  • Alcoholic Beverages Manufacturing Projects. Profitable Business Ideas in Alcohol Industry
    www.entrepreneurindia.co Introduction An alcoholic beverage is a drink containing ethanol, commonly known as alcohol. Alcoholic beverages are divided into three general classes-beers, wines, and spirits. Alcoholic beverages are consumed universally. The demand for these beverages has changed in the last few years, considering the on/off premises consumption trends. Drinking alcohol plays an important social role in many cultures. Most countries have laws regulating the production, sale, and consumption of alcoholic beverages. Some countries ban such activities entirely, but alcoholic drinks are legal in most parts of the world. www.entrepreneurindia.co India is one of the fastest growing alcohol markets in the world. Rapid increase in urban population, sizable middle class population with rising spending power, and a sound economy are certain significant reasons behind increase in consumption of alcohol in India. The Indian alcohol market is growing at a CAGR of 8.8% and it is expected to reach 16.8 Billion liters of consumption by the year 2022. The popularity of wine and vodka is increasing at a remarkable CAGR of 21.8% and 22.8% respectively. India is the largest consumer of whiskey in the world and it constitutes about 60% of the IMFL market. www.entrepreneurindia.co India alcoholic beverage industry is one of the biggest alcohol industry across the globe only behind from two major countries such as China and Russia. Growing demand for alcoholic beverages in India is majorly attributed to the huge young population base and growing consumption of alcohol by the young generation as well as rising disposable income is strengthening the industry growth.

  • Microbial and Chemical Analysis of Non-Saccharomyces Yeasts from Chambourcin Hybrid Grapes for Potential Use in Winemaking
    fermentation Article Microbial and Chemical Analysis of Non-Saccharomyces Yeasts from Chambourcin Hybrid Grapes for Potential Use in Winemaking Chun Tang Feng, Xue Du and Josephine Wee * Department of Food Science, The Pennsylvania State University, Rodney A. Erickson Food Science Building, State College, PA 16803, USA; [email protected] (C.T.F.); [email protected] (X.D.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-814-863-2956 Abstract: Native microorganisms present on grapes can influence final wine quality. Chambourcin is the most abundant hybrid grape grown in Pennsylvania and is more resistant to cold temperatures and fungal diseases compared to Vitis vinifera. Here, non-Saccharomyces yeasts were isolated from spontaneously fermenting Chambourcin must from three regional vineyards. Using cultured-based methods and ITS sequencing, Hanseniaspora and Pichia spp. were the most dominant genus out of 29 fungal species identified. Five strains of Hanseniaspora uvarum, H. opuntiae, Pichia kluyveri, P. kudriavzevii, and Aureobasidium pullulans were characterized for the ability to tolerate sulfite and ethanol. Hanseniaspora opuntiae PSWCC64 and P. kudriavzevii PSWCC102 can tolerate 8–10% ethanol and were able to utilize 60–80% sugars during fermentation. Laboratory scale fermentations of candidate strain into sterile Chambourcin juice allowed for analyzing compounds associated with wine flavor. Nine nonvolatile compounds were conserved in inoculated fermentations. In contrast, Hanseniaspora strains PSWCC64 and PSWCC70 were positively correlated with 2-heptanol and ionone associated to fruity and floral odor and P. kudriazevii PSWCC102 was positively correlated with a Citation: Feng, C.T.; Du, X.; Wee, J.

  • Analysis of Fusel Alcohols Using HT3 Headspace Sampling
    APPLICATION NOTE AN094 Analysis of Fusel Alcohols using HT3 Headspace Sampling INTRODUCTION Fusel alcohols are a common by-product of the fermentation process, but abnormal quantities or types can indicate alcoholic beverage adulteration. Method SSD: TM:200 is a direct injection method for testing these alcohols. The method states that Non-Beverage Alcohol (NBA) products, not miscible with water, cannot be analyzed by this method. Additionally, NBA products and distilled spirits with greater than 10% solids must be diluted prior to analysis. The direct injection technique transfers all compounds in the sample into the inlet and could potentially contaminate the inlet liner, requiring frequent changes. To compensate for this contamination, the quality control section of SSD: TM:200 indicates that when the correlation coefficient drops below 0.99, the liner should be changed as a corrective action. In addition to liner contamination, thermally labile compounds such as sugars can break down, leading to interfering peaks that hinder analysis. A static headspace vial sampler will be used to develop a static headspace method to test for fusel oil following the TTB method. By using static headspace, only the volatile component will be transferred to the GC, leaving the non-volatile components that can foul an injection liner in the headspace vial. Figure 1. SCION Instruments HT3 Headspace Sampler Analysis of Fusel Alcohols using SCION HT3 Headspace Sampling EXPERIMENTAL For this study, the HT3 was coupled to a GC/FID system. Helium was used as the GC carrier gas and FID makeup gases, as well as the HT3 pressurization gas. The Method Optimization Mode (M.O.M.) feature of the HT3’s software was utilized to develop the sample temperature study.

  • Amino Mannitol Dehydrogenases on the Azasugar Biosynthetic Pathway
    Send Orders for Reprints to [email protected] 10 Protein & Peptide Letters, 2014, 21, 10-14 Medium-Chain Dehydrogenases with New Specificity: Amino Mannitol Dehydrogenases on the Azasugar Biosynthetic Pathway Yanbin Wu, Jeffrey Arciola, and Nicole Horenstein* Department of Chemistry, University of Florida, Gainesville Florida, 32611-7200, USA Abstract: Azasugar biosynthesis involves a key dehydrogenase that oxidizes 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-mannitol to the 6-oxo compound. The genes encoding homologous NAD-dependent dehydrogenases from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FZB42, B. atrophaeus 1942, and Paenibacillus polymyxa SC2 were codon-optimized and expressed in BL21(DE3) Escherichia coli. Relative to the two Bacillus enzymes, the enzyme from P. polymyxa proved to have superior catalytic properties with a Vmax of 0.095 ± 0.002 mol/min/mg, 59-fold higher than the B. amyloliquefaciens enzyme. The preferred substrate is 2- amino-2-deoxy-D-mannitol, though mannitol is accepted as a poor substrate at 3% of the relative rate. Simple amino alco- hols were also accepted as substrates at lower rates. Sequence alignment suggested D283 was involved in the enzyme’s specificity for aminopolyols. Point mutant D283N lost its amino specificity, accepting mannitol at 45% the rate observed for 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-mannitol. These results provide the first characterization of this class of zinc-dependent medium chain dehydrogenases that utilize aminopolyol substrates.

  • Enhancing the Yields of Phenolic Compounds During Fermentation Using Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Strain 96581
    Food and Nutrition Sciences, 2014, 5, 2063-2070 Published Online November 2014 in SciRes. http://www.scirp.org/journal/fns http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/fns.2014.521218 Enhancing the Yields of Phenolic Compounds during Fermentation Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae Strain 96581 Adam A. Banach, Beng Guat Ooi* Department of Chemistry, Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, TN, USA Email: *[email protected] Received 2 September 2014; revised 28 September 2014; accepted 15 October 2014 Copyright © 2014 by authors and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Phenylethanol, tyrosol, and tryptophol are phenolic compounds or fusel alcohols formed via the Ehrlich pathway by yeast metabolism. These compounds can yield health benefits as well as con- tribute to the flavors and aromas of fermented food and beverages. This research shows that Sac- charomyces cerevisiae Strain 96581 is capable of producing significantly higher levels of these three compounds when the precursor amino acids were supplemented into either the Chardonnay concentrate for wine-making or the malt concentrate for brewing English Ale. Strain 96581 can produce phenylethanol, tyrosol, and tryptophol as high as 434 mg/kg, 365 mg/kg, and 129 mg/kg, respectively, in the beer fermentation. The performance of Ale yeast WLP002 from White Labs Inc. was also analyzed for comparison. Strain 96581 outperformed WLP002 in the control beer, the amino acids supplemented beer, and the kiwi-beer background. This shows that Strain 96581 is more effective than WLP002 in converting the malt and the kiwi fruit supplements via its endo- genous enzymes.

  • The Invicta Whisky Charter from the Distillers of Masthouse Whisky This
    The Invicta Whisky Charter from the distillers of Masthouse Whisky This charter is made by Copper Rivet Distillery, England, distillers of Masthouse Whisky. English Whisky stands on the shoulders of the great whiskies from around the world and, as one of the founding distilleries of this revived tradition in England, we are making a commitment to consumers of our spirit that Masthouse Whisky is, and will always be, produced in accordance with these high standards. We do not believe that a tradition of exacting standards, high quality and innovation and experimentation are mutually exclusive. Our home of Chatham’s historic Royal Dockyard has demonstrated this over centuries, crafting and innovating to build world class ships. And we wish to set out areas where we intentionally leave latitude to create new and (or) nuanced expressions of this noble and beloved craft of whisky making. We believe that consumers have a right to know what they are buying and how what they consume and enjoy is produced made. Our commitment is that, when our whisky is chosen, it will have been made in strict adherence with these exacting standards designed to underpin character, flavour and quality. We don’t presume to lay out standards on behalf other great distilleries in other regions of England – we expect that they may wish to set their own rules and standards which underpin the character of their spirit. This is our charter, for our whisky. Our commitment, our promise, our standards – our charter The spirit must be distilled in England, United Kingdom. The entire process from milling grist, creating wort, fermenting distiller’s beer, distillation and filling casks must happen at the same site.
