“…Current practice by Belgian and foreign breweries is to transport and store beer under uncooled conditions and therefore temperature is a major contributor to the flavor instability of (exported) beer. During transport, container temperature can rise up to 55 °C under influence of direct sunlight with only the beer packaging being able to delay but not prohibit the beer from heating up . In the current vibration experiment, the temperatures selected were 5 °C (i.e.…”

BACKGROUND: Beer flavor stability is important to brewers as a result of the increased global demand for beer. Increasing export leads to prolonged periods of transportation and storage and causes fresh flavor deterioration. Therefore, the present study examined the effect of different temperatures in combination with vibrations on beer quality. Beer was exposed to vibrations (50 Hz, 15 m s −2 , simulating transport) at 5, 30 and 45 ∘ C for 22, 38 and 90 h and (for half the samples) aged for 60 days at 30 ∘ C. RESULTS: The results obtained indicated decreased oxygen concentrations as a result of an elevated temperature and vibrations.There was no effect (P > 0.05) on color and a limited effect of temperature and vibrations on iso--acids. The parameters temperature and vibrations have a significant influence (P < 0.05) on aldehyde concentrations, namely total aldehydes, and especially '2-methylpropanal', '2-methylbutanal' and 'furfural'. CONCLUSION: The impact of vibrations on the aldehydes concentrations was substantial when subjected to an elevated temperature. Furthermore, a forced aging test of shorter duration than traditional methods might be developed.

“…In 2014, Janssen et al, (34) reported an increase in turbidity caused by shaking and vibrations during beer transport. However, apart from the studies of Paternoster et al, (32,33) and Janssen et al, (34), there are no further reports on the role of vibration with regard to beer quality.…”

Breweries are exporting their brands overseas, resulting in an increasingly competitive and globalised beer market. Inevitably, the beer experiences varying and prolonged periods of transport and storage prior to consumption. During this process, the flavour of fresh beer deteriorates, leading to the presence of stale flavours and a decrease in the drinkability of the beer. Results reported here show that an increased temperature during beer transport and storage causes significant flavour deterioration, as determined analytically (increase in aldehydes, beer colour and haze formation, decrease in iso-α-acids concentration) and sensorially (increase in overall aging score). Further, laboratory experiments show that the vibration of beer results in a rapid decrease of oxygen. Moreover, inappropriate storage temperature has a negative effect on beer quality and stability, in particular when combined with vibration.For the same beer (X, Y or Z) different letters in superscript represent a significant difference (α = 0.05); SD: standard deviation; n = 3.

“…One way bottles are used once, and so differ from home sale bottles, which are recovered and reused . Owing to the insulating properties of the cardboard secondary packaging, bottled beer is protected against extreme temperature variations . Therefore, two scenarios were tested: (1) exposure to the average monthly temperature (corresponding to beer that experiences no temperature variations) and (2) exposure to the average maximum and minimum daily temperatures (corresponding to beer that experiences extreme temperature variations).…”

A model to simulate the overall ageing score impact of temperature and time on the sensorial quality of lager

et al. 2019

Overall ageing scores (OAS) are used by expert beer tasters to distinguish between the different aromas and tastes, in order to assess the sensorial quality and flavour stability of beer. Flavour instability is an important issue to brewers owing to the increased global demand for beer and the difficulties of controlling beer quality in remote locations when exported. In this paper, the idea was developed and a model constructed that is able to estimate the OAS as a function of temperature and time. The study highlights not only the exponential impact of temperature on lager quality, but also the importance of the time of exposure (nonlinear effect). Further, a hypothetical case study was performed in which the OAS was determined of a lager exposed to the temperature conditions in an important Belgian beer import market. The results indicate that in cities with a mild climate (e.g. UK and Germany), lager beer will suffer quality degradation to a limited extent. Temperature in warm climate cities (e.g. Italy and China) will significantly reduce the shelf‐life of lager beer in a short time frame, stressing the importance of flavour quality and stability. The model can be used in both industry and research when developing commercial decisions. © 2019 The Institute of Brewing & Distilling
