Use of Non-Saccharomyces Yeasts in Bottle Fermentation of Aged Beers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bottle fermented and brewed beers are reaching more recognition in present days due to their high sensory complexity. These beers normally are produced by an initial tank fermentation to metabolize the sugars obtaining the typical alcoholic degree, and later the foam and CO2 pressure is produced by subsequent bottle fermentation. The sensory profile is improved by the formation of some fermentative volatiles, but also by the ageing on lees, because beers are brewed during several months with the yeast cells that performed the fermentation. The use of non-Saccharomyces yeast is a trending topic in many fermentative food industries (wines, beer, bread, etc.). They open new possibilities to modulate flavor and other sensory properties during fermentation and biological ageing. This chapter review the effect of some non-Saccharomyces yeasts such as Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Torulaspora delbrueckii, Lachancea thermotolerans, Saccharomycodes ludwigii, and Brettanomyces bruxellensis in the bottle fermentation and brewing of beers analyzing their metabolic specificities and sensory contribution on beer taste.

Saccharomyces and Non-Saccharomyces Starter Yeasts
This chapter describes the importance of yeast in beer fermentation. Initially, the differences between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces pastorianus in the production of “ale” and “lager” beers are analyzed. Then, the relationships between beer nutrients and yeast growth are discussed, with special emphasis on the production of the flavor compounds. The impact of the wort composition ...
متن کاملTerminal acidic shock inhibits sour beer bottle conditioning by Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
During beer fermentation, the brewer's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae experiences a variety of shifting growth conditions, culminating in a low-oxygen, low-nutrient, high-ethanol, acidic environment. In beers that are bottle conditioned (i.e., carbonated in the bottle by supplying yeast with a small amount of sugar to metabolize into CO2), the S. cerevisiae cells must overcome these stressors t...
متن کاملDistinct Domestication Trajectories in Top-Fermenting Beer Yeasts and Wine Yeasts
Beer is one of the oldest alcoholic beverages and is produced by the fermentation of sugars derived from starches present in cereal grains. Contrary to lager beers, made by bottom-fermenting strains of Saccharomyces pastorianus, a hybrid yeast, ale beers are closer to the ancient beer type and are fermented by S. cerevisiae, a top-fermenting yeast. Here, we use population genomics to investigat...

Nitrogen sources in the must are important for yeast metabolism, growth, and performance, and wine volatile compounds profile. Yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN) deficiencies in grape must are one of the main causes of stuck and sluggish fermentation. The nitrogen requirement of Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolism has been described in detail. However, the YAN preferences of non-Saccharomyces yea...

The use of more concentrated, so-called high-gravity and very-high-gravity (VHG) brewer's worts for the manufacture of beer has economic and environmental advantages. However, many current strains of brewer's yeasts ferment VHG worts slowly and incompletely, leaving undesirably large amounts of maltose and especially maltotriose in the final beers. alpha-Glucosides are transported into Saccharo...
