WEEK 1 and 2

INTRODUCTION TO BEVERAGES

Beverages are simply fluids apart from water consumed to stimulate, nourish, refresh the body and can also quench taste. They are alcoholic and non alcoholic.

Types of beverages

1. Alcoholic beverages
2. Non alcoholic beverages

                              ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES

These are simply beverages that contain some percentage of ethyl alcohol between 1% -75%. It is either obtained by fermentation of sugar based foods or the distillation of fermented products e.g. spirits, liqueur, beer, cider and wine, local or traditional African beer (burukutu). Alcohol is the liquid made by the fermentation or distillation of ethanol (the sugar present in intoxicating drinks). It is also used as fuel and in thermometer. Alcohol is obtained in two forms name:

1. Fermentation: The sugar in fruit or grain is converted into alcohol by the action of bacteria. Carbon dioxide a bi-product is retained for fizzy drinks like beer and champagne.
2. Distillation: The fermented mash of fruit or grain is heated. Alcohol which is evaporates at a lower temperatures then water is trapped and condensed to a liquid by cooling. Pure distilled alcohol has no colour, taste or smell and it is used in fortifying other beverages such as liqueurs

Alcoholic Beverages Includes:

• Spirits
• Liqueurs
• Beer
• Cider and wine
• Local traditional beer e.g. pito, burukuku.

1. SPIRITS: It’s any liquid containing a significant amount of distilled ethanol. They contain drinkable alcohol such as esters, volatile acids or organic compounds obtained from distillation. Its classification is based on the source from where they get the sugar to convert into alcohol such as grains (barley, maize, rye, corn) for making whisky and liqueurs, vegetables (potatoes) vodka, fruit (sugar cane, grape, apricot, juniper berries (rum, brandy, liqueurs, gin, bitters, etc.).
2. Brandy: They are spirits distilled from fermented juice of grape or other fruits
3. Gin: It is produced from cereal like maize or rye. It is also from barley and flavoured with jumper berries and coriander seeds.

iii. Vodka:  It is a very pure still spirit which is purified by passing it through charcoal to remove aroma and flavor. It is colourless and flavourless. e.g. Smirnoff red,  blue, black, silver, citrus, raspberry.

1. Whisky: It is a spirit made from the fermented mash of cereals such as maize, malted barley and rye and is aged in wood.
2. Rum: It is made from fermented by product of sugar cane. It is popular in countries where sugar canes are many. It is classified into white and dark rum. White rum is made without adding any colour eg Bacardi rum while dark rum is the same as white rum except that a highly refined sugarcane syrup or caramel is added to it to give it colour and flavor e.g Bacardi dark rum, etc.
3. Schnapps:  It is a spirit distilled from fermented potato base and flavoured with caraway seed, mostly produced in Germany and Holland.

2 CIDERS: This is an alcoholic beverages obtained through the fermentation of apple juice or mixture of apple juice and 25% pear juice respectively. e.g. Liqueurs, draught, etc.

3. BEER: Beer is a potable alcoholic beverage fermented from barley malt and flavoured with hops which is a dried ripe flower of the mulberry or nettle family. The alcoholic content in a beer ranges from 3% to 5%. e.g. Lager beer, Ale, Draft beer, Stout, etc.
4. LIQUEURS: They are sweetened and flavoured spirit. It is flavoured with black currants, caraway, citrus nutmeg, cinnamon, kernels of almond, etc. 

                              PRODUCTION OF LIQUERURS

Heat/Infusion method: This is when herbs, peels, roots are being used as heat can extract their oil, flavours and aromas.

Cold/Maceration method: This is best obtained when soft fruits are to provide flavours and aromas.

                             TYPES OF LIQUEURS

1. Bailey’s Irish cream: This is a popular liqueur with coffee and honey or chocolate and cream colour.
2. Comtreau: It is a clear liqueur produced by using orange/brandy as flavour and spirit based.

iii. Malibu: It is a clear liqueur in which coconut/rum is used for flavor.

1. Maraschino: This is a clear liqueur which is produced by using maraschino cherry for flavor and spirit based made in Italy.

v.Tia Maria: This is brown in colour. Coffee/rum is used as flavor.

 

4. WINE: Wine is an alcoholic beverage obtained from the fermentation of freshly gathered grapes. It has been in existence since over 6000 years and is produced in most p[arts of the world.  

EVALUATION QUESTIONS

1. State two major ways of producing liqueurs and explain any of them.
2. Mention five types of liqueur and explain any two.
3. Classify beverages.

                   CLASSIFICATION OF WINE/TYPES

1. TABLE /STILL/LIGHT WINE: This is the largest category and its alcoholic strength is between 7% to 14%. e.g. red wine, white wine and rose wine. 
2. White wine: It is produced from white grape juice. It is usually fermented away from the skin.
3. Red wine: It is produces from fermented grapes in which the skin is sed. It is a dry wine and it’s served at room temperature.

iii. Rose wine: It can be produced from three ways such as through black grape fermentation with the skin for 48 hours, by mixing red and white wine together or by pressing the grapes so that the colour is extracted. 

 

2. SPARKLING WINE: They are given sparkling effect treatment. These are wines with carbon dioxide to make it fizzy. It is achieved by pressure or re-fermentation when the carbon dioxide is captured in the bottle. They are referred to as effervescent as a result of its second fermentation in the bottle. e.g. Champagne.

 

3. FORTIFIED WINE: They are strengthened by the addition of alcohol either during or after fermentation. This increases its alcoholic content from 14% to 24%. e.g. Sherry, Marsala, Malaga, Madeira etc.

 

4. AROMATIZED WINE: They are produced by flavouring a simple basic wine with a blend of ingredient e.g., vermouth of different types, dubonnet. They are popular in aperitifs.

 

             FACTORS AFFECTING THE TASTE AND QUALITY OF WINE 

1. Climate and micro climate.
2. Nature of the soil and sub soil.

iii. Vine family and grape species.

1. Method of cultivation and viticulture.
2. Composition of the grapes.
3. Yeast and fermentation.

vii. Methods of wine making (vinification).

viii. Lack of the year (vintage).

1. Ageing and maturing process.
2. Method of shipping and transportation.
3. Storage temperature.

                               

 

                           STEPS IN WINE PRODUCTION

1. PICKING/ HARVESTING: The matured and ripe grapes are harvested for the production of the wine.

 

2. SORTING/WEIGHING/REMOVAL OF STALKS: The harvest grape are gathered and sorted our according to colour and quality. Damaged or poorly grown ones are discarded.

 

3. PRESSING/CRUSHING: After sorting, the grapes are weighed accordingly and crushed to extract the juice. To make white wines, the skin is not included during crushing and fermentation. While for red wine, the skin is included when crushing.  This process is either done manually by the feet or mechanically.

 

4. SULPHURING: Sulphur dioxide is added fairly early in fermentation process to prevent air from oxidizing the juice and converting the alcohol into vinegar.

 

5. FERMENTATION: This is the conversion of the natural sugar in the grape into alcohol and carbon-dioxide. This takes place with the action of yeast. In hot climate, fermentation can be over in just one week while in cold weather it takes longer time. Fermentation is done in a stainless still vat by adding wine yeast known as (Saccharomyces Ellipsoideus) to fresh grape juice to convert the natural sugar in the grape to ethyl alcohol. 

 

6. MATURATION: The wine is allowed to mature in a cask or other container for several months to improve its flavor. This is called MATURATION/AGEING.  As the wine matures, it evaporates so the cask must be topped with the same wine to avoid air from getting into it. Wine can also be matured in bottles.

                            FAULTS IN WINE PRODUCTION

1. Corked wine: This is caused by diseased corks by the action of bacteria or excessively bottle age.
2. Secondary fermentation: This happens when traces of sugar and yeast are left in the bottle giving the wine an unpleasant prickly taste.
3. Cloudiness: It’s caused by suspended matter in wine.
4. Foreign contamination: Its splintered or powered glass caused by bottling machinery or re-used bottle.
5. Maderization or oxidation: It is caused by bad storage leading to too much exposure to air.
6. Acetification: Occurs when the wine is over exposed to air thereby giving it a sour taste.
7. Excess sulphur-dioxide (SO2): Sulphur-dioxide is used as preservative, however excess of it can spoils the wine.

                 GUIDELINES FOR COSTING DISHES

1. There should be a manual consisting of dishes and their recipes showing the ingredients and quantity.

 

2. The yield or the number of portions that can be obtained from a dish should be specified in a recipe.

 

3. The unit prices vary from time to time depending on the season of the year.

 

4. Once the recipe for the product and the price of the ingredient is known, the cost of each ingredient used should be calculated by multiplying the unit price by the quantity used; In order to calculate the total cost of the ingredient used, the cost of all the ingredients are summed up accordingly.

 

5. It is necessary to know the cost of the portion of the dish produced, this is done by dividing the hotel cost with the number of portion yield.

 

6. In order to know the charge on the portion of the dish, the dish per portion is marked up 

by the amount (gross profit) that will cover the labour and overhead and still provide a reasonable amount for net profit. For instance, if the cost per portion is X, and the margin is 60% .It simply implies that cost percentage will be;

100 – 60 = 40

X   x 100

40 x   1                       

Costing sheet is used for costing dishes.

QUANTITY	INGREDIENTS	UNIT COST	COST
4 LITRES	WHITE SAUCE	8.00	32.00
200PCS	EGGS	0.80	160.00
1KG	BUTTER	23.00	23.00
3KG	HAM	25.00	75.00
8PCS	SANDWICH	8.00	64.00
60KG	SALT	2.50	2.50
30KG	PEPPER	1.50	1.50
		TOTAL	360.00
		PORTION COST PER 100	360/100 =3.60
		CHARGE PER PORTION	9.00
		60% MARGIN

To calculate the selling price, exclusive of the value added tax, if the required gross profit is to be 60%.

Selling price = food cost x100

S.P = 3.60 X 100 = 9.00

         40         1

Where F.C = FOODCOST;

S.P = SELLING PRICE

Gross profit: – the production of sale added to food cost so as to cover the labour cost, overhead cost and the profit. Another name for gross profit is kitchen profit.

The gross profit = labour cost + overhead cost + net profit.

Gross profit = sales – food cost.

                                

TERMS USED WITH GROSS PROFIT.

Mark: – this is a term used when gross profit Is expressed as a percentage of the sales; margin may vary at times, where food cost may be cheap enough that it can be heavily marked up.

EXAMPLE: The sale of a dish is #2000.00; the food cost is #800.00.What is the margin?

Solution

Gross profit = sales – food cost

Gross profit= #2000.00 – #800.00 = #1200.00

Margin = gross profit   X   100

                 Sales                  1

 

= 1200   X 100

   2000       1     

   = 60%

 

Mark up: This is the amount added to food cost to get the selling price. This amount is the gross profit, when the amount is expressed as a percentage of food cost, it is known as the mark up.

Mark up = gross profit X 100

                  Food cost        1
