Abstract

Rapid and quantitative detection of hop resistance and beer spoilage capability in beer spoilage bacteria can effectively guide the beer manufacture of breweries.In this study,a new culture-dependent rapid test method based on hop tetrahydro-iso-α-acid-gradient medium plate was constructed.23 beer spoilage bacteria strains were used to test the accuracy of method.The minimum inhibitory concentrations of tetrahydro-iso-α-acid,a compound of hop bitter acid,were rapidly detected by the method.The growth capabilities in MRS broth contained tetrahydro-iso-α-acid and 12°P beer broth were compared.These results indicate that the method based on hop tetrahydro-iso-α-acidgradient plate quite rapid and simple to quantitatively assay hop resistance of beer spoilage bacteria,meantime,evaluate the beer spoilage capability.
