Abstract
Infrared reflectance spectra of some new water based interior beer can coatings and of some hot melts coatings are discussed together with a comprehensive study of the influence of over 20 components of these water based coatings on the flavour of beer. A new thermoanalytical method (differential scanning calorimetry) has been applied to the determination of film weight variance in beer can coatings are results are given.
