Of all the stages involved in producing beers, pasteurization is traditionally regarded as potentiating most problems with regard to subsequent flavor stability.[1]

It would appear from the data as a whole that pasteurization (of beer) had little impact on the profile of carbonyl compounds with any effect being to slightly reduce the level of a few of the carbonyl peaks. Grönqvist et al (6) found only small differences in carbonyl compounds following pasteurization.[2]

Beers were pasteurised by a high-temperature short time (HTST) process i.e. fash pasteurisation. negative infuence of high temperature during pasteurisation on phenolic content was observed. After pasteurisation, concentrations of all phenolic compounds in beers (B1 and B2) decreased in comparison with their concentrations in fltered beer (FB1 and FB2). . Zhao (2015) described the efect of pasteurisation on concentrations of phenolic compounds. The concentration of ferulic, vanillic acid and chlorogenic acid reduced when the pasteurisation units (PU) increased from 10 to 20 PU. Szwajgier (2009) also reported that after pasteurisation the content of total polyphenols decreased.[3]
