Light beer

Since the first report of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) contamination in beer (ij ), there have been a number of surveys on volatile nitrosamine occurrence in beers of different types and origins. The data in Table I includes NDMA analyses on light beers, dark beers, ales, and malt liquors. Table I shows that the...

Oxidation is the process by which the energy in foods is released in the form of heat and work. In this respect, alcohol liberates about 75 calories in each half ounce. Therefore, one standard drink of whiskey has about 75 calories because all the calories in distilled spirits are from alcohol content. However, beverages such as beer provide calories from foods such as proteins and carbohydrates as well as alcohol. A regular 12-ounce, 4%-alcohol beer has about 150 calories, and a comparable amount t>f the commercial light beers has 95-135 calorics. Light beers have fewer calorics primarily because they contain less alcohol. 

The specific properties of many beers and types of beer can be traced back to the available brewing waters in which the residual alkalinity plays an important role. Waters with a low residual alkalinity are suitable for stronger, hopped light beers and waters with a high residual alkalinity are more suitable for dark beers. The treatment of brewing water consists mainly in the removal of carbonates. However, nowadays it is possible to treat any water according to the desired type of beer.

Recently, light beers, of lower calorific content, have become more popular. These require a higher degree of saccharification at lower starch concentrations to reduce the alcohol and total solids contents of the beer. ... 

In contrast to the above studies, a 58-year-old man stabilised on warfarin experienced a sharp rise in his ESTR to 8 when he started to drink half a can of light beer (5.35 g alcohol) every other day. In the previous 5 months he had an INR in the range of 1.9 to 2.5 with a stable warfarin dose, and no other explanation for the change in INR was found. He stopped taking the alcohol, and was eventually restabilised on the original dose of warfarin. ...

In the manufacture of shandy in Britain, it is common to produce a light beer using amyloglucosidase and to dilute the beer with lemonade or ginger ale to give a final ethanol content of just below 0 5 %v/v. From the point of view of trades description, this is considered non-alcoholic and not subject to excise duty. 

Other health requirements are associated with carbohydrates and their reduced content in beer, which led to products such as low-carb or light beers. These products are designated for people who are on a slimming or other diet or for diabetics (Burberg Zamkow, 2009). Production of beer with a low content of carbohydrates requires... 

The unique character of different kinds of beer (Pilsen, Dortmund, Munich, Burton-on-Trent), without doubt, can historically be ascribed to the brewing water used in those places, with residual alkalinity playing the major role. Water, low in soluble bicarbonates of calcium, magnesium, sodium or potassium, and soluble carbonates and hydroxides, is suitable for strongly-hopped light beers, such as Pilsener, while alkaline water is suitable for dark beers, such as those from Munich. 

Pale ale is strongly hopped light beer, whereas mild ale is mildly hopped dark beer. Incorporation of ginger root essence into these beers yields ginger-flavored ale. 

There is a wide array of beers in the market. The most important are lagers or pilsners, light, dark, and alcohol-free, produced from barley uialt aud adjuncts (Table 14.3). Light beers are less viscous or have lower density (d< I g/cm ) and contain fewer calories compared to regular beers (Table 14.6). These beers are practically carbohydrate free and have less body or viscosity because dextrins are converted during...
