Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the evolution of the food and beverage sector, alcoholic beverages, mainly wine and beer, provide higher levels of consumer satisfaction because of their extraordinary mix of history, culture, wellbeing, rural and economic impacts. Nevertheless, after thousands of years, consumers and entrepreneurial opportunities are pushing research to higher levels of quality, and there is a need for novel scientific information to maintain the entire food chain controlled, from raw materials to consumption, passing through processing and shelf life.

Fermentation is the core processing step, whereby the chemical and physical features of wine and beer interact with the complex metabolism of relevant microorganisms. Therefore, further scientific information on the management and results of wine and beer fermentation are welcomed in this Special Issue. The microbial management of low-alcohol or no-alcohol wines and beers is also a welcomed topic.

This paper evaluates the effects of an alternative hopping technique, called dip hopping, on beer. This technique involves infusing hops in hot water (or in a portion of wort) and subsequently combining the infusion with the wort (after wort cooling) directly in the fermenter when the yeast is added for fermentation. The reference beers were produced employing the “traditional” late hopping technique, and the experimental beers were produced using the dip hopping technique. A variety of hops with a significant concentration of essential oil and a strain of yeast with high β-glucosidic activity capable of releasing aromatic molecules from precursors supplied by hops were used. The samples were analysed in terms of alcohol content, degree of attenuation, colour, and bitterness. Sensory analysis and gas chromatography analysis were also performed. The data showed statistically significant differences between the reference beers and the experimental beers, with the latter featuring greater hints of citrus, fruity, floral, and spicy aromas. As an overall effect, there was an increase in the olfactory and gustatory pleasantness of the beers produced with the dip hopping technique. Full article
