The principal flavour metabolites found in
alcoholic beverages particularly beer are aliphatic
alcohols, aldehydes, organic and fatty acids and
esters of alcohols and fatty acids. These are formed as
by-products of the metabolism of sugars and amino
acids (Briggs et al., 2004). In this work, 4 esters, 3
aldehydes, 2 fatty acids, 3 alcohols and a diacetyl
were identified during the fermentation process. The
flavor volatile compounds identified in this work are
presented in Table 2.
