A TCATA by modality approach to study the multisensory temporal profile of hop bitter and flavour products applied in lager (2021)
Journal Article
Dietz, C., Cook, D., Yang, Q., Wilson, C., & Ford, R. (2022). A TCATA by modality approach to study the multisensory temporal profile of hop bitter and flavour products applied in lager. Food Quality and Preference, 97, Article 104470. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodqual.2021.104470

Previous research suggested that iso-alpha-acids and hulupones add different bitterness profiles to beer and hop-derived volatiles modify temporal dimensions of bitterness qualities via cross-modal interactions. This research aimed to understand the... Read More about A TCATA by modality approach to study the multisensory temporal profile of hop bitter and flavour products applied in lager.

This paper reports the effects of dry-hopping at 4 and 19 °C for a low alpha versus high alpha hop variety on the resulting profiles of non-volatile hop acids (humulinones, iso-a-acids, a-acids). In a dry-hopping study conducted over 2 weeks, we foun... Read More about Dry-hopping: the effects of temperature and hop variety on the bittering profiles and properties of resultant beers.
