Wine-like beverage

Whey can be fortified with sucrose and fermented with yeast to yield an alcoholic whey. Upon freeze concentration, a whey liquor with 10 to 69% alcohol can be obtained. Alcohol fermentation carried out in whey supplemented with brown sugar yields a whey cordial (Baldwin 1868). Wine-like beverages have been made from whey, but they do not appear to be competitive with wines made from grape juice. 

Other wine-like products are palm wine and agave wine (pulke), maple and tamarind wines as well as rice wine (sake), a sherry-like beverage which is consumed mainly warm. 

An)nvay, the principal use of artificial tongues is within the food sciences. The applications concern almost exclusively liquid food mainly wine (about 18% of the studies examined), fruit juices (almost 15%), mineral water (about 13%), followed by infusions like tea and coffee, soft drinks, milk, beer, and other alcoholic beverages. All these liquid foods are characterized by both low-viscosity and high-polarity values. 

The biosynthesis of fatty acids produced during alcoholic fermentation is initiated in the yeast cell by the formation of acetylcoenzyme A, which reacts with malonylcoenzyme A to form mainly saturated straight-chained fatty acids with an even number of four to 18 carbon atoms the appearance of relatively low levels of fatty acids with odd numbers of carbon atoms as well as unsaturated fatty acids depends on the fermentation conditions [6]. The volatile fatty acids contribute to the flavour of fermented beverages like wine or beer and their concentration usually lies between 100 and 250 mg 0.1 L p.e. In distilled spirits the concentration of free fatty acids is significantly lower owing to the esterification... 

PROCARBAZINE ALCOHOL May cause a disulfiram-like reaction, additive depression of the CNS and postural hypotension Some alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, ale) contain tyramine, which may induce hypertensive reactions Avoid co-administration... 

Further high quality wines are traditionally matured in oak cashs for several months. Maturation reactions are complex and like in spirit beverages, dissolution of wood components is of prime importance (8-9-10). Extracted wood components have secondary effect other than their direct flavor contribution. They appear to be necessary for correct maturation of the beverage. The effect of wood components on the maturation of beverages was clearly investigate in distilled alcoholic beverages only. The addition of oak extract to a model spirit solution reduced the extractability of ethyl esters with chain lengths of 10-20 carbons by the dichloromethane (9-10). The increase in solubility reflects a reduction in the activity of the ester in the aqueous ethanol solution, relative to the dichloromethane and indictes that an interaction between components of the wood extract and esters takes place. 

Fermentation has been known and commercially exploited for centuries. Products like spirit, liquor, wine, beer, and other alcoholic beverages vinegar cheese and yogurt miso, soy sauce, and fermented bean curd ham and sausage fish sauce cured vanilla beans, tea, and cocoa pickles and sauerkraut dough, bread, and other bakery products have special flavor notes that can also be used as seasonings. 

The subject of alcoholic beverages is fairly well covered in texts. A comprehensive work is that of Herstein and Jacobs, Chemistry and Technology of Wines and Liquors. A recent book is that of Valaer, Wines of the World. There is the well-known book by Cruess, Principles and Practice of Wine Making. Considerable information is issued by the Wine Advisory Board and the Wine Institute with headquarters in California. Several firms issue journals and information relating to yeast, enzymes, hops, and the like, of interest to the fermentation industries—e.g.. Waller stein Laboratories Communications and Yeast (Anheuser-Busch). This industry is well supplied with trade journals. 

These chemical reactions and tests for caramel are complemented by a group of physical methods based on size-exclusion chromatography. These methods may be applied for the detection of caramel in beverages, beer, and wine. Caramel may be detected in bread and in various slightly colored products from the sugar industry (raw sugar, molasses, sugar syrups, and the like). Spectral methods are most useful for these purposes.
