in this study, the effect of several species of fermenting yeast and fermentation conditions (periodic aeration and temperature) on quality parameters of non-alcoholic beer is assessed. yeast starters with different inoculation percent were added separately into wort with determined gravity. wort was fermented for 48 h in different temperatures under aerobic condition or periodic aeration (ever...

AIMS Rats avidly consume non-alcoholic beer, and addition of alcohol to non-alcoholic beer may function as a medium to induce intake of large amounts of alcohol in rats. The present study investigated whether Sardinian alcohol-preferring (sP) and Sardinian non-preferring (sNP) rats, initially exposed to non-alcoholic beer, and subsequently to non-alcoholic beer containing increasing concentrati...

In this article we provide an overview of the newest data concerning the effect of non-alcoholic constituents of alcoholic beverages, especially of beer, on pancreatic secretion, and their possible role in alcoholic pancreatitis and pancreatic carcinoma. The data indicate that non-alcoholic constituents of beer stimulate pancreatic enzyme secretion in humans and rats, at least in part, by direc...

PURPOSE The effects of moderate beer consumption after physical activity on rehydration and fluid balance are not completely clear. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effect of beer consumption, with varying alcohol content, on fluid balance after exercise-induced dehydration. METHODS Eleven healthy males were included in this cross over study (age 24.5 ± 4.7 years, body weight 75....

Fluid and electrolyte status have a significant impact on physical performance and health. Pre-exercise recommendations cite the possibility of consuming beverages with high amounts of sodium. In this sense, non-alcoholic beer can be considered an effective pre-exercise hydration beverage. This double-blind, randomized study aimed to compare the effect of beer, non-alcoholic beer and water cons...

Extinction promotes abstinence from drug seeking. Extinction expression is an active process, dependent on infralimbic prefrontal cortex (ilPFC). However, the neurocircuitry mediating extinction expression is unknown. Here we studied the neural mechanisms for expression of extinction of alcoholic beer seeking in rats. We first examined the pattern of activation in prefrontal cortex projections ...

The predominant types of commercially produced alcoholic beverages are beer, wine and spirits. Basic ingredients for beer are malted barley, water, hops and yeast. Wheat may be used. Nearly all wine is produced from grapes, although wine can be also made from other fruits and berries. Spirits are frequently produced from cereals (e.g. corn, wheat), beet or molasses, grapes or other fruits, cane...

this study aims to determine the effect of fermentation condition and saccharomyces strains on the ph, foam property and co2 concentration of non-alcoholic beer (ma-al-shaeer). for this, the beer samples were inoculated with four different species of saccharomyces (saccharomyces rouxii 70531, s. rouxii 70535, s. ludwigii 3447 and s. cerevisiae 70424) and fermented for 48h in both aerobic and pe...

BACKGROUND During lactation, the consumption of ethanol is discussed controversially. After women drink alcoholic beverages, ethanol can be found in breastmilk with a time lag. To abstain from ethanol, but not from the taste of alcoholic beverages, in particular, non-alcoholic beer has become popular in recent years. According to regulations in the United States and most European countries, the...

The effects of three different types of alcoholic beverages (beer, wine and gin) on the absorption of chloroquine in the stomach and intestine of rats were determined. The in situ loop method and in situ re-circulation technique were used to determine the absorption of chloroquine [CQ] in the stomach and intestine respectively. 52.50% of CQ was absorbed from the stomach in the absence of alcoho...
