"Breaking Barrels: Groundbreaking Study Shatters Beer Myths"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by SciTechDaily

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.

"Long-held Belief About Beer Aroma Debunked"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Phys.org

A new study led by the Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology has disproven a 20-year-old assumption about the influence of linalool, an important hop odorant, on beer aroma. The study found that the difference in odor threshold concentrations between the two molecular variants of linalool, (R)- and (S)-linalool, is only about eight to tenfold, refuting the previous assumption of an extreme difference. The research provides a better understanding of changes in beer bouquet during the brewing process and aging.
