carried
out a preliminary study on the use of T. delbrueckii strains in the
production of “wheat” style beers. These authors found that this
species was able to consume maltose more slowly than S. cerevisiae
commercial starter strain, giving more intensity and complexity to
the product. In the present study, after a preliminary screening, we
evaluated the use of a selected strain of T. delbrueckii in wort
fermentation in pure and mixed cultures. The influence on the
analytical and aromatic profile of beer, as well as the potential of
producing a low-alcohol beer with T. delbrueckii was evaluated.
