Publication number: 20190078042Abstract: According to the invention, there is provided null-LOX-1 barley and plant products produced thereof, such as malt manufactured by using barley kernels defective in synthesis of the fatty acid-converting enzyme lipoxygenase-1. Said enzyme accounts for the principal activity related to conversion of linoleic acid into 9-hydroperoxy octadecadienoic acid, a lipoxygenase pathway metabolite, which—through further enzymatic or spontaneous reactions—may lead to the appearance of trans-2-nonenal. The invention enables brewers to produce a beer devoid of detectable trans-2-nonenal-specific off-flavors, even after prolonged storage of the beverage.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2018Publication date: March 14, 2019Applicant: CARLSBERG A/SInventors: Klaus BREDDAM, Ole OLSEN, Birgitte SKADHAUGE, Finn LOK, Soren KNUDSEN, Lene Molskov BECH

Patent number: 9834760Abstract: According to the invention, there is provided barley-derived beverages characterized by notably reduced levels of both dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and/or its precursor S-methyl-L-methionine (SMM), or lacking said compounds. In addition, the invention relates to methods for producing the above-mentioned beverages—and also to barley plants useful in the preparation of such beverages, as well as other plant products prepared from said plants. Utilization of the invention clears the way for making improved production procedures of beverages with improved taste profiles, and promises also for notable reductions in the thermal energy input for production of beer.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2009Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignees: CARLSBERG BREWERIES A/S, HEINEKEN SUPPLY CHAIN B.V.Inventors: Søren Knudsen, Gustav Hambraeus, Lene Molskov Bech, Steen Bech Sørensen, Birgitte Skadhauge, Klaus Breddam, Ole Olsen

Publication number: 20170183611Abstract: Barley based beverages are produced in large quantities, employing highly energy consuming methods, for example in the malting and brewhouse facilities for kiln drying and wort boiling operations, respectively. The present invention relates to energy saving methods for preparing barley based beverages, as well as to barley plants useful in such methods. In particular, the invention describes barley plants with combined traits of null-lipoxygenase-1 (null-LOX-1), null-lipoxygenase-2 (null-LOX-2) and null-S-adenosylmethionine:methionine S-methyltransferase in one plant, which is particularly useful for energy saving methods to prepare barley based beverages, such as beer.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2017Publication date: June 29, 2017Applicants: Carlsberg Breweries A/S, Heineken Supply Chain B.V.Inventors: Søren Knudsen, Preben Riis, Birgitte Skadhauge, Lene Molskov Bech, Ole Olsen

Publication number: 20150118355Abstract: This invention relates to wort making for brewing and non alcoholic beverages. More particularly it relates to methods for preparing a wort comprising a high level of free amino acids employing use of various enzymes including different exogenous proteases, for example an endoprotease and an exopeptidase.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2013Publication date: April 30, 2015Inventors: Lone Baekgaard, Hans Peter Heldt-Hansen, Ole Olsen, Lene Molskov Bech

Publication number: 20110318469Abstract: According to the invention, there is provided barley with total loss of functional lipoxygenase (LOX)-1 and LOX-2 enzymes, and plant products produced thereof, such as malt manufactured by using barley kernels defective in the synthesis of the fatty acid-dioxygenating enzymes LOX-1 and LOX-2. Said enzymes account for the principal activities related to dioxygenation of linoleic acid into 9- and 13-hydroperoxy octadecadienoic acid, respectively. 9-Hydroperoxy octadecadienoic acid represents a LOX pathway metabolite, which—through further enzymatic or spontaneous reactions—may lead to the appearance of trans-2-nonenal (T2N). The invention enables brewers to produce a beer having insignificant levels of stale, T2N-specific off-flavors, even after prolonged storage of the beverage.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2009Publication date: December 29, 2011Applicants: Heineken Supply Chain B.V., Carlsberg Breweries A//SInventors: Birgitte Skadhauge, Finn Lok, Klaus Breddam, Ole Olsen, Lene Molskov Bech, Soren Knudsen
