Nitrogen and polyphenol concentration ratios: SuntoryRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent wort composition leads to flavor variability and high processing costs. Precise control of nitrogenous compounds and extract density ensures batch-to-batch sensory uniformity.

What technical problems is Suntory addressing in Nitrogen and polyphenol concentration ratios?

Unpleasant beer flavor profiles

(51)evidences

Inconsistent chemical ratios lead to undesirable bitterness or off-flavors in non-traditional brews. Stabilizing these ratios prevents sensory degradation and ensures consumer acceptance.

Unstable flavor profile degradation

(9)evidences

Chemical imbalances between nitrogenous compounds and polyphenols lead to flavor deterioration and inconsistent sensory quality in processed drinks. Stabilizing these ratios prevents off-flavor development and ensures product shelf-life consistency.

Unbalanced flavor profile

(7)evidences

Absence of ethanol disrupts the sensory equilibrium between nitrogenous compounds and polyphenols. Correcting this ratio prevents thin mouthfeel and excessive astringency in non-alcoholic formulations.

Unpleasant flavor profile instability

(7)evidences

Inconsistent flavor profiles and lingering harsh bitterness in non-alcoholic or malt-based beverages. Eliminating these sensory defects improves consumer acceptance and product drinkability.
