    • English
    Alcohol-free Beer: From Production to Consumer Perception covers this unique, emerging market segment. The book begins with introductory content and definitions before covering the production process, with a focus on fermentation methods. Nutritional aspects, flavor, and sensory characteristics of the end product as well as consumer perceptions are also covered. As the first academic book on the market to exclusively cover non-alcoholic and low ABV beer, this book will be particularly useful to researchers interested in alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, fermentation, and consumer behavior, especially as it relates to the consumption of alcohol (or lack thereof). Consumers seeking out better mental and physical wellbeing are opting to drink less alcohol, giving rise to this beverage trend. Yet for researchers and industry professionals crafting the product, it can be a challenge to closely replicate the pleasant taste of alcoholic beer. As the market for alcohol-free beer has undergone a unique, global rise in volume of consumption and production during the last decade, this book will be ideal for brewing chemists and beverage industry scientists hoping to create new alcohol-free beverages.
