What does THIS research say?
In this study, scientists shared how they made some changes by isolating a gene that gives wine or beer flavor. Scientists claim that by altering this gene, bitter-tasting beer and other spirits can also be made sweeter. This change will lead to a new revolution in the beer and wine industry. For this reason, many new products can also come onto the market.
This makes beer tasteless
Research has found that beer is made by growing yeast with water, grain, and other ingredients. Large containers are used for this. A large amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is produced during fermentation. This creates pressure in the closed container, which makes the beer taste less. However, this will no longer be the case. To improve the taste of beer, a team of scientists has discovered a gene that revives its flavor during the beer-making process.
Genes that preserve flavor under pressure
The research team analyzed additional genes in different yeasts to see which genes retain flavor even under the pressure of the container. dr Johan Thevelin, who leads the research team, said that we focused most on the banana flavor gene because it gives the first touch to most beers and wines. They found a single gene called MDS3 that helped create that taste. Modifications to it then began using CRISPT/Cas9 gene editing technology. Much has been done to enhance the flavor of beer with the help of mutations.
