Use of red grape pulp, marc and must in the production of beer

Abstract

Abstract The aim of the paper was to determine the potential of using grape pulp, marc and must in the beer production process. Samples were fermented using non- Saccharomyces yeasts ( Dekkera bruxellensis 3429, Metschnikowia pulcherrima MG970690), while Saccharomyces cerevisiae Safale US-05 was used as a control. Grape marc was obtained by pressing grape must. The grape marc, must and pulp were pasteurized and, together with wort, volumetrically introduced into fermentation flasks for fermentation. Mass changes taking place during the process were analyzed. Real extract, alcohol content, free amino nitrogen (FAN) content, titratable acidity, pH, color, organic acid profile and content of sugars were determined in obtained beers. The addition of grape marc, must and pulp increased the valu
