"Breaking Barrels: Groundbreaking Study Shatters Beer Myths"

A new study challenges previous assumptions about linalool, a key component influencing beer's aroma. The research reveals that the difference in odor threshold between linalool's enantiomers is significantly less than previously thought, providing new insights into the development of beer's aroma during the brewing process and storage. The study also confirms the higher odor potency of (R)-linalool but refutes the assumption that the odor threshold concentrations of the two enantiomers differ greatly. The findings contribute to a better understanding of changes in beer bouquets and aroma during brewing and aging.
