Red rice conjugated with barley and rhododendron extracts for new variant of beer

Beer is one of the oldest, low- alcoholic, universally consumed beverages produced by the alcoholic fermentation with yeast that leads to hydrolysis of starch into maltose and other sugars, and finally to alcohol.

Red rice conjugated with barley and rhododendron extracts for new variant of beer - Journal of Food Science and Technology

This study aimed to determine the effect and potential of red rice in conjunction with barley and rhododendron extracts to develop a new variant of beer. In this study red rice, barley, and rhododendron extracts were used in different combinations and the best combination was selected based on quality and sensory characteristics. The results showed that the developed beer was rich in antioxidant activity (47.68 ± 0.96) and contained a good amount of anthocyanin (35.12 ± 0.79), flavonoids (0.119 ± 0.002), and polyphenols (0.410 ± 0.002). The red rice has more dietary significance than that of polished or milled rice, further, the use of rhododendron provides a large number of secondary metabolites such as tannins, saponins, alkaloids, tannins, and flavonoids. Besides, the sensory profile of the developed beer was quite distinct in terms of aroma, taste, and color from other alternatives available in the market.

The research confirms that there is a possibility of brewing beer with red rice in combination with barley malt and rhododendron extracts to obtain a new variant of beer in the market which has a positive effect on the quality of beer in terms of antioxidant activity, better anthocyanins content and another physicochemical character.
