This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of the immediate and likely longer-term consequences of Brexit for the UK’s competition law regime and includes the competition and subsidy control provisions of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement. It has been written to be of value to scholars and practitioners of competition law, whilst also providing a useful guide to readers with only limited understanding of competition rules. The book provides a detailed critical discussion of how Brexit impacts on five key aspects of competition policy in the UK: legislation, institutions and cooperation; antitrust rules that prohibit anti-competitive agreements and the abuse of a dominant position; private enforcement, in particular actions for damages; regulation of mergers and acquisitions; and State aid or subsidy control rules.

The main quality challenge of beer is the change in its chemical composition during storage, which alters the sensory properties. The bitter tasting compounds trans-iso-α-acids converse into lingering and harsh bitter tasting tri- and tetracyclic degradation products. Using HPLC-MS/MS analysis, the present study focused on the impact of the pH value of beer on the formation of tricyclocohumol and tricyclohumol as analytical markers of beer ageing. The results exhibited a direct correlation between the pH value and the decomposition of trans-iso-α-acids to tricyclic degradation products. Within this connection, tricyclohumol presented a further analytical marker of beer ageing, in addition to tricyclocohumol.
