Food Chem 2024; 435:137655. [PMID: 37806202 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.137655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/01/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023]
Abstract
Bottle conditioning occurs when yeast and a fermentable extract are added to beer prior to packaging. Aside from ethanol and carbon dioxide production, this process can minimize the production of off-flavors and increase the shelf-life of beer. The advantages of bottle conditioning rely on the yeast being able to quickly referment the beer and maintain viability during storage. In this study, a commercial ale yeast was propagated in wort on a large scale (30 hL) for 24 h or 72 h and seeded into pale ale beer for bottle conditioning. We found that yeast propagated until the post-diauxic shift (72 h) provided better longevity in the bottle and improved foam stability compared to the 24 h propagated yeast. At the time of seeding, yeast propagated for 72 h showed an upregulation of proteins involved in cellular respiration and general stress pathways that may indicate responses toward mitigating cellular stress levels.

Development of gluten-free craft beer: Impact of brewing process on quality attributes and consumer expectations for sensory properties. J Food Sci 2023; 88:5203-5215.

Abstract
To date, few studies investigated the differences between the two main gluten-free (GF) brewing techniques, such as the use of enzymes and the use of unconventional GF grains in brewing, by consumer perspective. In this study a GF beer brewed with sorghum and quinoa, as brewing adjuncts, was compared to the enzymatic-treated counterpart, in order to evaluate the effect of deglutinization treatment on physicochemical, volatile, and sensory characteristics of final beer. Moreover, the influence of brewing process and raw materials information on consumers' sensory perceptions, willingness to buy (WTB) and willingness to pay (WTP) was also investigated (n = 105 consumers), under blind (B), expected (E), and informed (I) conditions. The enzymatic-treated sample showed comparable physicochemical attributes with the untreated counterpart, except for a significant reduction in color and foam stability (p < 0.05). Non-significant difference between samples was found in the overall liking, WTB, and WTP mean scores in all three sensory test conditions (p > 0.05). The information about the deglutinization treatment had a negative impact on overall liking (p < 0.01), although WTP for both samples was significantly higher in the informed test than in blind condition (p < 0.05). Overall, Check-All-That-Apply test results confirmed that the deglutinization treatment does not affect the beer sensory profile, even if the information about brewing ingredients and technologies may slightly influence the consumers' sensory perception. Therefore, this result proves that it is possible to produce a marketable GF beer, simply by partially replacing 40% of barley malt with unconventional GF grains, without using enzymes for gluten reduction purpose.

Abstract
Beer is one of the oldest and most popular alcoholic beverages and is currently consumed worldwide. The various components used in the brewing process have a physiological impact on the consumer and current research aims to improve its technological and functional properties through the addition of natural compounds (plants or mushrooms). In this work, the addition of two different amounts (5 and 10 g/L) of Pleurotus eryngii var. eryngii in powder form added at different production stages (PRE and POST alcoholic fermentation) showed the improvement in yeast viability during the alcoholic fermentation, increased the alcoholic content, and improved the sensorial profile. Regarding the organoleptic profile in the experimental samples, cocoa/chocolate and mushroom aromas were found and the samples PRE10 and POST5 received the best ratings with respect to all evaluated parameters.

Online monitoring of higher alcohols and esters throughout beer fermentation by commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces pastorianus yeast. JOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY : JMS 2023; 58:e4959.

Abstract
Higher alcohols and esters are among the predominant classes of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that influence the quality of beer. The concentrations of these compounds are determined through a specific yeast strain selection and fermentation conditions. The effect of yeast strains on the formation of higher alcohols and esters throughout fermentations (at 20°C) was investigated. Flavour-relevant esters (ethyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, ethyl hexanoate and ethyl octanoate) and higher alcohols (isoamyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol and phenylethyl alcohol) were monitored throughout the fermentation using proton transfer reaction-time of flight-mass spectrometry (PTR-ToF-MS) coupled with an automated sampling system for continuous measurements. Compound identification was confirmed by analysis of samples using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Results demonstrated the specific time points where variation in higher alcohol and ester generation between yeast strains occurred. In particular, the concentrations of isoamyl acetate, ethyl octanoate and isoamyl alcohol between yeast strains were significantly different over the first 2 days of fermentation; whereas, after Day 3, no significant differences were observed. The two Saccharomyces pastorianus strains produced comparable concentrations of the key higher alcohols and esters. However, the key higher alcohol and ester concentrations varied greatly between the two S. cerevisiae strains. The use of PTR-ToF-MS to rapidly measure multiple yeast strains provides new insights on fermentation for brewers to modify the sensory profile and optimise quality.

Abstract
Recent interest in the special beer category has encouraged the search for novel brewing materials, including new ingredients and novel yeast strains, in order to differentiate the finished products. The aim of this work was to select non-brewing S. cerevisiae strains for the production of a fruit beer with raspberry. The in vitro tests and the wort fermentations allowed the selection of two sourdough S. cerevisiae strains, showing high maltose and maltotriose consumption, high ethanol production, and high viability. Fruit beers (FB) and control beers (CB) without raspberries were prepared. Fruit addition accelerated sugar consumption (7 days compared to 13 days) and increased ethanol and glycerol production by yeasts. Raspberry addition and the inoculated yeast strongly affected the aroma profile of beers. FB samples showed a higher amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs); the most represented classes were alcohols, followed by esters and acids. FB inoculated by the selected S. cerevisiae SD12 showed the highest VOCs concentration (507.33 mg/L). Results highlighted the possible application of sourdough yeast strains for the brewing process, which, combined with raspberry addition, can be exploited for the production of beers with enhanced aromatic features and suitable chemical properties.

Abstract
This study investigated the influence of three Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains, selected from different matrices - CHE-3 (cherry), P4 (sourdough) and TA4-10 (grape must) - on characteristics of Italian Grape Ale (IGA) beers obtained at microbrewery scale. A multidisciplinary approach, combining results from analysis of chemical, volatile and organoleptic profiles of the beers, was adopted to underline the relationships between yeast starter and the quality of final products. Detection volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by Gas-Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) after extraction carried out by head-space micro-extraction (HS-SPME) revealed that the beer obtained by P4 strain differed from the others for its higher concentrations of esters, alcohols, and terpenes as confirmed by PCA (principal component analysis) and Cluster heatmap. Furthermore, sensorial analysis and consumer test showed that this sample differed from others by more pronounced notes of "fruity smell and floral" and "olfactory finesse," and it was the most appreciated beer for smell, taste, and overall quality. Conversely, CHE-3 was the sample with the lowest concentrations of the identified volatiles and, together TA4-10, showed the highest scores for smoked, yeast, malt, and hop notes. As far as we know, these are the first results on the application of indigenous S. cerevisiae strains in the production of craft IGA beers analyzed through a complex multivariate approach.

Abstract
AbstractLow-alcohol beer (LAB) is a growing part of the brewing industry in terms of market volumes and consumer interest. Universities and research centres are making efforts to improve organoleptic profile and flavour stability of the product. One of the main limitations of such products is the stability. These beers must be severely filtered and pasteurized, causing a significant loss of quality in terms of flavour. Herein, flavour stability of an unpasteurized and unfiltered LAB was checked during 120 days of cold storage (4 ± 1 °C). The results showed that the beer remained stable for 120 days for many observed parameters. The alcohol content increased from 0.5 to 0.7% v/v. The beer without oxygen was more stable than that filled with oxygen in the headspace. The results confirmed the possibility to produce an unpasteurized craft LAB by Saccharomycodes ludwigii by the cold chain.

Abstract
Hop-derived volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and their transformation products significantly impact beer flavour and aroma. Geraniol, a key monoterpene alcohol in hops, has been reported to undergo yeast-modulated biotransformation into various terpenoids during fermentation, which impacts the citrus and floral aromas of the finished beer. This study monitored the evolution of geraniol and its transformation products throughout fermentation to provide insight into differences as a function of yeast species and strain. The headspace concentration of VOCs produced during fermentation in model wort was measured using Solid-Phase Microextraction Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (SPME-GC/MS) and Proton Transfer Reaction-Time of Flight-Mass Spectrometry (PTR-ToF-MS). In the absence of yeast, only geraniol was detected, and no terpenoid compounds were detected in geraniol-free ferments. During fermentation, the depletion of geraniol was closely followed by the detection of citronellol, citronellyl acetate and geranyl acetate. The concentration of the products and formation behaviour was yeast strain dependent. SPME-GC/MS provided confidence in compound identification. PTR-ToF-MS allowed online monitoring of these transformation products, showing when formation differed between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces pastorianus yeasts. A better understanding of the ability of different yeast to biotransform hop terpenes will help brewers predict, control, and optimize the aroma of the finished beer.

Abstract
The interest in and growth of craft beer has led to an intense search for new beers and styles. The revival of traditional styles has sometimes been hampered by the use of microorganisms such as lactic acid bacteria. Therefore, studies on alternative yeasts for the production of this style of beer have increased. In this work and together with previous studies carried out with yeasts isolated from Madrid agriculture (from grapes, must, wine, vineyards and wineries), the capacity of 10 yeast strains, belonging to the genus Lachancea thermotolerans, for the production of sour beer has been determined. For this purpose, different fermentation scale-ups (100 mL, 1 L and 100 L) have been performed and their fermentation capacity, aroma compound production (33 volatile compounds by GC), organoleptic profile (trained tasting panel and consumers), melatonin production (HPLC) and antioxidant capacity have been studied. Beer fermented with yeast strain CLI 1232 showed a balanced acidity with a fruity aromatic profile and honey notes. On the other hand, the beer fermented with strain 1-8B also showed a balanced acidity, but less fruity and citric flavour than CLI 1232 strain. Finally, the yeast strain selected by the consumers (CLI 1232) was used for beer production at industrial scale and the market launch of a sour beer.

Abstract
Although beer is a widely used beverage in many cultures, there is a need for a new drinking alternative in the face of rising issues such as health concerns or weight problems. However, non-alcoholic and low-alcoholic beers (NABLAB) still have some sensory problems that have not been fully remedied today, such as “wort-like”/”potato-like” flavours or a lack of aroma. These defects are due to the lack of alcohol (and the lack of the aldehyde-reducing effect of alcohol fermentation), as well as production techniques. The use of new yeast strains that cannot ferment maltose—the foremost sugar in the wort—is highly promising to produce a more palatable and sustainable NABLAB product because production with these yeast strains can be performed with standard brewery equipment. In the scientific literature, it is clear that interest in the production of NABLAB has increased recently, and experiments have been carried out with maltose-negative yeast strains isolated from many different environments. This study describes maltose-negative yeasts and their aromatic potential for the production of NABLAB by comprehensively examining recent academic studies.

Abstract
Much like other living organisms, yeast cells have a limited life span, in terms of both the maximal length of time a cell can stay alive (chronological life span) and the maximal number of cell divisions it can undergo (replicative life span). Over the past years, intensive research revealed that the life span of yeast depends on both the genetic background of the cells and environmental factors. Specifically, the presence of stress factors, reactive oxygen species, and the availability of nutrients profoundly impact life span, and signaling cascades involved in the response to these factors, including the target of rapamycin (TOR) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/protein kinase A (PKA) pathways, play a central role. Interestingly, yeast life span also has direct implications for its use in industrial processes. In beer brewing, for example, the inoculation of finished beer with live yeast cells, a process called "bottle conditioning" helps improve the product's shelf life by clearing undesirable carbonyl compounds such as furfural and 2-methylpropanal that cause staling. However, this effect depends on the reductive metabolism of living cells and is thus inherently limited by the cells' chronological life span. Here, we review the mechanisms underlying chronological life span in yeast. We also discuss how this insight connects to industrial observations and ultimately opens new routes towards superior industrial yeasts that can help improve a product's shelf life and thus contribute to a more sustainable industry.

The increasing interest in novel beer productions focused on non-Saccharomyces yeasts in order to pursue their potential in generating groundbreaking sensory profiles. Traditional fermented beverages represent an important source of yeast strains which could express interesting features during brewing. A total of 404 yeasts were isolated from fermented honey by-products and identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Zygosaccharomyces bailii, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii and Hanseniaspora uvarum. Five H. uvarum strains were screened for their brewing capability. Interestingly, Hanseniaspora uvarum strains showed growth in presence of ethanol and hop and a more rapid growth than the control strain S. cerevisiae US-05. Even though all strains showed a very low fermentation power, their concentrations ranged between 7 and 8 Log cycles during fermentation. The statistical analyses showed significant differences among the strains and underlined the ability of YGA2 and YGA34 to grow rapidly in presence of ethanol and hop. The strain YGA34 showed the best technological properties and was selected for beer production. Its presence in mixed- and sequential-culture fermentations with US-05 did not influence attenuation and ethanol concentration but had a significant impact on glycerol and acetic acid concentrations, with a higher sensory complexity and intensity, representing promising co-starters during craft beer production.

Abstract
Melatonin and serotonin are bioactive compounds present in foods and beverages and related to neuroprotection and anti-angiogenesis, among other activities. They have been described in wines and the role of yeast in their formation is clear. Thus, this study evaluates the content of these bioactives and other related indolic compounds in beer. For this purpose, commercial beers were analyzed by a validated UHPLC-HRMS method and sample treatment optimized due to the low concentrations expected. Moreover, a wort was fermented with different commercial beer yeast (Abbaye, Diamond, SafAle, SafLager) in order to monitor the formation of these bioactives during the elaboration process. Results show that indolic compounds such as N-acetylserotonin and 3-indoleacetic acid are produced during the alcoholic fermentation of wort. Moreover, the occurrence of four indolic compounds (5-hydroxytryptophan, N-acetylserotonin, 3-indoleacetic acid, l-tryptophan ethyl ester) in commercial beers is reported for the first time.

Abstract
Beer flavor and sensory quality are affected by storage time and temperature due to chemical breakdown and aging. This study aimed to investigate the organoleptic properties of temperature-abused, unpasteurized craft beer and analyze the chemical breakdown associated with the process. Sensory tests were performed using a triangle test to determine consumer identification of temperature-abused beer. The chemical tests were conducted to determine the chemical breakdown of the two beer groups: control beer (COB) and temperature-abused beer (TAB). The chemical analysis of the two beer groups showed significant changes in multiple chemical compounds such as ethyl esters, linear aldehydes, and sulphur-compounds; however, the sensory analysis results were not significant even though 39% of participants were able to detect differences. in this study, two factors identified that caused chemical reactions in the TABs were oxidation and live yeast cells. In conclusion, these results can be used by beer producers to ensure a quality product throughout the distribution chain by controlling time and temperature.

Abstract
Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated gluten-sensitive enteropathy. Currently, it affects around 1% of world population, but it is constantly growing. Celiac patients have to follow a strict gluten-free (GF) diet. Beer is one of the most consumed beverages worldwide, but it is not safe for people with CD. It has a gluten content usually above the safe threshold (20 ppm), determined by the official method for hydrolyzed foods (R5-competitive-ELISA). The demand on the market for GF beers is increasingly growing. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of different strategies to produce GF beer, highlighting strengths and weaknesses of each approach and taking into account technological and sensory issues. GF cereals or pseudocereals have poor brewing attitudes (if used as main raw material) and give the beer unusual flavour. Instead, enzymatic treatments allow traditional brewing process followed by gluten content reduction. A survey on 185 GF-producing breweries (both industrial and craft) from all over the world have been considered to assess which approach is most used. Beers brewed with GF cereals and pseudocereals (used in well-balanced proportions) are more common than gluten-removed (GR) beers, obtained by enzymatic treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A safe method to obtain gluten-free beer led to the use of naturally gluten-free grains, such as rice, but the specific malting program for rice is long and requires a large amount of water, and the resulting beer showed a flat flavour profile. In this study, an optimization of the malting and brewing procedure is proposed to overcome the aforementioned issues. Different steeping conditions and kilning temperatures are considered, and a top-fermented beverage from rice malt is obtained for the first time. RESULTS The malting procedure has been optimized by assessing the use of short-time steeping as an alternate to long air rest to obtain sufficient moisture content in the green malt, saving water consumption. The malt obtained allowed a regular fermentation, as confirmed by the sensorial analysis, which did not reveal any off-flavours. The use of a top-fermenting yeast formed high content of higher alcohol and relatively low amount of esters. CONCLUSION This study confirms the potential of rice for the production of malt and beer. The optimized malting programme allowed water saving. The production of a top-fermented rice malt beer was a successful attempt to introduce a new flavoured product for consumption by individuals affected by coeliac disease. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
