  • METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR REDUCING SMOKE TAINT IN FERMENTED BEVERAGES
    Publication number: 20240409860
    Abstract: Provided herein are genetically modified yeast cells that recombinantly express a glycosidase enzyme. Provided herein are genetically modified yeast cells that recombinantly express a glycosidase enzyme and/or an O-methyltransferase enzyme. Also provided are methods of producing fermented beverages and compositions comprising ethanol using the genetically modified yeast cells described herein.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 7, 2022
    Publication date: December 12, 2024
    Applicant: Berkeley Fermentation Science Inc.
    Inventors: Rachel Li, Nicholas Harris, Charles Denby, Jeremy Roop, Daniel Liu, Francis Cunningham
  • METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR GAMMA-DECALACTONE BIOSYNTHESIS IN FERMENTED BEVERAGES
    Publication number: 20240400953
    Abstract: Provided herein are genetically modified yeast cells that recombinantly express a gene encoding a fatty acid hydroxylase (FAH) enzyme, such as an oleate 12-hydroylase, and produce y-decalactone levels above an odor-threshold. Also provided herein are genetically modified yeast cells that recombinantly express genes encoding a fatty acid hydroxylase (FAH) enzyme, and one or more additional genes, such as an acyl-CoA desaturase 1 (OLE1) enzyme, a deregulated transcription factor, and/or an alcohol-O-acyltransferase (AAT) enzyme. Also provided are methods of producing fermented beverages and compositions comprising ethanol using the genetically modified yeast cells described herein.
