Abstract

Beer is a fermented beverage and a source of phenolic compounds and flavonoids, with recognized  antioxidant function. The objective of this work was to determine the total content of these compounds  and the antioxidant potential within the different stages of craft beer production. The analyzes were  performed by the spectrophotometric method, analyzing: two types of barley malt (all grain and dry malt  extract), different hops extraction techniques, two strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (US05 -neutral  and WB06-phenolic) and three gravities specific to each wort 1.03 g / mL, 1.06 g / mL and 1.09 g / mL.  Dry malt extract showed higher levels of flavonoids and total phenolics when compared to the all grain,  with no significant difference in antioxidant potential. Hop extracts obtained by cooking for 10 and 60  minutes showed the highest levels of flavonoids, phenolics and antioxidant potential. In general, the  fermented product of phenolic yeast showed higher levels of flavonoids, when in low and medium gravity  wort. However, neutral yeast in medium gravity wort generated higher levels of phenolic compounds. In  addition to the raw material used, the variables involved in mashing, hopping and fermentation significantly affect the levels of bioactive compounds and antioxidant potential in beer.
