RT journal article T1 Impact of the genetic improvement of fermenting yeasts on the organoleptic properties of beer A1 Astola González, Antonio A1 Durán Guerrero, Enrique A1 Díaz Sánchez, Ana Belén A1 Lasanta Melero, Cristina A1 Castro Mejías, Remedios A2 BiomedicinaBiotecnología y Salud Pública A2 Ingeniería Química y Tecnología de Alimentos A2 Química Analítica K1 Brewing K1 Fermentation K1 Beer K1 Hybridization K1 Molecular genetics K1 Yeast strain AB The brewing industry has experienced a significant boom in recent years through the emergence of, on the one hand, craft breweries that produce beers with unique organoleptic characteristics, and, on the other hand, the brewing of a significant number of beers using hybridized or genetically modified microorganisms with the aim of improving both the brewing processes and the final products. This review covers the influence from yeast strains on the organoleptic properties of the final beers and also the main hybridization and genetic modification methods applied to such yeast strains with the aim of improving the sensory characteristics of the product obtained and/or the brewing process. Different approaches to the phenotypic modification of the yeasts used in beer brewing have arisen in recent years. These are dealt with in this work, with special emphasis on the methodology followed as well as on the effects of the same on the brewing process and/or on the final product PB Springer SN 1438-2377 YR 2023 FD 2023-04-01 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10498/28923 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10498/28923 LA eng DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Cádiz RD 10-nov-2026
