Dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS) is occasionally involved in <strong>the</strong> unpalatable aroma of non-alcoholic (NAB)<br />

and regular beers. Although DMTS is known to cause off-flavors in beers, few reports have described<br />

approaches for controlling DMTS levels in NAB and regular beers. In this study, by using new<br />

approach as controlling copper (Cu) amount, we found that Cu critically affects <strong>the</strong> formation of DMTS<br />

in NAB. In Cu-spiked wort, higher amounts of Cu in <strong>the</strong> whirlpool process led to increased DMTS<br />

levels in <strong>the</strong> finished product. As Cu was eluted in <strong>the</strong> brewing kettle during <strong>the</strong> production of NAB, we<br />

shortened <strong>the</strong> boiling time, increased <strong>the</strong> wort pH, and lowered <strong>the</strong> Cu concentration by more than<br />

90%, which led to marked decreases in DMTS levels by more than 80%. Based on <strong>the</strong>se findings, <strong>the</strong><br />

reduction of Cu was shown to be effective for lowering DMTS levels in NAB. As Cu also likely affects<br />

<strong>the</strong> formation of DMTS in regular beer, we speculate that this approach also can be applied to<br />

alcoholic beers.<br />

The flavour of beer alters upon storage. Due to <strong>the</strong> complexity of both malt and beer production as<br />

well as <strong>the</strong> intricate composition of <strong>the</strong> beer matrix, a multitude of parameters may have an effect on<br />

<strong>the</strong> flavour stability of <strong>the</strong> finished product. Here we compared flavour instability of pilsner beers with a<br />

wide variety of specialty beers. An increase in colour, haze and aldehydes content was observed<br />

independent of <strong>the</strong> beer style. With regard to <strong>the</strong> aldehyde content in <strong>the</strong> fresh and aged beers, great<br />

variations were observed in <strong>the</strong> speciality beers, strongly depending on <strong>the</strong> type and quality of <strong>the</strong> malt<br />

used. Pilsner beers show relatively low aldehyde contents in both fresh and aged beers when<br />

compared to specialty beers. However, despite of <strong>the</strong> low aldehyde contents and somewhat better<br />

bitterness stability, pilsner beers were more prone to stale flavour perception due to much lower<br />

masking effects of fermentation and hop derived flavours.<br />

Characterization of <strong>the</strong> volatile profile of commercial beer is of interest for brewers. It allows to<br />

understand what differentiates <strong>the</strong>ir products from competitor. This can also be used as a tool for<br />

product development w<strong>here</strong> compounds of interest could be measured and with appropriate modeling,<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir concentration enhanced during <strong>the</strong> production phases. Fourteen commercial beers from 3<br />

different breweries (Kronenbourg, Meteor and Heineken) from Alsace were analyzed in duplicate by
