N2 - The influence of pasteurization on non-filtered beers was investigated during accelerated storage (40°C, 41 days). Two beers were produced from the same hopped wort, which was fermented with two different yeast strains. Half of the bottled beers were tunnel pasteurized resulting in four different beer samples. The pasteurization influenced the volatile profile of both fresh beers, but during storage the differences between the volatile profiles of pasteurized and non-pasteurized beers disappeared. During the storage period, the pasteurized beers gave a lower rate of radical formation, as evaluated by electron spin resonance spectroscopy, indicating a better oxidative stability. The pasteurization had no effect on the levels of the pro-oxidative metals iron and copper. Pasteurization slightly increased the protein content of the beers. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the two beers had different protein profiles, which changed during storage; however, pasteurization of both beers did not affect their protein profiles. The level of thiols were lowered in one beer and raised in the other beer by pasteurization, but during storage the levels of thiols decreased at the same rate in all of the beers. It was concluded that pasteurization had a positive influence on the oxidative stability of non-filtered beer.
