Metabolization of the glycation compounds 3-deoxyglucosone and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural by Saccharomyces yeasts

The Maillard reaction products (MRPs) 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), which are formed during the thermal processing and storage of food, come into contact with technologically used yeasts during the fermentation of beer and wine. In order for the yeast cells to work efficiently, handling of the stress-inducing carbonyl compounds is essential. In the present study, the utilization of 3-DG and HMF by 13 Saccharomyces yeast strains (7 brewer’s yeast strains, 1 wine yeast strain, 6 yeast strains isolated from natural habitats) was investigated. All yeast strains studied were able to metabolize 3-DG and HMF. 3-DG is mainly reduced to 3-deoxyfructose (3-DF) and HMF is completely converted to 2,5-bishydroxymethylfuran (BHMF) and 5-formyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (FFCA). The ratio of conversion of HMF to BHMF and FFCA was found to be yeast strain-specific and no differences in the HMF stress tolerance of the yeast strains and species were observed. After incubation with 3-DG, varying amounts of intra- and extracellular 3-DF were found, pointing to a faster transport of 3-DG into the cells in the case of brewer’s yeast strains. Furthermore, the brewer’s yeast strains showed a significantly higher 3-DG stress resistance than the investigated yeast strains isolated from natural habitats. Thus, it can be shown for the first time that Saccharomyces yeast strains differ in their interaction of 3-DG induced carbonyl stress.
