맥주의 숙성기간을 단축시키기 위해 네 종류의 고정화용 담체를 활용한 고정화 효모 반응기를 시험하였다. 전발효가 끝난 Green Beer (GB)를 효모를 제거하고 열처리할 경우 처 리온도가 높을수록 전구체인 $\alpha$-acetolactate의 diacety 1로의 전 환율이 낮고 전환속도도 빨라 $70^{\circ}C$이상의 온도에서는 4분이면 충분하였다 GB 중의 산소농도는 전구체에서 DA로의 변환율에 매우 큰 영향을 끼쳤는데 그 농도가 낮을수록 전환율이 낮았으며 0.1 ppm 이하의 농도에서는 거의 대부분의 전 구체가 DA이외의 물칠로 전환되었다. 열처리한 전발효 맥주 를 HAN, G-2, FLO, GDC 담체 column에 $\alpha$, 체류시간 80-150분으로 통과시킬 경우 diacety I 농도를 상품 맥주의 품질로 적합한 0.1 ppm이하로 떨어뜨릴 수 있어서 시험한 담체 모두 맥주 숙성용 효모고정화용 답체로의 실용화 가능 성이 있었다. 이 때 세라믹 담체 column의 경우 GDC 담체 column에 비해 미발효된 잔당의 발효에 의한 새로운 DA 전 구체의 생성이 많았다. 위와 같은 방법으로 생산한 맥주를 공장에서 기존의 방법으로 생산한 맥주와 맛을 비교한 결과 미세한 차이가 있으나 불쾌한 느낌을 주는 이취등은 발견되지 않아 고정화 효모 반응기에 의한 고속 숙성공정의 현장적 용 가능성이 높음을 확인할 수 있었다.

The process of manufacturing craft beer involves a wide variety of spontaneous microorganisms, acting in different stages of the brewing process, that contribute to the distinctive characteristics of each style. The objective of this work was to compare the structure of microbial communities associated with two different craft beer styles (Doppelbock and Märzen lagers), at a late maturation stage, and to identify discriminative, or style-specific taxa. Bacterial and fungal microbial communities were analyzed by Illumina sequencing of 16S rRNA gene of prokaryotes and the ITS 2 spacer of fungi (eukaryotes). Fungal communities in maturating beer were dominated by the yeast Dekkera, and by lactic acid (Lactobacillus and Pediococcus) and acetic acid (Acetobacter) bacteria. The Doppelbock barrels presented more rich and diverse fungal communities. The Märzen barrels were more variable in terms of structure and composition of fungal and bacterial communities, with occurrence of exclusive taxa of fungi (Aspergillus sp.) and bacteria (L. kimchicus). Minority bacterial taxa, differently represented in the microbiome of each barrel, may underlie the variability between barrels and ultimately, the distinctive traits of each style. The composition of the microbial communities indicates that in addition to differences related to upstream stages of the brewing process, the contact with the wood barrels may contribute to the definition of style-specific microbiological traits.

In this study, the problems of high caloric content, increased maturation time, and off-flavors in commercial beer manufacture arising from residual sugar, diacetyl, and acetaldehyde levels were addressed. A recombinant industrial brewing yeast strain (TQ1) was generated from T1 [Lipomyces starkeyi dextranase gene (LSD1) introduced, ${\alpha}$-acetohydroxyacid synthase gene (ILV2) disrupted] by introducing Saccharomyces cerevisiae glucoamylase (SGA1) and a strong promoter (PGK1), while disrupting the gene coding alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH2). The highest glucoamylase activity for TQ1 was 93.26 U/ml compared with host strain T1 (12.36 U/ml) and wild-type industrial yeast strain YSF5 (10.39 U/ml), respectively. European Brewery Convention (EBC) tube fermentation tests comparing the fermentation broths of TQ1 with T1 and YSF5 showed that the real extracts were reduced by 15.79% and 22.47%; the main residual maltotriose concentrations were reduced by 13.75% and 18.82%; the caloric contents were reduced by 27.18 and 35.39 calories per 12 oz. Owing to the disruption of the ADH2 gene in TQ1, the off-flavor acetaldehyde concentrations in the fermentation broth were 9.43% and 13.28%, respectively, lower than that of T1 and YSF5. No heterologous DNA sequences or drug resistance genes were introduced into TQ1. Hence, the gene manipulations in this work properly solved the addressed problems in commercial beer manufacture.
