Assignee: DANSTAR FERMENT AG
Field: Biotechnology (Chemistry)
Classification: CPC C  Y | IPC C

Claim 8:
9. A process for making a fermented beverage from a fermentable medium comprising fermentable carbohydrates and a non-volatile conjugate of formula (I):

VFC—SM   (I)

where: VFC is a flavor compound that is volatile when released from the non-volatile conjugate,
SM is a sugar molecule, and
“—” is a β-glycosidic linkage covalently attaching the VFC to the SM, and capable of being hydrolyzed;, the process comprising contacting the recombinant yeast host cell of claim 1 with the fermentable medium under conditions to allow the hydrolysis of the β-glycosidic linkages during and/or after the conversion of at least some of the fermentable carbohydrates into ethanol by the recombinant yeast host cell; wherein:
the fermentable medium comprises the non-volatile conjugate prior to the addition of the recombinant yeast host cell or composition; and/or
the fermentable medium is supplemented with the non-volatile conjugate at the same time or after the addition of the recombinant yeast host cell or composition.
