Ester formation during production of beer was much affected by the degree of the aeration of wort during fermentation.Thus, the quantification and control of ester formation could be related to the total amount of dissolved oxygen consumption (TDOC) by yeast, which was defined and measured by the authors in the previous report (S. MITSUI et al.: MBAA Tech. Quart., 28, 119 (1991)), as a new index for fermentation control.It was comfirmed that maximum ester formation was directly related to TDOC, and the optimum level of TDOC necessary to produce and optimum ester production could be determined.It was possible to prevent high ester formation quantitatively during high gravity brewing by controlling TDOC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
