![Sulfur fraction Sulfur fraction](https://connect.lallemandbrewing.com/wp-content/themes/lallemand/assets/images/aromazyme/oil-categories-sulfur.png)
Some oils from the oxygenated fraction are odorless because they are bound to other molecules.
Releasing these molecules can boost the aroma.

BOOSTING AROMAS withHOP BIOTRANSFORMATION
![Hop image Hop image](https://connect.lallemandbrewing.com/wp-content/themes/lallemand/assets/images/aromazyme/boost-aromas-with-text.png)
Hops contain aroma compounds that are bound to non-volatile conjugates.
Yeast-derived enzymes can cleave the conjugate to release these compounds and boost hop flavor and aroma.
Yeast facilitates Hop Biotransformation and optimizes flavor and aroma from less aromatic hop varieties.
![Glycoside molecule Glycoside molecule](https://connect.lallemandbrewing.com/wp-content/themes/lallemand/assets/images/aromazyme/hop-glycosides.png)
What are hop glycosides?
A glycoside is a compound that is chemically bound to a sugar molecule. In hops, aroma compounds such as terpenes are bound to sugars as glycosides in the green matter of the hop. Terpene glycosides play a role in hop biotransformation.
Yeast’s role in beer aroma

Yeast also naturally produces β-glucosidase enzymes, turning non-aromatic glycosides into aromatic terpenes.

Can exogenous β-glucosidase enzymes boost biotransformation?
Lallemand conducted global trials using an enzyme formulation based on β-glucosidase and compared the results to a control beer.
