Hydrogen sulphide in brewing. ii.

Takahashi, T. and others

Abstract
We studied further the periodic behaviour of H₂S peaks in connection with yeast cell cycle during growth. The results are as follows. (I) The hydrogen sulphide behaviour corresponded to each cell generation (each cell cycle) during synchronous yeast growth. i) Hydrogen sulphide always increased during cell maturation period in each cell cycle, i.e. the period between cytokinesis and the following bud initiation. ii) Hydrogen sulphide always decreased during budding period in each cell cycle. (II) The purging effect accompanying CO₂ evolution had to be considered also as a reason for the reduction of H₂S, especially after yeast growth ceased. Not vertified.
