- Abstract
The use of non-Saccharomyces yeasts in brewing is a useful tool for developing new products to meet the growing consumer demand for innovative products. Non-Saccharomyces yeasts can be used both in single and in mixed fermentations with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as they are able to improve the sensory profile of beers, and they can be used to obtain functional beers (with a low ethanol content and melatonin production). The aim of this study was to evaluate this capacity in eight non-Saccharomyces strains isolated from Madrid agriculture. For this purpose, single fermentations were carried out with non-Saccharomyces strains and sequential fermentations with non-Saccharomyces and the commercial strain SafAle S-04. The Wickerhamomyces anomalus strain CLI 1028 was selected in pure culture for brewing beer with a low ethanol content (1.25% (v/v)) for its fruity and phenolic flavours and the absence of wort flavours. The best-evaluated strains in sequential fermentation were CLI 3 (Hanseniaspora vineae) and CLI 457 (Metschnikowia pulcherrima), due to their fruity notes as well as their superior bitterness, body, and balance. Volatile compounds and melatonin production were analysed by GC and HPLC, respectively. The beers were sensory-analysed by a trained panel. The results of the study show the potential of non-Saccharomyces strains in the production of low-alcohol beers, and as a flavour enhancement in sequential fermentation.
