| abstract |
The invention relates to a process for the production of alcoholic beverages such as beer or whiskey with a mixture of enzymes comprising an endo-beta(1,4)-xylanase, an arabinofuranosidase, an alpha-amylase, an endo-protease and a beta-(1,3, 1,4)-glucanase, and optionally, a saccharifying amylase and/or an exopeptidase. Preferable are mixtures in which the enzymes which are necessary in the brewing process are provided by transgenic seeds. Only a minor amount of malt may be necessary for flavor and color. |
