The fresh flavor of a beer brand is one of its most important quality parameters and should be retained as long as possible through shelf-life. Early stages of beer production can have significant impacts on beer flavor stability. The use of cereal a...

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.
