The beer filtration process reduces the contents of antioxidant phenolic compounds and melanoidins and the AOX of wort. During the cooling stage, the spontaneous adsorption of phenolic compounds and melanoidins on wort dregs and the polymerization and precipitation of catechins and epicatechins lead to the decrease of TPC in beer (Ruiz- Ruiz, Del Carmen Esapadas Aldana, Cruz, & Segura-Campos, 2020). With the increase of diatomite consumption, a large concentration of iron ions is introduced, which decreases the DPPH scavenging rate, because transition ions such as iron and copper play an important cat alytic role in the Fenton reaction, producing hydroxyl free radicals with high activity and reducing the oxidation resistance of beer (Jurková et al., 2012; Pascoe, Ames, & Chandra, 2003). The addition of tannins has an obvious effect on the rate of scavenging of DPPH free radicals, indicating that the addition of tannins will help to chelate iron ions and reduce the effect of iron ions in diatomite on beer. The reducing power of beer can be improved by maintaining pH within the range 4.3–4.4 (Han, 2016). After cooling and filtration, 6% of selenium is lost from the level in raw materials, and the total loss of selenium over the whole process of beer fermentation is 94% (Rodrigo et al., 2015). It can be seen that the percentage selenium loss is quite high, which deserves attention.<ref name=yangao/> | The beer filtration process reduces the contents of antioxidant phenolic compounds and melanoidins and the AOX of wort.

Reducing Activity of Yeast. It is generally accepted that yeast metabolism can reduce aldehydes in the wort to their corresponding alcohols. The system responsible for this reduction has been found to be very complex and heterogeneous.149,154 Some aldehyde reductases regenerate NAD(P)+ from NAD(P)H and, therefore, maintain a suitable redox balance within the cell.154,193 Spiking of aldehydes to wort with subsequent laboratory-scale fermentation results in a lack of measurable aldehyde levels directly after fermentation and yeast removal. Moreover, the malt-like aroma disappears completely by this fermentation step. On the other hand, the corresponding alcohols and acetate esters showed to be present.153,165,193 Collin et al.155 suggested that the limiting step of carbonyl reduction is the uptake rate by the yeast, but this was countered by the findings of Debourg et al.,149 who worked with permeabilized yeast cells. Linear saturated aldehydes appear to be reduced more rapidly with increasing carbon number, and their reduction rate is higher than their corresponding branched or unsaturated aldehydes.149 Furfural and (E)-2-nonenal are reduced early in the fermentation process.63,115,194 Vesely et al.195 observed a clear decrease in, among others, 2-methylpropanal, 2-methylbutanal, 3-methylbutanal, furfural, and methional concentrations, at both 10 and 15 °C fermentations. Although the reduction rates were slightly higher at 15 °C, the resulting aldehyde concentrations were lower at 10 °C. Perpete et al. ̀ 182,193 reported an initially fast reduction of Strecker aldehydes in cold contact fermentation, which slowed and resulted after a few hours in a constant concentration. This end concentration is aldehyde-dependent, but can reach up to 40% of the initial concentration. Higher fermentation temperatures led to lower, but nonzero, end concentrations. Neither higher pitching rates nor different yeast strains or even a second pitching with fresh yeast affected the concentration of aldehydes at the end of fermentation. Similar results were obtained with laboratory-scale and industrial fermentation trials. This points to the interactions of the aldehydes with wort components rendering them nonreducible by the yeast, for example, imine formation and bisulfite adduct formation, but also, for example, weak binding to flavonoids at fermentation temperatures.153,182,193 As the free aldehydes are reduced by the yeast, the equilibrium between free and bound aldehydes restores the free form, yet this seems insufficient for complete aldehyde reduction.149 Aldehyde reduction by the yeast starts very early in the fermentation process, whereas sulfite production occurs at a later time.75 The protective effect of sulfite binding is, therefore, thought to be of rather limited importance.182 Yeast also reduces α-dicarbonyls, the intermediates of the Maillard reaction pathway and part of the Strecker degradation pathway. Addition of an isolated yeast reductase to beer with subsequent forced aging resulted in a lower concentration of dicarbonyl compounds.196 Overexpression of an involved reductase resulted in beers with 30−40% lower concentrations of Strecker aldehydes.197<ref name=baedec>Baert JJ, De Clippeleer J, Hughes PS, De Cooman L, Aerts G.

Although sufficient oxygen must be supplied to yeast to promote lipid synthesis and satisfactory fermentation, it has been demonstrated that oxygen can lower the viability of yeast, exerting its effect via superoxide or species derived from it (20). Upon exposure to oxygen, yeast responds by synthesizing SOD and catalase, enzymes that are suppressed under anaerobic conditions (20). As for all aerobic organisms, those enzymes are triggered to promote protection against radical damages. In the transition period necessary for the elaboration of these enzymes, yeast is susceptible to oxygen radicals, a problem that should be considered when designing systems for providing oxygen to yeast.<ref name=bammul>Bamforth CW, Muller RE, Walker MD.

Yeast produce membrane lipids only when grown aerobically. In the initial growth phase, proper oxygen management leads to proper production and storage of sterols in the yeast cell, which can be shared with subsequent daughter cells. It is possible to increase yeast ethanol tolerance by promoting synthesis of sterols, by adding oxygen (air) in the starter and during fermentation.

Yeast consume at least 100-140ppm FAN in wort. Since proline cannot be utilized, wort has to contain 200-220ppm FAN.

ern German-style wheat beer, otherwise known as weissbier, after the installation of new cylindroconical fermentors, it is common for the beers to exhibit a noticeable decline in the bouquet characteristic of the style, which consists of primarily of compounds like isoamyl acetate (banana ester)[2]. The reason behind this somewhat diminished weissbier aroma is, among others, the high rate of yeast reproduction, which reduces the amount of the acetyl-coenzyme A available for ester formation. In addition, the high hydrostatic pressure in vertical vessels moderates the production of higher alcohols, thus reducing the numbers of reactants for the formation of esters. In short, the higher the liquid level is in a fermentation tank, the stronger the convection and homogenization, which results in a reduction in the formation of esters (fig. 4).<ref name=sacher2>Sacher B, Becker T, Narziss L.

The estery notes in beer have been observed to become more pronounced as the ratio of glucose to maltose tips in favor of glucose.<ref name=sacher2/> Alcoholic fermentation with yeast in the presence of high concentrations of glucose leads to a delay in the onset of maltose metabolism after an initial rapid decline in the extract content of the wort (similar to a "second lag phase"). This explains the plateau in the extract curve. During this time, the yeast are scarcely reproducing and are compensating with the synthesis of maltose permease and maltase. The diminished yeast reproduction results in overflow of the acetyl-CoA pool and thus greater ester formation and fruitier beers. | The estery notes in beer have been observed to become more pronounced as the ratio of glucose to maltose tips in favor of glucose.<ref name=sacher2/> Alcoholic fermentation with yeast in the presence of high concentrations of glucose leads to a delay in the onset of maltose metabolism after an initial rapid decline in the extract content of the wort (similar to a "second lag phase").

Sterols and fatty acids are survival factors needed for the yeast cell membrane to function. As ethanol increases, hydrogen ions accumulate in cell requiring more energy to expel them. The pH decreases inside the cell causing cell death. Oxygen adds at end of growth phase increase sterol production.

N assimilation: The manner in which N is assimilated by yeast depends on the source. Organic N (amino acids) is actively transported into the yeast cell. Through additional reactions N is incorporated into glutamine and glutamate and eventually used in the synthesis of other amino acids and nitrogenous compounds. This process is gradual and efficient compared to inorganic sources. Ammonium nitrogen (inorganic N) is consumed quickly and is less beneficial. Amino acid mixtures vs single N sources are more efficient because the yeast directly incorporates the amino acids into proteins rather than having to synthesize them. Ammonia, which exists as ammonium (NH4+) ions in must, is used by yeasts prior to amino acids. The presence of NH4+ delays timing and uptake of amino acids by yeast. The timing of N supplements and form of supplement will impact fermentation and volatiles. Types of N supplements include Diammonium phosphate (DAP), proprietary blends of DAP and amino acids (e.g. Superfood®, Fermaid K®, Actiferm) and balanced nutritional formulas containing inorganic N (e.g. Fermaid O®), organic N, sterols, yeast cell walls, fatty acids, yeast | N assimilation: The manner in which N is assimilated by yeast depends on the source.
