Alemu TT, Kuyu CG. A review of the production, quality, and safety of traditionally fermented cereal-based alcoholic beverages in Ethiopia. Food Sci Nutr 2024; 12:3125-3136. [PMID: 38726402 PMCID: PMC11077225 DOI: 10.1002/fsn3.4012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
In Ethiopia, a diverse array of cereal-based alcoholic beverages is being prepared and consumed. These traditional fermented drinks are distinct to specific regions and are prepared by locals using locally available raw materials according to cultural traditions. Notable among these are Tella, Areki, Keribo, Borde, and Shamita, renowned for their nutritional benefits and their role in ensuring food security. This paper explores existing literature regarding the production, quality, and safety of traditional cereal-based alcoholic beverages in Ethiopia. Despite the widespread consumption of these beverages, they have yet to be commercialized, mainly due to their perceived low quality. The uncommercialized processes and products demand more attention, particularly in light of the country's inflationary pressures. Additionally, these traditional fermented beverages significantly enhance health due to the presence of bioactive compounds and their nutritional value. Standardizing and modernizing production methods by integrating scientific knowledge, such as optimizing fermentation practices, is essential to fully capitalize on these traditional beverages. Equipping local producers with this knowledge can facilitate the transition to larger scale production. Furthermore, continued research is essential to maintaining overall quality and safety standards. Therefore, it is crucial to concentrate on enhancing the nutritional value and quality of traditional cereal-based beverages in the future. By illuminating these aspects, this review aims to enhance understanding of the traditional Ethiopian alcoholic beverage industry and its potential for elevating quality and safety standards. Moreover, the review explores these beverages' cultural significance, consumption patterns, and associated health risks.

Daute M, Jack F, Walker G. The potential for Scotch Malt Whisky flavour diversification by yeast. FEMS Yeast Res 2024; 24:foae017. [PMID: 38684485 PMCID: PMC11095643 DOI: 10.1093/femsyr/foae017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2024] [Revised: 04/13/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Scotch Whisky, a product of high importance to Scotland, has gained global approval for its distinctive qualities derived from the traditional production process, which is defined in law. However, ongoing research continuously enhances Scotch Whisky production and is fostering a diversification of flavour profiles. To be classified as Scotch Whisky, the final spirit needs to retain the aroma and taste of 'Scotch'. While each production step contributes significantly to whisky flavour-from malt preparation and mashing to fermentation, distillation, and maturation-the impact of yeast during fermentation is crucially important. Not only does the yeast convert the sugar to alcohol, it also produces important volatile compounds, e.g. esters and higher alcohols, that contribute to the final flavour profile of whisky. The yeast chosen for whisky fermentations can significantly influence whisky flavour, so the yeast strain employed is of high importance. This review explores the role of yeast in Scotch Whisky production and its influence on flavour diversification. Furthermore, an extensive examination of nonconventional yeasts employed in brewing and winemaking is undertaken to assess their potential suitability for adoption as Scotch Whisky yeast strains, followed by a review of methods for evaluating new yeast strains.

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. [PMID: 37491759 DOI: 10.1002/jms.4959] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2023] [Revised: 04/14/2023] [Accepted: 06/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/27/2023]
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
Yeasts are ubiquitously present in different natural sources. Some of these yeasts have interesting characteristics for the production of fermented food products. This study characterized Lachancea thermotolerans and L. quebecensis isolated from insects to determine their brewing potential. The yeasts were evaluated according to their fermentative potential in glucose and maltose-defined media and their resistance to ethanol and hop. Finally, craft beer was elaborated at a laboratory scale (10 L). The yeasts utilized glucose as the only carbon source and produced 3.25 ± 1.77, and 4.25 ± 1.06% (v/v), of ethanol for L. thermotolerans and quebecensis, respectively. While in the maltose-defined medium, ethanol content reached 3.25 ± 0.45, and 3.92 ± 0.36, respectively. The presence of alpha acids and ethanol affected the growth of L. quebecensis, which showed lower growth at 90 IBU and 8 ethanol% (v/v) mixtures. The craft beer brewed with L. quebecensis in monoculture experiments showed fruity flavors associated with ethyl acetate and isoamyl acetate. The ethanol content reached 3.50 ± 0.46% (v/v). The beer pH was 4.06 ± 0.20, with a lactic acid concentration of 1.21 ± 0.05 g/L. The sensory panel identified the beer as "fruity", "floral", "hoppy", "sweet", and "sour". To our knowledge, this is the first time L. quebecensis was reported as a potential candidate for sour beer production with reduced ethanol content.

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
Demand for low- or non-alcoholic beers has been growing in recent years. Thus, research is increasingly focusing on non-Saccharomyces species that typically are only able to consume the simple sugars in wort, and therefore have a limited production of alcohol. In this project, new species and strains of non-conventional yeasts were sampled and identified from Finnish forest environments. From this wild yeast collection, a number of Mrakia gelida strains were selected for small-scale fermentation tests and compared with a reference strain, the low-alcohol brewing yeast Saccharomycodes ludwigii. All the M. gelida strains were able to produce beer with an average of 0.7% alcohol, similar to the control strain. One M. gelida strain showing the most promising combination of good fermentation profile and production of desirable flavor active compounds was selected for pilot-scale (40 L) fermentation. The beers produced were matured, filtered, carbonated, and bottled. The bottled beers were then directed for in-house evaluation, and further analyzed for sensory profiles. The beers produced contained 0.6% Alcohol by volume (ABV). According to the sensory analysis, the beers were comparable to those produced by S. ludwigii, and contained detectable fruit notes (banana and plum). No distinct off-flavors were noted. A comprehensive analysis of M. gelida's resistance to temperature extremes, disinfectant, common preservatives, and antifungal agents would suggest that the strains pose little risk to either process hygiene or occupational safety.

Abstract
The brewing activity in Andean Patagonia plays a very important role in the region's economy, being microbial contamination one of the main problems in terms of quality. The presence of contaminant bacteria and wild yeasts in beer generate microbiological, physical and chemical changes that impact on its sensory attributes. However, few breweries establish criteria and policies to guarantee the quality of their products in a microbiological sense. The purpose of this work was to study for the first time the incidence of microbial contaminants in bottled craft beers from Andean Patagonia, identify the main microorganisms involved and establish relationships between contamination and the physicochemical variables of beer. We analyzed 75 beers from 37 breweries from 12 different Patagonian cities. Our results showed that 69.3% of the analyzed beer exhibited contaminant microorganism growth. Bacteria Levilactobacillus brevis and wild yeasts of Saccharomyces were the main microorganisms responsible for these contaminations. In addition, we found that microbial contamination had an impact on beer sensory profile and also that pH was correlated with the presence of lactic acid bacteria in beer, being an indicator of contamination for these bacteria. In conclusion, we observed that 8 out of 10 breweries studied showed contamination problems, highlighting the need to design prevention and control strategies in microbreweries.

Abstract
There is a growing trend for beers with novel flavor profiles, as consumers demand a more diversified product range. Such beers can be produced by using non-Saccharomyces yeasts. The yeast species Saccharomycopsis fibuligera is known to produce exceptionally pleasant plum and berry flavors during brewer’s wort fermentation while its mycelia growth is most likely a technological challenge in industrial-scale brewing. To better understand and optimize the physiological properties of this yeast species during the brewing process, maltose and maltotriose uptake activity trials were performed. These revealed the existence of active transmembrane transporters for maltose in addition to the known extracellular amylase system. Furthermore, a single cell isolate of S. fibuligera was cultured, which showed significantly less mycelial growth during propagation and fermentation compared to the mother culture and would therefore be much more suitable for application on an industrial scale due to its better flocculation and clarification properties. Genetic differences between the two cultures could not be detected in a (GTG)5 rep-PCR fingerprint and there was hardly any difference in the fermentation process, sugar utilization and flavor profiles of the beers. Accordingly, the characteristic plum and berry flavor could also be perceived by using the culture from the single cell isolate, which was complemented by a dried fruit flavor. A fermentation temperature of 20°C at an original gravity of 10 °P proved to be optimal for producing a low-alcohol beer at around 0.8% (v/v) by applying the S. fibuligera yeast culture from the single cell isolate.

Abstract
Yeast plays a key role in the production of alcoholic beverages. Effective fermentation requires appropriate conditions to ensure the production of high-quality beer. The paper discusses the effect of dry brewing yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces pastorianus) after rehydration with water exposed to low-temperature, low-pressure glow plasma (PTW) in the atmosphere of air (PTWAir) and nitrogen (PTWN) in the course of the fermentation process, the formation of volatile compounds and other quality parameters of the finished beer. The obtained results show that the lager yeast strain initiated the process of fermentation faster after rehydration in the presence of PTWAir compared to all of the other treatments. It was observed that PTWAir significantly changed the composition of volatile compounds in the finished beer, especially by increasing the number of terpenes, which are compounds that positively shape the aroma of beer. In the case of PTWN samples, lower alcohol content, real extract, apparent extract and amount of biomass were observed in all analyzed strains.

Abstract
Beer is one of the most popular beverages in the world. The increased popularity of craft beers has led to the development of unique beers that are alcohol-free, gluten-free, low calorie, or with functional properties through fermentation with probiotic microorganisms. In this study, functional unhopped beers were evaluated by utilizing probiotics (Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Lpc-37 and ibSium Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3856) as starter cultures. The metabolites produced by probiotics were investigated using a nontargeted metabolomics approach and identified against metabolomics databases (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), Human Metabolome Database (HMDB), Yeast Metabolome Database (YMDB), METLIN tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS)). Derivatives of branched-chain (leucine) and aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine) were enriched (one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) p < 0.05) in probiotic-fermented unhopped beers, especially tryptophan metabolites. In addition, the synergistic effects of yeast-lactic acid bacteria (LAB) interactions led to further enrichment of higher acids such as (S)-(-)-2-hydroxyisocaproic acid, phenyllactic acid, hydroxyphenyllactic acid, and indolelactic acid. The potential pathways for the formation of novel bioactive tryptophan metabolites (indole and indoleacrylic acid) by LAB were elucidated. Altogether, probiotic LAB-fermented unhopped beer showed the highest antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content. This work provides the basis for the discovery of bioactive metabolites in probiotic-fermented foods.

Abstract
Saccharomyces pastorianus, genetic hybrids of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the Saccharomyces eubayanus, is one of the most widely used lager yeasts in the brewing industry. In recent years, new strategies have been adopted and new lines of research have been outlined to create and expand the pool of lager brewing starters. The vineyard microbiome has received significant attention in the past few years due to many opportunities in terms of biotechnological applications in the winemaking processes. However, the characterization of S. cerevisiae strains isolated from winery environments as an approach to selecting starters for beer production has not been fully investigated, and little is currently available. Four wild cryotolerant S. cerevisiae strains isolated from vineyard environments were evaluated as potential starters for lager beer production at laboratory scale using a model beer wort (MBW). In all tests, the industrial lager brewing S. pastorianus Weihenstephan 34/70 was used as a reference strain. The results obtained, although preliminary, showed some good properties of these strains, such as antioxidant activity, flocculation capacity, efficient fermentation at 15 °C and low diacetyl production. Further studies will be carried out using these S. cerevisiae strains as starters for lager beer production on a pilot scale in order to verify the chemical and sensory characteristics of the beers produced.

Abstract
The successful application of Saccharomyces eubayanus and Saccharomyces paradoxus in brewery fermentations has highlighted the potential of wild Saccharomyes yeasts for brewing, and prompted investigation into the application potential of other members of the genus. Here, we evaluate, for the first time, the brewing potential of Saccharomyces jurei. The newly isolated strain from an ash tree (Fraxinus excelsior) in Upper Bavaria, Germany, close to the river Isar, was used to ferment a 12°P wort at 15°C. Performance was compared directly with that of a reference lager strain (TUM 34/70) and the S. eubayanus type strain. Both wild yeast rapidly depleted simple sugars and thereafter exhibited a lag phase before maltose utilization. This phase lasted for 4 and 10 days for S. eubayanus and S. jurei, respectively. S. eubayanus utilized fully the available maltose but, consistent with previous reports, did not use maltotriose. S. jurei, in contrast, utilized approximately 50% of the maltotriose available, making this the first report of maltotriose utilization in a wild Saccharomyces species. Maltotriose use was directly related to alcohol yield with 5.5, 4.9, and 4.5% ABV produced by Saccharomyces pastorianus, S. jurei, and S. eubayanus. Beers also differed with respect to aroma volatiles, with a high level (0.4 mg/L) of the apple/aniseed aroma ethyl hexanoate in S. jurei beers, while S. eubayanus beers had a high level of phenylethanol (100 mg/L). A trained panel rated all beers as being of high quality, but noted clear differences. A phenolic spice/clove note was prominent in S. jurei beer. This was less pronounced in the S. eubayanus beers, despite analytical levels of 4-vinylguaiacol being similar. Tropical fruit notes were pronounced in S. jurei beers, possibly resulting from the high level of ethyl hexanoate. Herein, we present results from the first intentional application of S. jurei as a yeast for beer fermentation (at the time of submission) and compare its fermentation performance to other species of the genus. Results indicate considerable potential for S. jurei application in brewing, with clear advantages compared to other wild Saccharomyces species.

Abstract
The use of wild yeasts in fermentation is becoming a viable option for the differentiation of beers. To achieve good fermentation rates and alcohol yields, however, such yeasts must have the ability to utilize the wort sugars maltose and maltotriose, a relatively rare trait amongst non-domesticated yeasts. Zygotorulaspora florentina is a species with the ability to utilize both sugars, and was evaluated here with respect to its brewing potential. The strain studied (VTT C-201041) was isolated from bark of an oak tree (Quercus robur) in Espoo, Finland. The fermentation performance of the strain was compared to that of two ale yeasts as well as the species type strain (VTT C-94199). Both Z. florentina strains fermented wort efficiently (apparent attenuation levels >77%). While the type strain had the highest yield, the Finnish strain produced more volatile aroma compounds. The species is capable of decarboxylating ferulic acid to produce the spice/clove-like compound 4-vinylguaiacol, which was present in beers at a concentration above the typical flavor threshold. The characteristic flavor of 4-vinylguaiacol was not however perceptible in taste trials, possibly due to the masking effect of other compounds. The potential of this species for industrial application is discussed, particularly in relation to its apparent ethanol sensitivity.

Volatile Compound Screening Using HS-SPME-GC/MS on Saccharomyces eubayanus Strains under Low-Temperature Pilsner Wort Fermentation. Microorganisms 2020; 8:microorganisms8050755.

Abstract
The recent isolation of the yeast Saccharomyces eubayanus has opened new avenues in the brewing industry. Recent studies characterized the production of volatile compounds in a handful set of isolates, utilizing a limited set of internal standards, representing insufficient evidence into the ability of the species to produce new and diverse aromas in beer. Using Headspace solid-phase microextraction followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS), we characterized for the first time the production of volatile compounds in 10 wild strains under fermentative brewing conditions and compared them to a commercial lager yeast. S. eubayanus produces a higher number of volatile compounds compared to lager yeast, including acetate and ethyl esters, together with higher alcohols and phenols. Many of the compounds identified in S. eubayanus are related to fruit and floral flavors, which were absent in the commercial lager yeast ferment. Interestingly, we found a significant strain × temperature interaction, in terms of the profiles of volatile compounds, where some strains produced significantly greater levels of esters and higher alcohols. In contrast, other isolates preferentially yielded phenols, depending on the fermentation temperature. This work demonstrates the profound fermentation product differences between different S. eubayanus strains, highlighting the enormous potential of this yeast to produce new styles of lager beers.

Abstract
With a growing interest in non-alcoholic and low alcohol beer (NABLAB), researchers are looking into non-conventional yeasts to harness their special metabolic traits for their production. One of the investigated species is Lachancea fermentati, which possesses the uncommon ability to produce significant amounts of lactic acid during alcoholic fermentation, resulting in the accumulation of lactic acid while exhibiting reduced ethanol production. In this study, four Lachancea fermentati strains isolated from individual kombucha cultures were investigated. Whole genome sequencing was performed, and the strains were characterized for important brewing characteristics (e.g., sugar utilization) and sensitivities toward stress factors. A screening in wort extract was performed to elucidate strain-dependent differences, followed by fermentation optimization to enhance lactic acid production. Finally, a low alcohol beer was produced at 60 L pilot-scale. The genomes of the kombucha isolates were diverse and could be separated into two phylogenetic groups, which were related to their geographical origin. Compared to a Saccharomyces cerevisiae brewers' yeast, the strains' sensitivities to alcohol and acidic conditions were low, while their sensitivities toward osmotic stress were higher. In the screening, lactic acid production showed significant, strain-dependent differences. Fermentation optimization by means of response surface methodology (RSM) revealed an increased lactic acid production at a low pitching rate, high fermentation temperature, and high extract content. It was shown that a high initial glucose concentration led to the highest lactic acid production (max. 18.0 mM). The data indicated that simultaneous lactic acid production and ethanol production occurred as long as glucose was present. When glucose was depleted and/or lactic acid concentrations were high, the production shifted toward the ethanol pathway as the sole pathway. A low alcohol beer (<1.3% ABV) was produced at 60 L pilot-scale by means of stopped fermentation. The beer exhibited a balanced ratio of sweetness from residual sugars and acidity from the lactic acid produced (13.6 mM). However, due to the stopped fermentation, high levels of diacetyl were present, which could necessitate further process intervention to reduce concentrations to acceptable levels.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic beer (NAB) is enjoying growing demand and popularity due to consumer lifestyle trends and improved production methods. In recent years in particular, research into the application of non-Saccharomyces yeasts to produce NAB via limited fermentation has gained momentum. Non-Saccharomyces yeasts are known to produce fruity aromas, owing to a high ester production. This trait could be harnessed to mask the often-criticized wort-like off-flavor of NAB produced via limited fermentation. Six Cyberlindnera strains were characterized and screened in wort extract. Four of the six strains produced a pleasant, fruity aroma while exhibiting low ethanol production. The strain Cyberlindnera subsufficiens C6.1 was chosen for fermentation optimization via response surface methodology (RSM) and a pilot-scale (60 L) brewing trial with subsequent sensory evaluation. A low fermentation temperature and low pitching rate enhanced the fruitiness and overall acceptance of the NAB. The NAB (0.36% ABV) produced on pilot-scale was significantly more fruity and exhibited a significantly reduced wort-like off-flavor compared to two commercial NABs. This study demonstrated the suitability of Cyberlindnera subsufficiens to produce a fruity NAB, which can compete with commercial NABs. The outcome strengthens the position of non-Saccharomyces yeasts as a serious and applicable alternative to established methods in NAB brewing.

Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae variety diastaticus is generally considered to be an obligatory spoilage microorganism and spoilage yeast in beer and beer-mixed beverages. Their super-attenuating ability causes increased carbon dioxide concentrations, beer gushing and potential bottle explosion along with changes in flavor, sedimentation and increased turbidity. This research shows clear differences in the super-attenuating properties of S. cerevisiae var. diastaticus yeast strains and their potential for industrial brewing applications. Nineteen unknown spoilage yeast cultures were obtained as isolates and characterized using a broad spectrum of genetic and phenotypic methods. Results indicated that all isolates represent genetically different S. cerevisiae var. diastaticus strains except for strain TUM PI BA 124. Yeast strains were screened for their super-attenuating ability and sporulation. Even if the STA1 gene responsible for super-attenuation by encoding for the enzyme glucoamylase could be verified by real-time polymerase chain reaction, no correlation to the spoilage potential could be demonstrated. Seven strains were further characterized focusing on brewing and sensory properties according to the yeast characterization platform developed by Meier-Dörnberg. Yeast strain TUM 3-H-2 cannot metabolize dextrin and soluble starch and showed no spoilage potential or super-attenuating ability even when the strain belongs to the species S. cerevisiae var. diastaticus. Overall, the beer produced with S. cerevisiae var. diastaticus has a dry and winey body with noticeable phenolic off-flavors desirable in German wheat beers.

Abstract
Alcohol-free beer (AFB) is no longer just a niche product in the beer market. For brewers, this product category offers economic benefits in the form of a growing market and often a lower tax burden and enables brewers to extend their product portfolio and promote responsible drinking. Non-Saccharomyces yeasts are known for their flavor-enhancing properties in food fermentations, and their prevailing inability to ferment maltose and maltotriose sets a natural fermentation limit and can introduce a promising approach in the production of AFB (≤0.5% v/v). Five strains isolated from kombucha, Hanseniaspora valbyensis, Hanseniaspora vineae, Torulaspora delbrueckii, Zygosaccharomyces bailii and Zygosaccharomyces kombuchaensis were compared to a commercially applied AFB strain Saccharomycodes ludwigii and a Saccharomyces cerevisiae brewer’s yeast. The strains were characterized for their sugar utilization, phenolic off-flavors, hop sensitivity and flocculation. Trial fermentations were analyzed for extract reduction, ethanol formation, pH drop and final beers were analyzed for amino acids utilization and fermentation by-products. The performance of non-Saccharomyces strains and the commercial AFB strain were comparable during fermentation and production of fermentation by-products. An experienced sensory panel could not discriminate between the non-Saccharomyces AFB and the one produced with the commercial AFB strain, therefore indicating their suitability in AFB brewing.

Abstract
The process by which beer is brewed has not changed significantly since its discovery thousands of years ago. Grain is malted, dried, crushed and mixed with hot water to produce wort. Yeast is added to the sweet, viscous wort, after which fermentation occurs. The biochemical events that occur during fermentation reflect the genotype of the yeast strain used, and its phenotypic expression is influenced by the composition of the wort and the conditions established in the fermenting vessel. Although wort is complex and not completely characterized, its content in amino acids indubitably affects the production of some minor metabolic products of fermentation which contribute to the flavour of beer. These metabolic products include higher alcohols, esters, carbonyls and sulfur-containing compounds. The formation of these products is comprehensively reviewed in this paper. Furthermore, the role of amino acids in the beer flavour, in particular their relationships with flavour active compounds, is discussed in light of recent data.
