Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Beer is one of the oldest known beverages and is currently the most widely consumed alcoholic beverage in the world. In recent years, the demand for beers with distinctive characteristics and consumers' growing concern for their health has led to the production of a wide variety of beers of high organoleptic and nutritional quality. In this regard, this special issue of Foods focuses on the use of new ingredients and improvements in the production process to produce higher quality beers.
Of particular interest is the use of any ingredient or adjunct that can improve a physico-chemical, nutritional or organoleptic property. In addition, given the growing interest in the circular economy and the reuse of waste, any by-product of the agri-food industry that can be used in the production of craft beer will also be of interest. Original research and review articles are welcome.
We invite you to contribute articles addressing the above topics to this Special Issue on New Research in Brewing: Ingredients, Brewing and Quality Improvement.
We believe that your contributions can be of great interest and make a significant difference in the production of high quality specialty beers, which are increasingly in demand by consumers.
Prof. Dr. Isabel Caballero
Guest Editor
