| Duration: | 60 minutes + Q&A Session |
| Speakers: | Dr. Jiri Snaidr Richard Sold |
| Platform: | Zoom Webinar |
Aim of the webinar
The webinar demonstrates how microorganisms can be detected and controlled in the brewing process to ensure product quality and prevent reputational damage from sensory flaws or recalls. The VIT® gene probe technology enables rapid and precise identification of relevant microorganisms, helping breweries optimize processes and minimize production losses.
The three key topics of the webinar:
- LECTURE 1: Microbiology in Breweries – Importance for Quality Assurance
In-depth analysis of the microbiological aspects of the brewing process, with a focus on the role of yeasts and bacterial contaminants. Overview of the composition of biocenoses in breweries and their influence on flavor, stability and fermentation efficiency.
- LECTURE 2: Optimization of Microbial QC with VIT® Gene Probe Technology
Presentation of the VIT® technology for the precise identification and quantification of microorganisms directly in brewery samples. Advantages such as faster and more specific results as well as options for integration into existing processes. Examples of savings and improved product safety through early contamination detection.
- LECTURE 3: Innovations in Microbiology – Future Technologies for Breweries
Overview of upcoming technologies, including AI-based applications and automation solutions for fermentation and process monitoring. The benefits of these technologies for increasing efficiency, sustainability and competitive advantages in the brewing industry will also be discussed.
The webinar will be supplemented with real-world case studies that highlight concrete examples from the brewing industry. It will demonstrate how targeted microbiological control stabilizes production processes, improves economic efficiency, and creates long-term competitive advantages.
Microbial quality control
Have you found microbial contamination in your sample and want to find out about the potential damage to production? We offer a comprehensive service portfolio and a wide range of test kits for fast and specific quality assurance of the entire production chain - from the raw material to the end product.
VIT® Beer Screening
The undesirable growth of beer spoiling bacteria / beer spoilers can lead to changes in odour, taste or colour and thus impair the quality of the beer. VIT® Beer Screening enables the specific identification of all relevant beer spoiling lactic acid bacteria.
VIT® Spoilage Yeasts
VIT® Spoilage Yeasts allows the reliable exclusion of viable spoilage yeasts in still and carbonated beverages. In addition, a clear distinction is made between obligate and potentially fermentative yeasts.
