Several methods for quantifying the purine content in food and drink have been described using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). We have developed an improved HPLC method that is based on a method reported by Kaneko et al. and that is more sensitive yet simple, and suitable for determining the purine content of beer and beer-like alcoholic beverages. Quantitative HPLC separation wa...

Changes in hop-derived compounds of beer were evaluated over 10 months storage at 3 and 20°C, revealing significant changes the beers stored warm. Beer pH colour increased, together with ‘hop creep’ through unpasteurised dry-hopped beers. Hop bitter acids decreased moderately during 20°C but not 3°C hop aroma - key contributors to dry-hop flavour significantly depleted upon warm storage. Cold r...

The role of alcohol on fertility remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between alcohol and specific alcoholic beverages consumption and the risk of difficulty getting pregnant. We used a case-control study nested within the Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra (SUN) cohort, a prospective, dynamic and multipurpose cohort of 21,705 Spanish university graduates, followed bienniall...
