The present invention relates to the use of transporters to modulate production of flavor and metabolically related compounds by yeast. More specifically, it related to the use of transporters of the ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter family, the oligopeptide transporter (OPT) superfamily or the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) to increase or decrease secondary metabolites linked to the isoleucine / valine pathway, such as, but not limited to α-acetolactate, diacetyl, pentanedione, iso-butyl alcohol, iso-amyl alcohol and isoamyl acetate. |
