Variation And Genetic Control Of Foam-Positive

Introduction
Beer foam quality is one of the critical characteristics that a
consumer will use to determinethe quality of dispensed beer.
Brewers are particularly interested in optimising foam quality
because it will impact upon customers purchase decisions.
Beer foam quality is a combination of its stability, quantity,
lacing (adhesion or cling), whiteness, 'creaminess', density,
viscosity and strength (Bamforth, 1985). Brewers current
strategies for improving foam stability are to specify malt
with relatively low Kolbach indices (KI, soluble/total protein)
and supplement the beer produced with PGA (propylene glycol alginate),
use foam generating "widgets" or use chemically hydrogenated
hop extracts (i.e. “Tetra” hop). All these strategies are relatively
costly and will impart visual or flavour effects on the beer that may not be desirable. Naturally occurring foam promotants in beer include
proteins (>5kDa), isohumulone, metal cations, low levels of ethanol (<3%)
and gums (presumably ß-glucans and arabinoxylans) while lipids and
high levels of ethanol are foam inhibiting (Bamforth, 1985).
Foam-positive proteins can be divided into two
fractions based on molecular weight, 1. high molecular weight
(HMW, 35-50 kDa); 2. low molecular weight (LMW, 5-17 kDa).
Both fractions originate primarily from malt (Asano &
Hashimoto, 1980), with the HMW fraction containing mainly
protein Z (Kaersgaard, P. & Hejgaard, 1979), and the LMW fraction
containing LTP1 (lipid transfer protein 1) and a
mixture of hordein and glutelin fragments (Sorensen et al., 1993,
Sheehan & Skerritt, 1997, Vaag et al., 1999).
Protein Z may be further sub-divided into the protein Z4 and
protein Z7 forms which are highly related and expressed from
one or more genes on chromosomes 4H and 5H, respectively.
In barley and malt, protein Z4 is the dominant isoform
accounting for approximately 80 % of all protein Z.
Evans et al., (1998, 1999) applied quantitative enzymelinked immunosorbent as
says (ELISA) to measure the quantity of protein Z4, protein Z7 and LTP1 in malt.
In small and pilot scale brewing trials, the level of protein Z4 was
significantly and positively correlated to foam stability as measured by
the Rudin head retention time test (Bishop et al., 1975). It follows that
if foam quality could be predicted by measurement of foam-positive proteins
in barley and malt it would be possible to deliver malt to both domestic
and international brewers that produce beer with high quality foam heads.
In this study, the quantity of protein Z4, protein Z7 and LTP1 were assessed
in malt from a selection of Australian and international malting varieties.
The genetic basis for the level of protein Z4 and Z7 were established by
QTL analysis in two mapping populations.
