Abstract excerpt
Diacetyl (2,3-butanedione) imparts an unpleasant "butterscotch-like" flavor to alcoholic beverages such as beer, and therefore its concentration needs to be reduced below the sensory threshold before packaging. We examined the mechanisms that lead to highly elevated diacetyl formation in petite mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae during beer fermentations. We present evidence that elevated diacetyl formation is...
