Scientists at the Technical University of Dortmund have designed a polymer 'trap' that captures Riboflavin (Vitamin B2). This means that when light passes through the beer (in the bottle) the amount of photo-oxidation is greatly reduced. In layman's terms, the taste doesn't go off so quickly! The work was sponsored by the brewer Heineken! (Can't see the point of this...there's not enough time for light to pass through the glass when I'm drinking!!)
