RESUMO
Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus (S. diastaticus) is a major spoilage yeast in brewing. In the present research, the antifungal properties of nerol and the proteome response of S. diastaticus were studied. Results showed nerol can inhibit cell budding and delay yeast fermentation in a dose-depended manner. After 3 d of treatment with 0.25 mg·mL-1 nerol, intracellular ROS levels increased 1.66-fold (P < 0.01), and the cells with damaged membrane increased to 23.2 %. Quantitative proteomic profiles utilizing a capillary-HPLC-MS/MS technology revealed that proteins involved in the metabolism of fermentable sugars were up-regulated in S. diastaticus cells treated with nerol, indicating nerol treatment altered the metabolite pattern of fermentable sugars. Proteins associated with the cell membrane biogenesis, heat shock proteins, amino acid biosynthesis, and glutathione metabolism were similarly up-regulated. These findings revealed the mechanism of nerol-induced yeast cell damage as well as the detoxification response of yeast cells.

Humulus lupulus L. is an essential source of aroma compounds, hop bitter acids, and xanthohumol derivatives mainly exploited as flavourings in beer brewing and with demonstrated potential for the treatment of certain diseases. To acquire a comprehensive understanding of the biosynthesis of these compounds, the primary enzymes involved in the three major pathways of hops' phytochemical composition are herein critically summarized. Hops' phytochemical components impart bitterness, aroma, and antioxidant activity to beers. The biosynthesis pathways have been extensively studied and enzymes play essential roles in the processes. Here, we introduced the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of hop bitter acids, monoterpenes and xanthohumol derivatives, including the branched-chain aminotransferase (BCAT), branched-chain keto-acid dehydrogenase (BCKDH), carboxyl CoA ligase (CCL), valerophenone synthase (VPS), prenyltransferase (PT), 1-deoxyxylulose-5-phosphate synthase (DXS), 4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate reductase (HDR), Geranyl diphosphate synthase (GPPS), monoterpene synthase enzymes (MTS), cinnamate 4-hydroxylase (C4H), chalcone synthase (CHS_H1), chalcone isomerase (CHI)-like proteins (CHIL), and O-methyltransferase (OMT1). Furthermore, research advancements of each enzyme in terms of reaction conditions, substrate recognition, enzyme structures, and use in engineered microbes are described in depth. Hence, an extensive review of the key enzymes involved in the phytochemical compounds of hops will provide fundamentals for their applications in beer production.
