Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of producing a fermented malt-based liquid obtained by using a malt saccharified product as a fermentation raw material and having a low ethanol concentration and a pineapple-like fruity flavor, and a method of producing a beverage containing the fermented liquid produced by the production method as a raw material.
- the various flavor components produced during fermentation depend on the kind of yeasts used in the fermentation.

In the following experiments, the concentration of ethanol in a fermented malt-based liquid or a fermented malt beverage was measured by the following method unless otherwise specified.
A solution obtained by diluting a sample with distilled water such that the concentration of ethanol reached 0.5 to 2.0% (vol/vol) was measured by a multifunctional biosensor (BF-5, manufactured by Oji Scientific Instruments Co., Ltd.). The value obtained by multiplying the obtained measured value by the dilution rate was set as the concentration (% (vol/vol)) of ethanol in the sample.
In the following experiments, the concentrations of isobutanol, isoamyl acetate, and β-phenethyl acetate in the fermentation raw material liquid, the fermented malt-based liquid, or the fermented malt beverage were quantified by performing extraction with carbon disulfide and analyzing the extracts with FID-GC (hydrogen flame ionization detector-gas chromatography) using hexyl alcohol and hexyl acetate as internal standards, unless otherwise specified.
Specifically, first, 30 g of the sample was collected in a container, 6 g of ammonium sulfate and 3 mL of carbon disulfide were added thereto, 150 μL of a mixed solution containing 500 mg/L of hexyl alcohol and 20 mg/L of hexyl acetate was added thereto as an internal standard substance, and the resulting solution was extracted by shaking extraction for 10 minutes. Thereafter, the centrifugal separation treatment was performed at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes so that the solvent layer was recovered. The recovered solvent layer was used as an analysis sample and subjected to GC analysis.
In the following experiments, the concentration of isoamyl propionate in the fermentation raw material liquid, the fermented malt-based liquid, or the fermented malt beverage was analyzed using GCMS-TQ8040NX (Shimadzu Corporation) unless otherwise specified.
Specifically, first, 5 mL of a sample was collected in a container and incubated at 60°C for 15 minutes, and the gas phase was adsorbed at 60°C for 30 minutes using SPME Arrow (1.10 mm/Divinyl benzene/Carbon WR/PDMS) (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation). The sample was splitlessly injected at an injection temperature of 250°C, and a DB-WAX column (60 m × 0.250 mm × 0.25 μm, manufactured by Agilent Technologies, Inc.) was used for separation. The oven temperature was programmed to rise from 40°C (held for 3 minutes) to 230°C at a rate of 5°C/min and to be held for 15 minutes after reaching 230°C. The concentration of components in the analysis sample was quantified from the calibration curve created according to the absolute calibration curve method, that is also known as the external standard method (”Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis”, Basic Gas Chromatography, Second Edition’, by McNair and Miller,2009, p.129-144.), after the measurement in an MRM mode (m/z75 > 57). The numerical value indicates a value rounded off to the first decimal place. The concentration of isoamyl propionate per Brix was calculated by dividing the obtained numerical value by the Brix of the fermentation raw material liquid.
In the following experiments, the Brix of the fermentation raw material liquid, the fermented malt-based liquid, or the fermented malt beverage was measured using a digital refractometer (RX-5000α, manufactured by Atago Co., Ltd.) unless otherwise specified.
In the following experiments, the pH of the fermentation raw material liquid, the fermented malt-based liquid, or the fermented malt beverage was measured using a pH-measuring device (LAQUAtwin-pH-33, manufactured by Horiba, Ltd.) unless otherwise specified.
Wort A was produced using a 200 L scale charging facility. First, 40 kg of ground malt and starch auxiliary raw materials serving as fermentation raw materials and 160 L of raw material water were put into a charging tank. Next, the mixture in the charging tank was heated and saccharified according to a method known in the art, and the obtained saccharified solution was filtered. Hops were added to the obtained filtrate, and the filtrate was boiled. The boiled filtrate was transferred to a settling tank to separate and remove the precipitate, and the resultant was cooled, thereby obtaining wort A. The analysis values of the obtained wort A are as listed in Table 1.
The commercially available malt extracts listed in Table 2 were diluted with water such that the Brix reached 12.8% and mixed to obtain each of wort B and wort C.
As the yeasts of the genus Cyberlindnera, 7 strains of Cyberlindnera jadinii (NBRC987 strain (type strain), NBRC619 strain, NBRC1086 strain, NBRC10707 strain, NBRC10708 strain, NBRC112339 strain, and NCYC193 strain), 4 strains of Cyberlindnera mrakii (NBRC897 strain (type strain), NBRC895 strain, NBRC896 strain, and NCYC2328 strain), 4 strains of Cyberlindnera fabianii (NBRC1370 strain (type strain), NBRC1253 strain, NBRC1254 strain, and NCYC2662), 5 strains of Cyberlindnera saturnus (NBRC10697 strain (type strain), NBRC810 strain, NBRC941 strain, NBRC11021 strain, and NBRC100360 strain), and 3 strains of Cyberlindnera subsufficiens (NBRC1466 strain (type strain), NBRC1467 strain, and NCYC2314 strain) were used. For comparison, Pichia kluyveri NBRC1165 strain (type strain), Torulaspora delbrueckii NBRC1083 strain, Saccharomycodes ludwigii NBRC798 strain (type strain), Saccharomyces pastorianus NBRC11024 strain (type strain), Saccharomyces cerevisiae NBRC104081 strain (type strain), and Frootzen were used.
The wort A was used as the fermentation raw material liquid. First, each yeast cultured overnight in wort A was diluted with water such that the Brix reached 5% and washed once with water and added to each of 100 mL wort A (Brix of 12.8%) placed in a 500 mL Erlenmeyer flask with a baffle such that the number of yeasts reached 2.0 × 105 per 1 mL of wort. Next, the wort inoculated with the yeasts was aerated and stirred at an incubator rotation speed of 160 rpm at 20°C, and fermented until the concentration of the yeasts reached OD660 of 4.0 to 6.5. Thereafter, the concentration of ethanol and the concentration of various flavor components in the obtained fermented liquid were quantified. The results thereof are listed in Table 3. In the table, “Cj” represents Cyberlindnera jadinii, “Cm” represents Cyberlindnera Mrakii, “Cf” represents Cyberlindnera fabianii, “Csa” represents Cyberlindnera saturnus, “Csu” represents Cyberlindnera subsufficiens, “Pk” represents Pichia kluyveri, “Tb” represents Torulaspora delbrueckii, “Sl” represents Saccharomycodes ludwigii, “Sp” represents Saccharomyces pastorianus, and “Sc” represents Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In addition, “isoamyl propionate/Brix” indicates the concentration of isoamyl propionate in the fermented liquid per Brix.
The sensory evaluation was carried out by 5 skilled panelists using a liquid obtained by diluting each fermented liquid to 2.56 times as an evaluation sample based on the semantic differential (SD) method (Frey, The SAGE Encyclopedia of Educational Research, Measurement, and Evaluation, "Semantic Differential Scaling" , 2018, p. 1504-1507) of 1 to 7 points. The evaluation items are (a) intensity of wort odor (index of fermentation degree), (b) pineapple-like flavor, (c) fruity flavor, (d) intensity of miscellaneous odor, and (e) deliciousness. The items (a) to (d) were evaluated based on the flavor, and the item (e) was evaluated based on the taste. The amount of each evaluation sample was set to 20 mL, and the order of evaluation was randomized so as to differ depending on the panelists.
In regard to the items (b) to (e), scoring was performed using Pichia kluyveri as a control (4 points). In regard to the item (d) miscellaneous odor, an odor of stuffy socks after wearing, wine flavor, wort odor, and thinner odor were evaluated, and it was evaluated that miscellaneous odor was present in a case where the intensity of any of these odors was higher than that of the control.
The wort B or wort C was used as the fermentation raw material liquid. First, each yeast cultured overnight in wort A was diluted with water such that the Brix reached 5% and was washed once with water and added to 100 mL wort B or wort C (Brix of 12.8%) placed in a 500 mL Erlenmeyer flask with a baffle such that the number of yeasts reached 2.0 × 105 per 1 mL of wort. Next, the wort inoculated with the yeasts was aerated and stirred at an incubator rotation speed of 160 rpm at 20°C and fermented until the number of yeasts reached 1.0 to 2.5 × 108 per 1 mL of wort. Thereafter, the concentration of ethanol and the concentration of various flavor components in the obtained fermented liquid were quantified. The results thereof are listed in Table 5.
Each of the obtained fermented liquids was subjected to sensory evaluation in the same manner as in Example 1. However, in regard to the item (a), water was used for 1 point and the wort B or the wort C was used for 7 points as a sample.
The evaluation results are listed in Table 6. As a result, it was clarified that the fermented liquid for which the yeasts of the genus Cyberlindnera were used had a strong pineapple-like flavor and a low intensity of miscellaneous odor as compared with the comparative control (Table 6). The significance test between the control and the evaluation sample was carried out using the Mann-Whitney U test.
As the fermentation raw material liquid, a malt extract “MALT extract (Non-diastatic)” (manufactured by Coopers) listed in Table 2 was used by being diluted with water such that the Brix reached 10% or 20%. Each yeast cultured overnight in wort A was diluted with water such that the Brix reached 5% and was washed once with water and added to 100 mL of the fermentation raw material liquid (Brix of 10% or 20%) placed in a 500 mL Erlenmeyer flask with a baffle such that the number of yeasts reached 2.0 × 105 per 1 mL of wort.

Next, the fermentation was carried out by adding the yeasts to the fermentation tank such that the number of yeasts reached 2.0 × 105 per 1 mL of the wort. During the fermentation, the liquid was allowed to flow from a sampling valve port of the fermentation tank to an aeration line using a pump, passed through a dissolved oxygen meter from a static mixer, and returned to the bottom of the tank for circulation. While the amount of dissolved oxygen was monitored so as not to cause oxygen deficiency during yeast growth, aeration was performed intermittently such that the concentration of dissolved oxygen reached 1 ppm or greater. The fermentation was ended before and after the number of yeasts reached 2.0 × 107 per 1 mL of the fermented liquid. After the end of the fermentation, the fermented liquid contained less than 0.05% (vol/vol) of ethanol per Brix of 12.8% and had a pineapple-like fruitiness and a refreshing feeling with little miscellaneous odor.
Each yeast cultured overnight in the wort A was diluted with water such that the Brix reached 5% and was washed once with water and added to 170 mL wort A (Brix of 12.8%) placed in a 200 mL Erlenmeyer flask with a baffle such that the number of yeasts reached 2.0 × 107 per 1 mL of wort, and standing fermentation was carried out at 20°C for 3 days.
