    How One of The World’s Oldest Food Safety Standards Approaches Expiration – The Case of German Beer 1 Philipp Eble * Henk J. de Vries * ** * Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University [email protected] [email protected] ** Delft Univeristy of Technology, Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management [email protected] Abstract The paper at hand contemplates the effect of a centuries-old national food safety standard on innovation in a globalizing market. To that end, the case of the German Beer Industry is analysed to explicate the relationship between a longstanding beer purity decree and brewing innovation. Over 500 years of existence the so-called “Reinheitsgebot”, now laid down in federal German law, has served to restrict variety and safeguard the quality of locally-produced beers. In turn, the standard prominently shaped the national image as well as consumer preferences across all regions in Germany. This research however demonstrates how this has overwhelmingly brought about adverse consequences for the international relevance of German beer in an increasingly globalised economy, which favours diversity in tastes. Due to changing consumption trends and the constricted innovative ability of German brewers, the findings inform government’s responsibility in standardisation for traditional consumer goods industries at a time of urgent need for action. Introduction Beer is widely celebrated for its association with culinary distinctiveness, traditional values and quality (Meussdoerffer 2009). As the most popular drink in the world, behind tea and water, the history of beer brewing dates back several thousands of years, from as early as the Neolithic period to the ancient civilisations of Egypt and Mesopotamia (Nelson 2005).

Between 1880 and 1920, these groups gained public interest in their own way. The liquor interests defended their industries against politicians, religious leaders, and social reformers, but ultimately failed. While current historical scholarship links the different liquor industries together, the beer industry constantly worked to distinguish itself from other alcoholic beverages.

  • Lipid-Protein Interactions in Beer and Beer Foam Brewed with Wheat
    Lipid-Protein Interactions in Beer and Beer Foam Brewed with Wheat Flour1 Keith S. Morris, Pall Europe Ltd., Europa House, Havant Street, Portsmouth, POl 3PD England, and James S. Hough, British School of Malting and Brewing, Birmingham University, P.O. Box 363, Birmingham B15 2TT England ABSTRACT under an atmosphere of nitrogen gas there is a significant increase in the extractable bound lipid fraction, which has been shown to be Use of wheat flour as a brewing adjunct has been shown to enhance beer mainly caused by the nonselective binding of triglycerides by foam stability, as measured by the Rudin method, and also to give gluten proteins (1). Subsequent work by Frazier et al (2) involved protection against the adverse effects of added triolein on foam stability. The efficiency of this protective action is dependent on the contact time using radiolabeled triolein to follow the fate of triglycerides during between the lipid and the beer and is specific to triolein. The addition of dough development under nitrogen. A significant proportion of palmitic acid showed different effects on the foam stability of beer brewed the lipid was found to be stably bound to a protein derived from the using wheat flour. This effect was postulated to be caused by the specific acetic acid-soluble fraction of dough. The protein, named ligolin, binding of triolein to proteins derived from wheat flour. Interaction has a molecular weight of approximately 9,000-11,000 daltons and between triolein and beer proteins was identified by precipitation of is speculated to be of fundamental importance in the formation of radiolabeled lipid with trichloroacetic acid.
