Influence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. uvarum on histamine and tyramine formation during beer fermentation

Data are provided on the effect of brewerʹs yeast on the formation of histamine and tyramine during beer fermentation in pilot plant. Biogenic amines were determined by spectrofluorometric methods. Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. uvarum, a bottom yeast, did not produce histamine or tyramine during fermentation. Yeast recycling did not influence biogenic amines formation.
