Thanks to science and technology, people invent many new things related to alcoholic beverages, both in positive and negative aspects for human health.
Archaeological site discovered traces of wine.
The history of human alcohol production is hundreds of years earlier than what has been announced. Recently, Georgian archaeologists have discovered baked clay pottery used to store wine dating from 6,000 to 5800 BC.
Previously, the oldest wine barrels discovered in the Zagros Mountains (Iran) were only about 7,000 years old. In the new study, archaeologists excavated ruins of a Neolithic village south of Tbilisi, in the South Caucasus region, and found the remains of mud-brick houses, agricultural equipment, tools such as pots, vases…
After carefully studying the ceramic fragments, the scientists discovered traces of wine chemicals. Eight of the 30 fragments contained tartaric acid, a fairly common chemical found in grapes. Three other acids associated with alcohol are also present, and grape pollen is also found in the deeper layers of the ceramic vase shell.
Gut-friendly probiotic beer.
Although a lot of research has been done, people still cannot say whether alcohol is good or bad for health. Some claim that a moderate amount of red wine can reduce the risk of heart disease. But there is an opinion that drinking alcohol can lead to the risk of disease, so this issue is still controversial. Recently, a team of experts at the National University of Singapore (NUS) has successfully developed a healthy, alcoholic beverage recipe that is gut-friendly probiotic beer .
Probiotics are also known as good bacteria, useful for health, especially the digestive system. Probiotics are commonly found in dairy products, but NUS’s product is a very special probiotic found in beer. With the help of her professor (teacher), 4th year female student, Alcine Chan, 22 years old at NUS has successfully developed the aforementioned beer, containing the friendly strain of bacteria called Lactobacillus paracasei L26 . Natural bacteria that are abundant in the gut flora can promote immune system health.
It took Alcine Chan’s team 9 months to successfully develop a formula to create the optimal amount of probiotics in beer, especially in the fermentation stage and keep the bacteria alive, because of the fact that bacteria are difficult to survive in the environment. probiotic field. As a result, a beer with an alcohol content of 3.5% is born, with a slightly bitter taste due to the presence of lactic acid.
Daniel Perlman is to create a small side groove under each bottle, enough to prevent the wine droplets from seeping and pouring along the sides of the bottle.
Previously, when the wine was poured out, it fell on the bottle, soaked in the wrap or fell on the tablecloth. Although simple, it took 200 years to overcome this situation and is considered one of the brightest inventions of mankind in the 3rd millennium. This is an invention of Brandeis University (UoB), America, solves many problems and benefits the culinary industry and every family.
The inventor is Daniel Perlman , a physicist, and inventor, who is very fond of alcoholic beverages, he has spent a lot of effort to study the flow of liquids on wine bottles and officially discovered the secret. decided 3 years ago.
Daniel Perlman’s simple and effective solution was to create a small side groove under each bottle, enough to prevent the wine droplets from seeping and pouring along the sides of the bottle. The width of the groove is only about 2mm and 1mm deep, but it has the effect of stopping the phenomenon of falling on the handle. With the aforementioned invention, the future will change the design of wine bottles with original designs from the 1800s. Daniel Perlman is currently negotiating with bottle and container manufacturers to apply this research. for the storage of alcohol, beverages and other liquids.
Ayahuasca beverage is produced from the group of Amazonian vines containing the alkaloid harmaline.
To be more precise, ayahuasca is not an alcoholic beverage but many people still call it alcohol. This is a beverage produced from the group of Amazonian vines containing the alkaloid harmaline. As a result, the compound is a potent hallucinogen, used by indigenous peoples as a traditional spiritual medicine in many parts of the world. People love ayahuasca for many reasons, including the effect of helping to refresh the brain.
According to research related to mental health conducted by Canadian and Mexican scientists, ayahuasca can be used to treat eating disorders such as anorexia (anorexia) and bulimia, especially bulimia. used before meals or in food and culinary festivals. About two-thirds of people who take ayahuasca get relief from their symptoms, with the vast majority claiming that after taking ayahuasca, their emotions are significantly improved.
Some even reported that their eating disorders disappeared after taking ayahuasca. Although it is considered promising, to date there have been no studies that specifically confirm the effects of ayahuasca. Recently, a small-scale study with 16 subjects was completed and found that ayahuasca can help other psychiatric patients such as depression, addiction and anxiety improve their health. , especially emotional improvement.
