Significance of yeast strain for beer quality.Peer-reviewed article

O. BENDOVÁ, J. VERNEROVÁ

A significance of brewing yeast properties and differences among strains are discussed in the article. The characteristics of the technologic properties that are significant for the beer production as well as the results of the evaluation of a production of metabolic by-products (higher alcohols) that affect the sensoric characteristics of beer are discussed. At the end the most progressive way in the research of brewing yeasts focused on strain preparations with specific properties using genetic manipulations are described.
