Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of green tea extracts (GTE) on the fermentation properties of polyphenol-enriched beers. As such, the formation patterns of tannoid in beer with GTE were investigated at 3 different infusion times, while the ale and the lager beers fortified with GTE were analyze to ascertain effects on gravity, pH, yeast viability, total polyphenol, and tannoid during fermentation period. The results were as follows: 1) The formation of tannoid in beer with GTE in the tannometer; In reaction of GTE with polyvinylpyrrolidon (PVP), control lager beer peaked in the formation of tannoid at $70\;{\sim}\;80\;mg$ of PVP, the 1st extract exceeded the detection limit, the 2nd extract at $170\;{\sim}\;180\;mg$, while the third extract at $150\;{\sim}\;160\;mg$ of PVP. The GTE were slow in reacting with PVP, and their formation patterns were different from those of polyphenols from barley and hop. 2) Ale fermentation; The final alcohol content was 9.25% (ABV). The addition of GTE increased the yeast viability after 2 days and finally reached 52.3% from 30.9%. Total polyphenol in GTE beer increased by 1.5 times (p < .05). However, its tannoid contents increased by 6.4 times. 3) Lager fermentation; The final alcohol content was 5.93% (ABV). The effect of GTE on lager beer was minimal for all variables. However, total polyphenol of GTE beer increased by 1.4 times (p < .05). Its tannoid increased by 3.3 times (p < .05).
