Americans have created device which can prevent hang-over
Group of scientists from Californian University headed by Richard Meties has created the device which allows to prevent headache after drinking of red wine.
Action of the small device is based on determination of level of so-called aromatic amines (components of red wine which are formed during the aging or fermentation). These components, in opinion of many experts, can cause headaches, occasional raise blood pressure and other unpleasant symptoms.
Therefore scientists have created the device which can accurately determine level of aromatic amines in a drink within five minutes. As a result of its testing it appeared, that the least level of these substances is contained in beer. Maximum histamine amount was revealed in saki. At the same time red wine featured the highest level of thiramine, however in different sorts of wine level of aromatic amines differed essentially.
Now researchers try to miniaturize the new device to the sizes of a pocket computer, so that people could take it in restaurant and test favorite wines for toxic amines content.
