Non-alcoholic beers | The number of non-alcoholic beers acknowledged as being isotonic is steadily rising. Non-alcoholic beer-based beverages such as shandies are meantime on the shelves. Isotonic beverages are liquids with osmotically active particles per kg, the number of which corresponds to human blood. Size or type of particles does not play any part in osmotic pressure as these are not a chemical phenomenon but a physical one. The number of particles (dissolved atoms and ions and also molecules such as sugar, proteins, ethanol) is solely significant. Thus, osmotic pressure is a colligative property.
