Beer Samples. The beer samples were examined as part of the American Society of Brewing Chemists (ASBC) and Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) collaborative studies of NDMA in beer. Duplicate samples were analyzed by the column extraction procedure and the ASBC distillation procedure (35). The AOAC procedure (36) was similar, except that a larger sample (50 vs. 25 g) was examined and sulfamic acid was added to minimize artifactual formation of nitrosamines. Both methods utilize N-nitrosodipropylamine (NDPA) as an internal standard.

Sensory panels will decide upon the desired term for their team but should arrive at a consensus as to how best to describe the flavor notes (suppliers of standards and sensory training such as FlavorActiv can advise here). The American Society of Brewing Chemists (ASBC) Beer Flavor Wheel provides a tool and the ASBC provides technical material as to standards to use, as do several references listed in Part 2 of this article.
