  • Publication number: 20090110769
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide fermented beverages that give no sweetness in aftertaste and which have less off-flavors by a technique that will not affect the principal taste and aroma characteristics and which is highly acceptable to consumers. To attain this object, the proportion of trisaccharides in the assimilable sugars in the fermentation raw material solution or fermenting solution is adjusted, such that the yet-to-be assimilated sugars which remain in the fermenting step will not consist mainly of trisaccharides. Specifically, fermentation is performed while the proportion of trisaccharides in assimilable sugars in the fermentation raw material solution is adjusted to be no more than 25 wt %.

  • Publication number: 20080032386
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a stabilized proline transporter Put4 obtained by gene mutation and a gene encoding the same, as well as a Saccharomyces yeast strain which is obtained by yeast transformation with the gene and is capable of efficiently using proline in a source material such as wort. The stabilized mutated proline transporter Put4 can be used to achieve efficient use of nitrogen sources such as poorly assimilable proline contained in source materials (e.g., wort) for alcohol beverages. Fermentation using yeast capable of taking up a wide variety and large amounts of nitrogen sources facilitates carbon source assimilation and allows improvement of productivity for alcohol beverages. Moreover, the use of poorly assimilable nitrogen sources leads to resource savings and enables environmentally friendly production of alcohol beverages.

  • Patent number: 5965444
    Abstract: A DNA construct wherein a DNA fragment which is recombinable in yeast chromosomal DNA is directly or indirectly linked at both ends of a DNA fragment which comprises a pair of R sensitive sequences oriented in the same direction and flaking both an R gene placed under the control of an inducible promoter and an expressible selective marker gene, which is a DNA construct designed with the R sensitive sequences non-symmetrically shortened, so that no functionable R sensitive sequence remains after the R sensitive sequence recombination has occurred by expression of the R gene and the selective marker has been removed. Since no functionable R sensitive sequence remains after removal of the selective marker, recombination does not occur again, and thus the same selective marker may be used for multiple insertions of foreign genes.
