Abstract
The free amino acids occurring in barley, malt, wort, beer and bottom yeast were detd. by paper partition chromatography. Among the 19 amino acids found was gamma-aminobutyric acid. Peptides have been found in malt, wort and yeast, but not in beer. During the first fermentation, asparagine, aspartic acid and threonine disappeared and a distinct decrease was observed in all basic amino acids and serine. After the 2d fermentation, the basic amino acids completely disappeared together with serine, leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine and tyrosine.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
