This on-demand webinar comprises two presentations looking firstly at sample preparation tools for chromatographic testing of beer followed by flavor chemistry and sensory properties of non-alcoholic beer.
Duration: Approximately 1 hour
The two presentations include:
Sample Preparation Tools for Chromatographic Testing of Beer
Here Klaus Buckendahl covers efficient sample preparation and determination for pesticides, as well as solid phase microextraction (SPME)-GC for automated raw material profiling, process control, and QC in beer.
View this presentation to:
- Hear insights on pesticide analysis in hops by QuEChERS with improved recovery for planar pesticides
- Learn how SPME can be utilized as an efficient tool for the profiling of flavor compound such as terpenes, aldehydes and other compounds in beer.
Drink and Drive – Flavor Chemistry and Sensory Properties of Non-alcoholic Beer
In this presentation Nils Rettberg gives a brief overview on NAB production techniques and highlights how these affect the volatile and non-volatile NAB chemistry. Analytical assays to characterize contributors to NAB flavor are described.
