Use of special yeast strains for fermentation of high-density honey wort.
Abstract
In the process of fermenting high-density honey wort, yeast strains are exposed to both the environment and ethanol produced during the fermentation process, which can lead to changes in their metabolism and an increase in the number of dead cells, resulting in a decrease in the quality of the beverage. The efficiency of honey beverage production can be improved by using yeast strains that are highly osmotolerant and alcohol-tolerant. These yeast strains can help create a unique flavor profile in the beverage by breaking down carbohydrates, organic acids, and other carbon-containing compounds. When used in specific conditions, specialized yeast outperforms beer or wine yeast in an environment with reduced amine nitrogen content, low pH, and increased ethanol levels, which is typical for high-density honey wort.
