New discoveries on alcoholic beverages

Thanks to science and technology, people invented many new things related to alcoholic drinks, both positive and negative in human health.

Archaeological site discovered traces of wine.

The history of mankind's wine industry was born hundreds of years earlier than what was announced. Recently, Georgian archaeologists found that baked clay pottery used to store alcohol dates back to 6,000 to 5800 BC.

Previously, the oldest wine containers discovered in the Zagros Mountains (Iran) only date to about 7,000 years. In the new study, archaeologists unearthed the site of a New Stone Age village south of Tbilisi, the South Caucasus region and found ruins of mud-brick houses, agricultural equipment, tools such as pots, pots .

After thoroughly studying the ceramic fragments, the scientists discovered traces of wine chemistry. Eight of the 30 fragments contain tartaric acid, a fairly prevalent chemical found in grapes. Three other types of alcohol-related acids are also present, and grape pollen are also found in the deeper layers of ceramic shells.

The production of probiotic beer benefits the immune system

Probiotic beer is intestinal friendly.

Although many studies have been done, it is still not possible to determine whether alcohol is good or not good for health. Some claim that moderate amounts of red wine may reduce the risk of heart disease. But there are opinions, drinking alcohol can lead to a risk of disease, so this problem is still controversial. Recently, a team of experts at the National University of Singapore (NUS) has successfully developed a alcoholic beverage recipe, which is beneficial for gut-friendly probiotic beer .

Probiotic is also known as good bacteria, useful for health, especially digestive system. Probiotics are often found in dairy products, but NUS products are very special probiotics, found in beer. With the help of the professor (his teacher), the 4th year student, Alcine Chan, 22, of NUS, successfully developed the aforementioned beer, containing a friendly strain of bacteria called Lactobacillus paracasei L26 , vi. Many natural bacteria in the intestinal flora can increase the health of the immune system.

Alcine Chan's research group took nine months to successfully develop the formula for optimal probiotic production in beer, especially fermentation and keeping bacteria alive, because bacteria are difficult to survive in the environment. probiotics school. As a result, a beer with 3.5% alcohol content was born, slightly bitter taste because it contains lactic acid.

Born wine pouring bottle not dropped out

Daniel Perlman is creating a small side groove under each bottle, enough to prevent the drops of wine from seeping and pouring along the bottle.

In the past, the drops of wine pouring into the bottle dropped into the towel wrapped or dropped on the tablecloth. Although it is simple, it must be overcome after 200 years and is considered one of the brilliant inventions of mankind in the 3rd millennium. This is the invention of Brandeis University (UoB), America, solve many problems and benefit the food industry and for every family.

The inventor, Daniel Perlman , a physicist and inventor, who loves alcoholic drinks, has put a lot of effort into studying the fluid flow on the wine bottle and officially discovered the pumpkin. decided 3 years ago.

Daniel Perlman's simple and effective solution is to create a small side groove under each bottle, enough to prevent the wine drops from seeping and pouring along the bottle. The width of the groove is only about 2 mm and 1 mm deep, but it has the effect of ending the falling phenomenon of the handle. With this invention, the future will change the design of the original design wine bottle from the 1800s. Daniel Perlman is currently in talks with producers of bottles and containers to apply this research. for storing alcohol, drinks as well as other liquids.

Ayahuasca is beneficial for mental health?

Ayahuasca drinks are produced from a group of Amazonian vines containing alkaloid harmaline.

More precisely, ayahuasca is not alcoholic, but many still call it alcohol. This is a drink produced from a group of Amazonian vines containing alkaloid harmaline. As a result, this compound causes strong hallucinations, used by indigenous peoples as a traditional spiritual drug in many parts of the world. People like ayahuasca because of many things, which help to refresh the brain.

According to research related to mental health by Canadian and Mexican scientists, ayahuasca can be used to treat eating disorders such as anorexia and anorexia (bulimia), especially used before meals or in food and dining festivals. About two-thirds of people taking ayahuasca have the effect of relieving symptoms, the majority confirms after taking ayahuasca, their emotions are significantly improved.

Some said that their eating disorder had disappeared after taking ayahuasca. Although considered a promise, no research has confirmed the effect of ayahuasca so far. Recently, a small-scale study was completed, with 16 participants and found that ayahuasca could help other mental health groups such as depression, addiction and anxiety to improve health. , especially improving emotions.
