Abstract
In recent years, there has been a significant decline in interest in high-alcohol beers, while interest in low- and non-alcohol beers is growing. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the addition of coriander seeds at various stages of the production of low-alcohol wheat beer (mashing, boiling, and fermentation). The presented article uses biological methods to produce low-alcohol beer. For this purpose, first, the mashing process was modified (breaking 44 °C for 20 min, followed by 75 °C for 60 min). The chemical composition and aroma components of the obtained beers were determined using various chromatographic methods (HPLC, GC-MS, and GC-O). Differences were found between the aroma components depending on the stage of production at which the coriander seeds were added. Beers with the addition of coriander seeds at the fermentation stage had the highest terpene content (linalool, camphor, trans-linalool oxide, and γ-terpinene) and boiling (myrcene, limonene, citronellol, and geraniol). The least desirable process is the addition of coriander seeds at the mashing stage due to the lowest content of volatile compounds. Additionally, beers with the addition of coriander seeds for fermentation were characterized by a higher content of antioxidant compounds. This proves that the addition of coriander seeds during beer production could improve the fermentation process and modify the quality of the obtaining beer.
