- Abstract
Alcoholic fermentation is a set of biochemical transformations in which, certain yeast strains are responsible for transforming the carbohydrates present in wort to a liquid containing alcohol and carbon dioxide. Therefore, the processing of wort is a high-impact process, in which proteases play a vital role, because their hydrolytic activity enriches worts in amino acids and peptides, essential to fermentation. The role of these biomolecules is well known, but there are still fundamental questions about the variation of the content and type of these proteins. In this study, we analyzed the protease activity of two malts using zymograms and we found differences in the profile and level of activity of proteases sensitives to E64 plus PMSF inhibition.
