The effect of different cooking methods on the concentration of mercury was studied using locally sourced Chinook salmon. The mercury content in salmon was measured before and after baking or broiling the salmon by spectrophotometry at 253.65 nanometers using a DMA-80 mercury analyzer…
This report focuses on the quantification and analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography of α-acids present in hops, the main bittering ingredient in beer. The methods included mobile phase, standard, and sample preparation…
Alpha and iso-alpha acids were quantified to monitor concentrations throughout the wort boiling step in producing an IPA beer at a local microbrewery. The isomerization of alpha acids to iso-alpha acids during wort boiling contributes to the bitter taste in the final product…
