AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Beer-tasting drinks with low malt content struggle to achieve a balance between richness and flavor, as the concentration of proline is often too low and 3-methyl-2-butene-1-thiol can impart an off-flavor when present in high amounts.

Method used

A beer-tasting beverage is formulated with a concentration of 3-methyl-2-butene-1-thiol at 2.0 ng/l or more and a concentration of 2-acetyltetrahydropyridine compounds, such as 2-acetyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridine, at 5.0 μg/l or more, along with proline, to enhance richness and balance flavor.

Benefits of technology

The formulation achieves a beer-tasting beverage with excellent flavor balance, enhanced richness, and low malt content, effectively addressing the limitations of existing low-malt beer-tasting drinks.
