THE INFLUENCE OFHAFNIA PROTEA (OBESUMBACTERIUM PROTEUS)ON BEER FLAVOUR

Abstract: Numerous strains of Hafnia protea (originally Obesumbacterium proteus) were grown in brewer's wort in the absence and presence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The presence of H. protea gave rise to increased levels of n‐propanol, isobutanol, isopentanol, dimethyl sulphide, dimethyl disulphide and 2,3‐butanediol in finished beer. Concentrations of dimethyl sulphide and dimethyl disulphide varied according to the bacterial strains, but the increased levels of fusel alcohols and 2,3‐butanediol were strain‐independen… Show more

“…Production of DMS imparts an undesirable parsnip flavour to the contaminated beer (Case, 1965;Priest & Hough, 1974). Obesumbacterium pro teus in the initial stages of fermentation competes with yeast for nutrients, resulting a slower rate of fermentation and production of volatile components such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), acetoin, lactic acid, propanol, isobutanol and 2,3-butandiaol.…”

“…Enterobacteriaceae are a family of Gram‐negative, rod‐shaped facultative anaerobic bacteria that typically include Citrobacter , Enterobacter , Escherichia , Klebsiella , Salmonella , Serratia and Shigella species . However, only a small number of Enterobacteriaceae species are occasionally associated with the brewing industry, such as Obesumbacterium proteus , Rahnella aquatilis and Citrobacter freundii . The presence of O .…”

“…proteus in beer was first described by Lindner as Termobacterium lutescens ; it has been renamed several times , and this microorganism has recently been renamed as Shimwellia pseudoproteus . This bacteria has the ability to spoil beer and wort by producing acetoin, lactic acid, propanol, DMS, isobutanol and 2,3‐butandiaol . Contamination of this bacterium is generally found in pitching yeasts and may only create a significant effect in the first 24 h of fermentation until the pH drops below pH 4.5 .…”
