Abstract: | Recently, a renewal interest has been focused on beer, a common beverage rich in polyphenols with a moderate antioxidant activity coupled with a low ethanol content. Mild to moderate beer consumption is associated with potential for prevention of cardiovascular and carcinogenesis diseases. This is attributed to the presence of beer polyphenols1. The beer contains a complex mixture of polyphenols, the greater part of which comes from the malt, the remaining portion from the hops. Many of the existing papers in this subject area prove undoubtedly that phenolic acids among all classes of polyphenols in foodstuffs (including barley and beer), are the most easily absorbed from the intestinal tract. The distribution of phenolic acids in foods and raw materials is wide, and the concentrations are considerable. For example, ferulic acid, the main phenolic acid in barley and beer, is present in the esterified form, but an esterase activity of bacterial organ is present in the human gastrointestinal tract. Various chromatographic techniques have been used for the determination of polyphenols, including paper chromatography (PC), thin layer chromatography (TLC), capillary electrophoresis (CE), nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, gas chromatography (GC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with electrochemical, HPLC/MS, UV spectrophotometric, or fluorimetric detection. Several researchers have studied phenolic acids in wort and beer by using HPLC coupled with ultraviolet, diode array, coulometric array or fluorimetric detection1 ?3,8,9,19?23. However, the number of reports on the composition of and the analytical procedures for determining phenolic acids in beer are limited. The aim of this review is to provide a summary of the various HPLC and sample preparation methods that have been employed to quantify individual phenolic acids in beer. | ||||||||||
