N2 - Influence of malt roasting on the oxidative stability of sweet wort was evaluated based on radical intensity, volatile profile, content of transition metals (Fe and Cu) and thiols. Malt roasting had a large influence on the oxidative stability of sweet wort. Light sweet worts were more stable with low radical intensity, low Fe content, and ability to retain volatile compounds when heated. At mild roasting, the Fe content in the wort increased but remained close to constant with further roasting. Dark sweet worts were less stable with high radical intensities, high Fe content, and a decreased ability to retain volatiles. Results suggested that the Maillard reaction compounds formed during the roasting of malt are prooxidants in sweet wort. A thiol-removing capacity was observed in sweet wort, and it was gradually inhibited by malt roasting. It is possibly caused by thiol oxidizing enzymes present in the fresh malt.
