Excessive alcohol consumption is detrimental to human health, and it is implicated in the development of heart disease, stroke, and cancer. However, the last few decades have given rise to epidemiological evidence suggesting that low-to-moderate consumption of red wine and beer may reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Studies have shown that moderate consumption of wine and beer protects against ischemic stroke, increases HDL plasma concentrations, and reduces platelet aggregation and insulin resistance.

Yeast biocapsules are a novel immobilization technology that could be used in fermentation processes. They are spherical structures consisting of yeast cells encapsulated and attached to the hyphae of a filamentous fungus. Yeast biocapsules offer a cutting-edge approach to cell immobilization, with significant potential for advancing fermented food production.

Fungi from the genus Dekkera, also known as Brettanomyces, are significant contaminants in commercial beer and wine production, and when present unintentionally, these non-domesticated yeasts result in the development of undesirable sensorial characteristics, in part due to the production of volatile phenols and acetate esters. The persistence of Dekkera spp. in industrial manufacturing environments can be attributed to its strong bioadhesive properties, allowing it to attach to various surfaces and form biofilms, which often contribute to recurrent contaminations.

Background: Sucrose is produced in the greatest quantity of all industrially produced organic substances and can be used in almost all processed foods. Glucose is the most abundant monosaccharide and contained in many foodstuffs naturally or added as an ingredient.
Objective: To validate the performance of the Enzytec™ Liquid Combi Sucrose/D-Glucose test kit for the determination of sucrose and D-glucose in juices, chocolate, breakfast cereals, ice cream, sweetened condensed milk, wine, beer, and soft drinks.

Phytochemicals as dietary components are being extensively explored in order to prevent and treat a wide range of diseases. Apigenin is among the most studied flavonoids found in significant amount in fruits (oranges), vegetables (celery, parsley, onions), plant-based beverages (beer, tea, wine) and herbs (thyme, chamomile, basil, oregano) that has recently gained interest due to its promising pharmacological effects. However, the poor solubility and extended first pass metabolism of apigenin limits its clinical use.
