Yeasts brewing classification

Fungi are microscopic nonphotosynthetic plants which include in their classification yeast and molds. Yeasts have a commercial value as they are used for fermentation operations in distilling and brewing. When anaerobic conditions exist, yeasts metabolize sugar, manufacturing alcohol from the synthesis of new cells. Alcohol... 

Brewers dried yeast is the dried, non-fermentative, non-extracted yeast of the botanical classification Saccharomyces resulting as a by-product from the brewing of beer and ale. The traded product must contain not less than 35% CP. It must be labelled according to its CP content IFN 7-05-527 Yeast brewers dehydrated. 

Classification of brewing yeasts and selection of suitable strains for brewing receive some treatment in Chapters 18 and 19.

Brewers yeast, which is usually dried (the fresh form spoils quickly), is the nonfermentative, nonextracted yeast of the botanical classification, Saccharomyces, derived as a byproduct from the brewing of beer and ale. It is used primarily as a rich supplemental source of the B vitamins and unidentified factors. It is also an excellent source of protein (it contains a minimum of 35% crude protein) of good quality. 

A metabolomic approach was also shown as a very useful one in the field of beer characterization, allowing a classification on the basis of different raw materials (malt), beer types, brewing sites, or even production times of the same brewery [47 9]. Beer is obtained from malted grains, hops, and yeast through a fermentation process other components (fruits, herbs, and spices) can then be added to produce a particular blend. Different fermentation processes distinguish the two principal t3 pes, namely ales and lagers, and alcohol-free beers are produced too.
