Evidence in Lager Yeasts of β-Lyase Activity Breaking Down γ-GluCys-Conjugates More Efficiently Than Cys-Conjugates to Odorant Beer Polyfunctional Thiols by Romain Christiaens, Margaux Simon, Raphaël Robiette, Sonia Collin

“…The prevalence of glutathionylated (G-) precursors of polyfunctional thiols (PFTs) over their free forms has prompted investigating how to optimize the enzymatic breakdown of these precursors with yeast during lager, ale, and non-alcoholic/low-alcoholic beer (NABLAB) fermentation trials. Some <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> yeasts have been selected for their higher β-lyase activity on the cysteinylated (Cys-) conjugates (up to 0.54% for SafAle^TM K-97), yet some <i>S. pastorianus</i> strains and one maltose-negative <i>S. cerevisiae</i> var. …”
