Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will explore the remarkable contributions of yeasts to the art and science of beverage fermentation including traditional and industrial processes. Ecological and metabolic aspects, yeast diversity and their dynamic interactions within fermentation environments will be explored. Studies on molecular mechanisms, including genetic and enzymatic pathways, will also be highlighted, emphasizing their role in driving key biochemical transformations. Research on flavor and aroma development will demonstrate how yeast activity influences the sensory qualities of beverages. Furthermore, contributions addressing sustainability and innovation in fermentation processes will provide valuable insights into how yeast can support environmentally conscious practices. By bringing together diverse scientific perspectives, this Special Issue aims to celebrate yeasts’ essential role in both traditional and modern beverage production, offering a rich resource for researchers, producers, and enthusiasts alike.
