☕ Hiperbaric has published a new whitepaper on the effects of High Pressure Processing (HPP) on cold brew coffee.  #HPP achieved a greater than 6-log pathogen reduction below detection limits, with no regrowth detected throughout the 90-day refrigerated storage - proving HPP an effective kill step for enhancing safety of ready-to-drink cold brew coffee. Highlighted in whitepaper:  🔬 Physicochemical Quality 🔬 Microbiology Effects 🔬 Sensorial Properties 🔬 Shelf-life Extension Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dxj-udMi #coldbrew #coldbrewcoffee 

This presentation covers the analysis of beer hop fragrance using low energy electron ionization (EI) to identify low level polyfunctional thiols. Thiols are normally perceived as an off odor or undesirable characteristic, but in the right concentration positive perceived aroma can be achieved. Several beer hops were analyzed in two different forms: whole cone and pellets, to correlate any difference of the volatile compounds if the processing of the hop can change the composition. The ability to ionize and detect these low-level compounds, and the increased degrees of confirmation, can provide higher confidence in these identifications. The low energy EI, high resolving power, and data analysis tools used provided high confidence in finding and identifying the compounds. Read more : https://lnkd.in/dsww2wuW

🌿 Exciting News in Food Science! 🍊 We've conducted δ18O analyses on various fruit juice samples using iso FLOW technology. This stable isotope analysis method is proving to be incredibly effective in determining whether juices have been reconstituted from concentrate using local water or in verifying their claimed points of origin. This advancement is a significant step forward in ensuring the authenticity and quality of fruit juices we consume. Check out this date bulletin to know more. https://lnkd.in/dWz9fr7a #FoodScience #StableIsotopeAnalysis #FoodAuthenticity #isoprimeprecisION #elementarIndia

I am happy to share a newly published article in Journal of Food Composition and Analysis. We explore the presence of tiny particles in coffee brews that we don't fully understand yet. Our study looks at how small carbon nanodots form in coffee when it's brewed in different ways. You can read the article here: https://lnkd.in/dxTEa7ia

Consumer Reports has tested a variety of chocolate products and found that one-third of them contain high levels of #HeavyMetals like lead and cadmium. > The advocacy group analysed 48 US products in seven categories - including cocoa powder, hot chocolate, chocolate bars and cake mixes. > It measured heavy metal content against California’s stringent levels because there are no federal limits for how much lead and cadmium most foods can contain. > “Sixteen of the 48 products had amounts above CR’s levels of concern for at least one of the heavy metals,” said Consumer Reports’ acting head of product safety testing, James E. Rogers. 💡 LGC AXIO Proficiency Testing offers a PT sample (PT-CT-719) with other elemental analytes such as iron, chromium, lead and calcium to be added in 2024 🔗https://okt.to/Kby48s 🔬 LGC Industrial meanwhile offers more than 1,000 high-quality #ReferenceMaterials to aid your detection of #TraceElements 🔗https://okt.to/fHTwkL.

Fenton reaction chemistry and your spirit-in-wood, or spirit-in-contact with wood (and oxygen) maturation. And it might start with the seasoning of the wood ready for barrel production! So many Rapid Maturation systems out there - some since 1896 - yes 1896 NOT 1986 there! Yet few understand tyhe oxygen levels needed, the pH of the system and other conditions needed for this important maturation reaction to work. Not in the dark barrel for your process? You need to know about Photo-Fenton reactions and the pH of your system. And more insights now into why naturally seasoned rather than kiln drying/"seasoning" of wood is far better. Recent papers and some older ones are leading the way - beyond the wine-in-barrel work. Time to promote more work and a deeper dive into spirit-in-wood research. More to come but for now start here: https://lnkd.in/eyrWg8m6
