developed and applied for the assessment of beer and, to a lesser extent, sparkling wine. This, has the objective of assessing the final products quality using more reliable, accurate, affordable, and less time-consuming methods. However, despite carbonated water being an important product, due to its increasing consumption, more research needs to focus on exploring more efficient, repeatable, and accurate methods to assess carbonation and bubble size, distribution and dynamics.

“…The PSEP treatment was repeated in a pilot brewing trial using two different malts (Table III). The control Gairdner and Schooner beers produced in this trial had similar levels of CBB, PRM and protein Z4 to the previous trial (Experiment 2), but almost twice the level of bitterness (35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40) and less than half the level of LTP1. The higher level of bitterness was the result of a dosing error that should have little impact on the conclusions made.…”

“…Evans et al 12 , in comparing five different foam analysis methods including NIBEM 17 , Rudin 29 , shake 18 , cylinder pour 39 and lacing tests 15 , observed that each test was generally positively influenced by beer parameters such as beer protein and the hop iso-α-acid content, and the hydrogenation of the hop α-acids. The foam tests were however biased somewhat differently with respect to of these beer foam determining parameters.…”

Influences on foam stability and cling were compared by brewing trials investigating beer hopping rate, hopping type and modification of beer protein composition by the inclusion of a proline specific protease (PSEP). The comparison of the NIBEM, Rudin and lacing foam assessment methods with the level of hopping demonstrated the superiority of hydrogenated hop α-acids with respect to foam stability and particularly lacing. In addition, the NIBEM and Rudin foam analysis tests appear to respond relatively similarly with respect to hopping rate and hop type, with the NIBEM being somewhat more responsive in terms of foam stability measurments. The PSEP trials suggested that protein composition may only have a subtle effect on foam stability. Although more specific to haze active proteins, PSEP treatment in the small and pilot scale trials generally, but not always, resulted in a minor reduction in foam stability. This effect was not observed in 20 hL pilot and industrial scale beer productions. It was verified that both NIBEM and Rudin were positively influenced by increased levels of foam positive proteins. Although both foam tests were responsive to hopping rate and type, it is suggested that the Rudin foam test is somewhat biased towards foam positive proteins, particularly albuminous foam positive proteins (LTP1 and protein Z4), while in comparison the NIBEM foam test appears somewhat biased towards hordein foam positive proteins.

“…Due to its importance for the brewing industry, many scholars and professionals came up with several methods for the determination and measurement of foam stability and quality [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Many of these properties, such as determination of foam stability or head retention, lacing, bubble size, whiteness, foam density, foam viscosity, foam strength, etc., are well described in a review paper by Bamfort [2].…”

Determination of Foam Stability in Lager Beers Using Digital Image Analysis of Images Obtained Using RGB and 3D Cameras

Foam stability and retention is an important indicator of beer quality and freshness. A full, white head of foam with nicely distributed small bubbles of CO2 is appealing to the consumers and the crown of the production process. However, raw materials, production process, packaging, transportation, and storage have a big impact on foam stability, which marks foam stability monitoring during all these stages, from production to consumer, as very important. Beer foam stability is expressed as a change of foam height over a certain period. This research aimed to monitor the foam stability of lager beers using image analysis methods on two different types of recordings: RGB and depth videos. Sixteen different commercially available lager beers were subjected to analysis. The automated image analysis method based only on the analysis of RGB video images proved to be inapplicable in real conditions due to problems such as reflection of light through glass, autofocus, and beer lacing/clinging, which make it impossible to accurately detect the actual height of the foam. A solution to this problem, representing a unique contribution, was found by introducing the use of a 3D camera in estimating foam stability. According to the results, automated analysis of depth images obtained from a 3D camera proved to be a suitable, objective, repeatable, reliable, and sufficiently sensitive method for measuring foam stability of lager beers. The applied model proved to be suitable for predicting changes in foam retention of lager beers.
