There are a large number of small companies and specialty teas, and in some respects, I prefer to order from companies such as I would like to support small business.

Beer comes in several different flavors and used by millions of people around the world. Nevertheless, many beer lovers have the experience of tasting beer Skunk. This is not a pleasant taste and leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.

Well, a group of chemists from the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill) believe that they have identified the culprit Skunk beer. Hops is an ingredient added the brewing process to add flavor. It also acts as a preservative against bacterial growth. If beer is stored in a bottle, brewers usually use dark bottles to prevent jumping from exposure to light. The reason is that there are specific compounds in hops, known as isohumulones, which are sensitive to light. If hops are exposed to ultraviolet or visible light, isohumulones will break down and decompose by a process known as photodegradation. It is this reaction that lead to the Skunk odor of beer.

Using high-tech equipment called a time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, chemists have been able to explain the exact chemical reactions that occur when isohumulones to undergo photodegradation. The end product is what scientists call “skunky thiol”, which can be compared with Skunk glands, which produce a foul taste and odor.
