Activity of Lipase during Mashing

A Review on the Source of Lipids and Their Interactions during Beer Fermentation that Affect Beer Quality

“…Unlike puroindoline and hordoindoline, Protein Z and LTP1 proteins are capable of tolerating the brewing processes high temperatures maintaining some of their binding activity. The LTP1 proteins, such as glycosylation, often experience alteration during the brewing process as a consequence of their exposure to the resultant elevated temperatures [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60]. Post-translational modification of LTP1 proteins, occur due to the action of a lipid-like adduct covalently bound to it, leads to the formation of LTP1b proteins [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60].…”

For example, the production of a hydroperoxide, by the oxygenation of linoleic acid resulted in the subsequent dehydration of this molecule to form α-ketol adduct (9-hydroxy-10-oxo-12(Z)-octadecenoic acid) [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59]…”

“…LTP1 proteins are also associated with multiple biological functions such as lipid transfer between lipid bilayers, seed development and pathogen control [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60]. Multiple authors speculate that the unique lipid binding affinity of LTP1 proteins, shields the extracellular membrane of grains repelling damaging microbes [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60]. This highlights further the importance of LTP1 proteins to the brewing industry as the synergistic interactions of such proteins and lipids significantly alter the food and beverage production processes, because of alterations in grain composition, brought about through environmental and or genetic factors.…”

“…This highlights further the importance of LTP1 proteins to the brewing industry as the synergistic interactions of such proteins and lipids significantly alter the food and beverage production processes, because of alterations in grain composition, brought about through environmental and or genetic factors. For example, LTP1 has been shown to have inhibitory effects on the common lager brewing yeast, Saccharomyces pastorianus and the ale brewing yeast, S. cerevisiae, as well as some fungal pathogens occurring in the field, which can be detrimental to the malting and fermentation stages of beer brewing [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61].…”

“…LTP1 proteins account for 5-10% of all soluble proteins in grains and are found in wheat and barley grains used for malting. Consequently, highlighting the necessity to optimise traditional beer purification methods for barley LTP1 and LTP1b proteins [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61].…”
