Beer composition analysis: abundance evolution and characterization of beer flavor active compounds by GC-MS and determination of its ethanol concentration using MIR spectroscopy.

Abstract

[EN] In this project the flavor and ethanol composition of a craft Pilsen beer provided by a micro-brewery called Boga will be analyzed. The first aim of this study is to identify the flavor active compounds found in such beer and study their respective abundance evolution throughout fermentation using the GC-MS technique. The second aim is to determine its ethanol concentration through MIR spectrometry.
