Case Study: Using Dynamic Micro-CT to Compare Beer Head Quality

 Case Study: Using Dynamic Micro-CT to Compare Beer Head Quality

by Dr. Wesley De Boever, Product Marketing Manager, TESCAN

Dynamic micro-CT acquires data continuously, enabling scientists to capture data from unpredictable events that may be missed with conventional time-lapse techniques. Dynamic micro-CT is particularly valuable for food sciences because it allows researchers to visualize the 3D change in internal structure while undergoing physical change such as baking or melting.

Case Study: Analysis of Beer Head

Beer head is the frothy foam on top of beer. The head is produced by bubbles of gas, predominantly carbon dioxide, rising to the surface. The elements that produce the head are wort protein, yeast and hop residue. One could certainly argue that the foam plays an important role in the high quality of beer, but why?
