- Title
Yeast Bioflavoring in Beer: Complexity Decoded and Built up Again.

- Abstract
Yeast is a powerful bioflavoring platform, suitable to confer special character and complexity to beer aroma. Enhancing yeast bioflavoring represents a chance for the brewing production chain to diversify its product portfolio and to increase environmental sustainability in the era of climate change. In flavor compound metabolism, multiple genes encoding biosynthetic enzymes and the related regulatory factors are still poorly known, but significant advances have been recently made to dissect gene contribution in flavor molecule production. Furthermore, causative mutations responsible for the huge strain diversity in yeast bioflavoring aptitude have been recently disclosed. This review covers the most recent advances in the genetics of yeast bioflavoring, with special regards to higher alcohols, esters, monoterpene alcohols, thiols, and phenolic derivatives of hydroxycinnamic acids. We also critically discussed the most significant strategies to enhance yeast bioflavoring, including bioprospecting for novel Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces strains, whole-genome engineering, and metabolic engineering.
