Diacetyl : identification and characterisation of molecular mechanisms for reduction in yeast and their application in a novel enzyme based assay for quantification in fermentation systems

Diacetyl (2,3-butanedione) is an important flavour active, oxidative compound that has significant impact on cellular health as well as financial impact in industrial fermentations. The presence of diacetyl in certain fermented beverages, such as beer, results in an unpleasant butterscotch-like flav...
