Hop derived bitter compounds, including alpha-acids, reduced and non-reduced iso-alpha-acids, were evaluated for their contribution to peak bitter intensity in lager beer. Alpha-acids are the precursors to the major bittering components in beer (iso-alpha-acids). Typically, alpha-acids do not survive the brewing process, but if a product is dry-hopped, they may...
Habitat fragmentation studies have produced complex results that are challenging
to synthesize. Inconsistencies among studies may result from variation in
the choice of landscape metrics and response variables, which is often compounded
by a lack of key statistical or methodological information. Collating
primary datasets on biodiversity responses to fragmentation in...
