Here, we examined the effect of soy peptides(SPs) on the fermentation and growth of Yeast Bank Weihenstephan 34/70(W34/70), a bottom-fermenting yeast. We compared fermentation for SP with that for a free amino acid(FAA) mixture having the same amino acid composition as SP, as a nitrogen source. Maltose syrup was used as a carbon source, and the medium contained excess amounts of essential minerals and vitamins. We observed that SP was better than FAA mixture at promoting fermentation and growth and that much more β-phenylethyl alcohol was produced during fermentation with SP than with FAA mixture. Subsequently, we compared fermentations with the FAA mixture and selected mixtures containing various dipeptides of Phe as a nitrogen source. We found that the rates of Phe metabolism and β-phenylethyl alcohol generation were much higher when Phe was presented as a dipeptide(Phe-Asp, Phe-Leu, or Phe-Phe) than when presented as FAA. These results show that amino acids such as Phe are absorbed more rapidly when presented as a peptide than as FAA, resulting in a more rapid production of β-phenylethyl alcohol.
