Abstract
In recent years, the boom of the craft beer industry refocused the biotech interest from ethanol production to diversification of beer aroma profiles. This study analyses the fermentative phenotype of a collection of non-conventional yeasts and examines their role in creating new flavours, particularly through co-fermentation with industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae. High-throughput solid and liquid media fitness screening compared the ability of eight Saccharomyces and four non-Saccharomyces yeast strains to grow in wort. We determined the volatile profile of these yeast strains and found that Hanseniaspora vineae displayed a particularly high production of the desirable aroma compounds ethyl acetate and 2-phenethyl acetate. Given that H. vineae on its own can't ferment maltose and maltotriose, we carried out mixed wort co-fermentations with a S. cerevisiae brewing strain at different ratios. The two yeast strains were able to co-exist throughout the experiment, regardless of their initial inoculum, and the increase in the production of the esters observed in the H. vineae monoculture was maintained, alongside with a high ethanol production. Moreover, different inoculum ratios yielded different aroma profiles: the 50/50 S. cerevisiae/H. vineae ratio produced a more balanced profile, while the 10/90 ratio generated stronger floral aromas. Our findings show the potential of using different yeasts and different inoculum combinations to tailor the final aroma, thus offering new possibilities for a broader range of beer flavours and styles.
