THE USE OF BITTERLEAF EXTRACT AS A MEANS OF EXTENDING THE SHELF-LIFE OF LOCALLY BREWED SORGHUM BEER

ABSTRACT

Locally brewed beer sorghum beer is an indigenous alcohol average. It is produced mainly from sorghum grain Sorghum vulgare and the process of brewing involves malting, mashing, souring, fermentation and packaging. Locally brewed beer without hops has a short shelflife. The aqueous extract of a tropical plant, bitterleaf was used as the hop .Two type of drink were produced, one with hops and another without hops. Chemical analyses were carried out on both drinks, which gave a significant p0.05 difference. Sorghum beer with hops has a total acidity of 0.5620.03, fixed acidity of 0.2030.001, Volatile acidity 0.3600.02, PH 3.93, specific gravity 1.0420.003, total dissolved solids 1.12105ppm, total suspended solids 1.65105ppm, ethanol content of 3.430.03 respectively. While sorghum beer without hops has a total acidity of 0.652 0.002, fixed acidity of 0.1760.002, volatile acidity of 0.4760.03, PH of 3.50 specific gravity of 1.0210.003, total dissolved solid of 1.15105ppm, total suspended solids of 1.5105ppm and an ethanol content of 3.650.02. The microbial count for sorghum beer with hop had no growth of E.coli, streptococcus and staphylococcus but aspergillus was present from the 4th day and heaviest on the 8th day. While the drink without hop had growth of staphylococcus and aspergillus which was seen from the 2nd day and heaviest on the 4th day but E.coli and streptococcus was absent. From the results, the drink with hops could keep for a longer period of time than the other drink without hops. Thus, the aqueous extract of Vernonia amygdalina could extend the shelflife of locally brewed sorghum beer.
