“…However, it has been established that the rate of this deterioration is dependent not only on the total Cu and Fe concentrations, but mostly on the type of forms in which these metals are present in beer (Blanco et al, 2003;Svendsen and Lund, 2000;Fantozzi et al, 1998;Ono, 1996, 1999). Both metals form the complex ions with different organic compounds, and indeed, a few known beer components capable of scavenging the reactive oxygen species and capturing the Cu and Fe ions have been shown to inhibit the deleterious effect of O 2 and the promotion of the formation of oxygen radicals (Onate-Jaen et al, 2006;Bamforth, 1999;Fantozzi et al, 1998).…”
