Beer is the most popular alcoholic beverage in the world. Yet, behind each glass of beer there is an enormous amount of work invested. If the first image that comes to your mind is the lifting of heavy bags of malt or carrying kegs, guess again! Most of the work involved in brewing is carried out by “microworkers” – yeast and their enzymes! These special helpers are responsible for catalyzing the vast majority of the biochemical reactions occurring in all steps that gradually transform the sugary wort into beer. This book not only provides readers with an overview of the whole biochemical process involved in beer fermentation, but also reviews the latest findings in this delightful field, making it essential reading for both scientists and brewing enthusiasts

Barley and Malt: Biology, Biochemistry, Technology focuses on the properties, characteristics, production, and malting of barley. The selection first discusses the botany of the barley plant and the science of malting barley production, including description of the barley plant, malting quality, and conditions influencing the yield and quality of malting barley. The text also takes a look at the breeding and identification of barley varieties. The publication elaborates on the diseases of barley and their control and evaluation of malting barley. Discussions focus on the diseases affecting yield of grain, kernel size and composition, nematodes and insects that damage barley, and evaluation of barley varieties. The book also examines malting technology, nature of malting process, and the structural chemistry of barley and malt. Topics include treatment of barley before malting, germination, changes in the endosperm, polyphenols and phenolic acids, and starch. The selection is a dependable reference for readers interested in the production and malting of barley.

Sorghum Biochemistry: An Industrial Perspective explores the many uses for sorghum in industry and biofuels. Not only does it offer a detailed understanding of the physical and biochemical qualities of the grain, it also takes an in-depth look at the role sorghum plays in such industries as brewing and ethanol production and the mechanics of post-harvest processing and value addition. Sorghum has long been an important staple in Africa and Asia, but its value goes far beyond its uses in human and animal consumption. Sorghum is also used in many industries, including waxes, packing material, wall board, ethanol, beverages, and brewing, and one variety called sweet sorghum has also been used as a bioenergy crop. Sorghum Biochemistry: An Industrial Perspective offers a closer look at how the grain is used in such a variety of ways, and how we can continue to optimize its potential. - Provides detailed biochemical studies on grain sorghum to inform researchers grappling with similar issues - Offers foundational information on the quality and composition of sorghum as a grain - Covers a variety of uses for sorghum in many industries, including food and beverage, energy, and brewing - Includes photos and illustrations to enhance the understanding of processes and sorghum biochemistry

Brewing is designed for those involved in the malting, brewing, and allied industries who have little or no formal training in brewing science. While some elementary knowledge of chemistry and biology is necessary, the book clearly presents the essentials of brewing science and its relationship to brewing technology. Brewing focuses on the principles and practices most central to an understanding of the brewing process, including preparation of malt, hops, and yeast; the fermentation process; microbiology and contaminants; and finishing, packaging, and flavor. The second edition gives more emphasis to engineering and technological aspects, with the three new chapters on water, engineering and analysis. Brewing, Second Edition, is both a basic text for traditional college, short, and extension courses in brewing science, and a basic reference for anyone in the brewing industry.
