The Production of Secondary Metabolites with Flavour Potential during Brewing and Distilling Wort Fermentations
نویسنده
چکیده
Ethanol, carbon dioxide and glycerol are the major products produced by yeast during wort fermentation but they have little impact on beer and spirit flavour. It is the type and concentration of secondary metabolites that can determine overall beer flavour. These compounds are (but not only) primarily: higher alcohols, esters, carbonyls and sulphur compounds—inorganic and organic. There are a number of factors that can modify the balance of these compounds most of which are discussed in this review paper.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the Production of Whisk(e)y
Whisk(e)y is a major global distilled spirit beverage. Whiskies are produced from cereal starches that are saccharified, fermented and distilled prior to spirit maturation. The strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae employed in whisky fermentations is crucially important not only in terms of ethanol yields, but also for production of minor yeast metabolites which collectively contribute to developm...
متن کاملModeling Of Alcohol Fermentation In Brewing - Comparative Assessment Of Flavor Profile Of Beers Produced With Free And Immobilized Cells
A detailed investigation of bioengineering constants for the accumulation of major yeast metabolites in beer produced by free and immobilized cells was carried out. The kinetic constants were used to determine the effect of immobilization on yeast metabolism. The esters synthesis dynamics was similar for the free and the immobilized cell which was confirmed by the kinetic model. The dynamics of...
متن کاملSaccharomyces species in the Production of Beer
The characteristic flavour and aroma of any beer is, in large part, determined by the yeast strain employed and the wort composition. In addition, properties such as flocculation, wort fermentation ability (including the uptake of wort sugars, amino acids, and peptides), ethanol and osmotic pressure tolerance together with oxygen requirements have a critical impact on fermentation performance. ...
متن کاملImprovement of Hypericin and Hyperforin Production Using Zinc and Iron Nano-oxides as Elicitors in Cell Suspension Culture of St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum L.)
Zinc and iron nano-oxides (100 ppb) were promoted the hypericin and hyperforin production in Hypericum perforatum cell suspension culture. High performance liquid chromatography method was used for detectection and identification of hypericin and hyperforin in H. perfuratum cell suspension cultures elicited with different concentrations of zinc and iron nano-oxide (0, 50, 100 and 150 ppb) after...

The lager brewing yeast Saccharomyces pastorianus, an interspecies hybrid of S. eubayanus and S. cerevisiae, ferments maltotriose, maltose, sucrose, glucose and fructose in wort to ethanol and carbon dioxide. Complete and timely conversion ("attenuation") of maltotriose by industrial S. pastorianus strains is a key requirement for process intensification. This study explores a new evolutionary ...
