Abstract

Successive application of Saccharomyces cerevisiae DSM 70424 and Saccharomyces rouxii DSM 2535 or DSM 2531 in the production of non-alcoholic beer was investigated. The aim of the study was to consider the impact of the 2 mentioned strains of S. rouxii on the reduction of alcohol content in wort fermented at 12 or $24^{\circ}C$ for 96 hr, applying periodic aeration. The 2 S. rouxii strains were added at the $48^{th}$ hr of fermentation after thermal inactivation of S. cerevisiae cells. The greatest alcohol decrease rate was observed for the treatment containing S. rouxii DSM 2535-fermented at $24^{\circ}C$ (from 1.56 to 0.36%). The concentration of acetaldehyde, diacetyl, and 2,3-pentandione, that have a key role in appearance of 'wort' and 'buttery' off flavors, were significantly lower in S. rouxii-containing treatments fermented at $24^{\circ}C$. S. rouxii-containing treatment fermented at $24^{\circ}C$ showed slightly lower overall flavor acceptability compared to S. cerevisiae-containing treatment fermented at the same temperature. Such score was improved for the products obtained at $12^{\circ}C$.
