Popis: 3-Deoxyglucosone (3-DG) is a Maillard reaction intermediate, which forms known beer aging compounds such as Strecker aldehydes. However, the role of 3-DG in beer aging stability has not been described yet. To investigate the influence of 3-DG toward beer aging stability, different concentrations of 3-DG were added to the freshly brewed beer at the beginning of storage. Analysis of well-known degradation products of 3-DG such as 3-deoxygalactosone (HPLC-UV), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HPLC-UV), Strecker aldehydes (GC-MS), and free glycated amino acids (HPLC-MS/MS) during beer aging revealed that a higher initial 3-DG concentration increases the formation of the products. In this study, the significant importance of 3-DG as a key precursor compound in beer aging has been shown, especially the increase of Strecker aldehydes.
