Chemical and volatile composition of lychee wines fermented with four commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strains

This study evaluated the chemical and volatile composition of lychee wines fermented with four commercial yeast strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae: EC‐1118, R2, 71B and MERIT.ferm. Yeast cell population, pH, malic acid, ammonia and some amino acids had significant differences between strain 71B and other strains. There were strain variations with regard to degradation and retention of some juice volatiles as well as formation of new volatile compounds such as most esters and certain terpene compounds. Ethyl octanoate had the highest odour activity value (OAV of 500–1100), followed by ethyl hexanoate (about 50–85), among the common odorants in all lychee wines. Ethyl octanoate reached its highest OAV (1077) in the lychee wine fermented with strain EC1118, whereas ethyl hexanoate had the highest OAV (85) in the wine fermented with strain MERIT.ferm. Cis‐rose oxide, the character‐impact volatile in lychee juice with highest OAV (161), was dramatically reduced to trace levels after fermentation.     

Chemical affinities between the major volatile compounds present in a grape pomace distillate

BACKGROUND: The distillation of vinification by‐products to obtain alcoholic drinks is potentially an important source of income for the producing countries and avoids the environmental problem of waste management. Traditional technologies of distillation involve an important cost in terms of time and staff. Nowadays, companies install new distillation equipment, with high capacity and equipped with rectification columns, which is an important advance. Nevertheless, few studieshave been published concerning their correct management. In this study, the major volatile compounds were determined by gas chromatography in 61 samples of grape pomace distillate, corresponding to the fractions collected during seven complete distillation cycles. RESULTS: With a high degree of significance, the concentrations of 1,1‐diethoxyethane, propanol, hexanoate and ethyl acetate present positive correlations with the ethanol. However, those of benzyl alcohol, 2‐phenylethanol, furfurol, lactate, ethyl mirystate and diethyl succinate, were negative, which indicates that both groups of compounds were vented in the fractions of major or minor alcoholic degree, respectively. In addition, knowledge of the relationships between the volatile compounds contributes to improved management of an industrial distillation unit. CONCLUSION: The correlations established between the concentrations of the different volatile compounds indicate their physico‐chemical affinities or their biochemical origin.

Effects of wax coatings and postharvest storage on sensory quality and aroma volatile composition of ‘Mor’ mandarins

BACKGROUND: Mandarins suffer from accumulation of off‐flavours after harvest. In this study the sensory quality and aroma profile composition of homogenised segments of untreated (control) and wax‐coated ‘Mor’ mandarins after 7 days at 20 °C or 3 or 6 weeks of cold storage at 5 °C were examined. RESULTS: Fruit taste score decreased during storage and following wax coating, and this was attributed to decreases in sourness and mandarin flavour and accumulation of off‐flavours. Aroma profiling identified 31 volatiles that decreased by at least 50% during storage and after waxing and thus may be involved in the observed flavour loss. In contrast, 13 volatiles, mostly belonging to ethanol fermentation and fatty acid and amino acid catabolism pathways, significantly increased at least twofold and probably contributed to off‐flavour enhancement. CONCLUSION: The results showed that after harvest there was a progressive decrease in sensory quality of ‘Mor’ mandarins. It is proposed that observed decreases in contents of sesqui‐ and monoterpenes and short‐chain oxygenated fatty acids may contribute to the decrease in mandarin flavour, whereas increases in the contents of ethanol fermentation metabolites and derivates of fatty acid and amino acid catabolism are most likely involved in causing the enhanced sensation of off‐flavours.

The effects of grape must fermentation conditions on volatile alcohols and esters formed by Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Changes in aroma compounds synthesised from grape must during fermentation carried out by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in semi-aerobic, anaerobic, short aeration conditions and after adding ergosterol and oleic acid to the must were studied. The biosynthesis of these aroma compounds was strongly dependent on the fermentation conditions and on the growth of the yeast. Ethanol, isoamyl alcohols, isobutyl alcohol, phenethyl alcohol and isoamyl, butyl and hexyl acetates were produced in greater concentrations in semiaerobic conditions, mainly during cellular growth. 1-Butanol and 1-pentanol were produced in greater levels in anaerobic conditions, when cellular growth was lower. Ergosterol and oleic acid added to the musts generally increased the levels of the aroma compounds in wine compared to those obtained in anaerobic conditions. © 1997 SCI.     

Optimization of the vaporization of flavour components during wort boiling in the brewery by implementing a rectification column

Boiling the wort is an energy‐intensive step during beer production. The central objective of the process is the evaporation of unwanted flavour components, above all the flavour component dimethyl sulphide (DMS). To reduce the required overall evaporation, a recent development involves the insertion of a stripping column into the vapour discharge vent of the wort kettle in which the wort is directed from the kettle against the ascending vapour. The calculation by means of procedural fundamentals and the validation of the process in a large brewery are the subject matter of this article. Process improvement in comparison with conventional boiling systems is documented. Copyright © 2017 The Institute of Brewing & Distilling

Impact of two Williopsis yeast strains on the volatile composition of mango wine

The aim of the research was to study the volatile composition of mango wine fermented with two Williopsis yeast strains: Williopsis saturnus var. mrakii NCYC500 and W. staurnus var. suaveolens NCYC2586. Thirty terpenoids, twenty‐six esters, ten alcohols, nine acids, seven aldehydes and ketones, two ethers, two phenols and one sulphur compound were identified in the mango wine fermented with strain NCYC500, while twenty‐seven terpenoids, thirty esters, eleven alcohols, eight acids, eight aldehydes and ketones, three ethers, two phenols, one sulphur compound and one furan were detected in the mango wine fermented with the strain NCYC2586. The kinetic changes, final concentrations and odour activity values of major volatiles were compared between the two Williopsis yeast strains and also with other yeast reported in the literature. The results showed that Williopsis yeast strains NCYC500 and NCYC2586 were high producers of acetic acid and acetate esters, but low producers of medium‐ to long‐chain fatty acids and their corresponding ethyl esters. Unlike mango wine fermented with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, most terpenoids derived from mango juice were retained in the resultant mango wine fermented with the two Williopsis yeast strains, suggesting the mango wine could retain the aromatic hints of fresh mango.     

Effects of rice bran fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum on palatability,volatile profiles,and antioxidant activity of brown rice noodles

Brown rice noodles (RN) are typical whole-grain products with health benefits. This study investigated the effects of rice bran fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum on palatability, volatile profiles, and antioxidant activity of brown RN. Three kinds of RN, including RN, brown RN (BRN), and bran fermented RN (BFRN), were involved in this study. The results indicated that bran fermentation reduced the cooking loss of BFRN and improved the elongation and the sensory attributes of brown RN. After fermentation, aldehydes were significantly decreased while alcohols increased, and more pleasant flavours were shown in BFRN. Fermentation increased the content of free phenolics and decreased the content of bound phenolics. Among the four major phenolics detected in this study, ferulic acid was the most abundant one in all three RN samples. The DPPH radical scavenging activity and the ferric reducing antioxidant power of free phenolics in BFRN increased significantly compared to BRN. This study proved that rice bran fermentation is an effective approach to improve palatability, enrich the flavour as well as enhance the antioxidant activity of brown RN, which may facilitate the development of processing technology for brown RN.     

Effects of sugar concentration on mango wine composition fermented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae MERIT.ferm

This study investigated the effect of initial sugar concentrations (^°Brix of 17, 23 and 30) on mango wine composition fermented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae MERIT.ferm. It was found that growth rate and maximum cell population were inversely correlated with initial sugar levels with the fastest growth rate and largest cell population in the low sugar fermentation. However, the cell population in the low and medium sugar fermentation declined significantly (from 8.7 and 8.2 log to 2 and 2.8 log, respectively) relative to the high sugar fermentation in which cell populations remained stable upon reaching the stationary phase (7.7 log). Glycerol production increased with increasing sugar content in low (13.4 g L^?1), medium (14.5 g L^?1) and high (15.9 g L^?1) sugar fermentation. In addition, high sugar fermentation had a negative impact on volatile production with significantly lower amounts of acetate esters (1.5 mg L^?1) but more acetic acid (0.54 g L^?1) compared to the low (5.0 mg L^?1 and 0.44 g L^?1, respectively) and medium (3.7 mg L^?1 and 0.49 g L^?1, respectively) sugar fermentations. Furthermore, volatiles especially terpene hydrocarbons (α‐caryophyllene was released) present in mango juice were significantly metabolised after fermentation, while numerous new volatile compounds (such as isobutyl alcohol, isoamyl alcohol, ethyl and acetate esters) were produced. Some terpene alcohols were released and converted into corresponding acetyl esters. This may indicate that the mango wines fermented with different levels of sugars would have different flavour aromas.     

Fatty acid composition and volatile compounds of selected marine oils and meals

BACKGROUND: Although volatile compounds characterising seafood have been studied extensively, no similar data are available regarding the volatiles of raw materials used in fish feed. Therefore the aim of this study was to make an initial screening of the volatiles of various common marine raw materials used in the aquaculture feed industry. Nine commercial marine oils (German (GFO1, GFO2 and GFO3) and Norwegian (NFO) fish oils and salmon (SO1 and SO2), tuna (TO), sardine (SRDO) and shrimp (SHO) oils) and eight commercial marine meals (Peruvian (PFM1 and PFM2), Danish (DFM1 and DFM2) and prime quality (PQFM1 and PQFM2) fish meals and Antarctic krill meals (KM1 and KM2)) were analysed for their fatty acid profiles and volatile flavour compounds. The relation between fatty acids and volatiles was examined. RESULTS: The highest polyunsaturated fatty acid and eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5ω3) contents and ω3/ω6 ratio were found in NFO. The fatty acid composition of all marine meals except krill meals was found to be more variable among batches than that of marine oils. Regarding volatiles, all marine raw materials were characterised by the complete absence or negligible levels of eight‐ and nine‐carbon alcohols and carbonyls. All marine oils were found to have high 2‐ethyl furan, 2‐methylenebutyl cyclopropane, hexanal, 2,4‐octadiene and 3,5‐octadiene contents. Marine meals, unlike marine oils, were characterised by the almost complete absence of unsaturated and cyclic hydrocarbons and terpenes and very low levels of furans. CONCLUSION: Volatiles of marine meals differ from those of marine oils. Unlike fatty acids which give useful traceability information, volatiles seem to fail in this role owing to their strong variability. Copyright © 2008 Society of Chemical Industry

Study of methods for the extraction of volatile compounds from fermented grape must

The main objective of the present study was to analyze the volatile compounds extracted from fermented grape musts by two extraction methods in order to characterize the samples. The purge and trap system provided the necessary sensitivity for the analysis of low-boiling point compounds, such as acetaldehyde and ethyl acetate, and the liquid–liquid extraction method allowed for the analysis of a great number of medium to high boiling point volatile compounds, such as phenylethyl alcohol, hexanoic and octanoic acids, ethyl hexanoate and ethyl octanoate. Ethyl propionate and propyl acetate, extracted by the liquid–liquid method, characterized the sample of grape must fermented by Kloeckera apiculata. The sample of grape must fermented by Pichia membranaefaciens was characterized by 2-propanol and 2-hexanone, extracted by the purge and trap system and liquid–liquid method, respectively. These results show that the purge and trap/dynamic headspace system and liquid–liquid extraction method are complementary in the determination of the aroma profiles of fermented grape musts and characterization of the samples.

Effects of yeast fermentation on transforming the volatile compounds of unsalted pork hydrolysate

This study investigated the possibility of transforming unsalted pork hydrolysate into a liquid seasoning by studying volatile compound production through yeast fermentation. The yeasts used included a typical soya sauce yeast and three wine yeasts. The yeasts inoculated in the glucose supplementary pork hydrolysate increased by approximately 2.0 log of CFU mL⁻¹ within 24 hours at 30°C without adding salt. Yeast fermentation largely depleted the abundant aldehydes (hexenal) present in unfermented pork hydrolysate to trace levels with the formation of ethanol, corresponding alcohols and carboxylic acids. The wine yeasts showed higher production of fruity esters such as ethyl acetate and isoamyl acetate, whereas the soya sauce yeast produced more ketones such as acetone and 2-heptanone. This study revealed a potential method of producing a value-added meat hydrolysate from pork by-product.     

Characterization of flavour and volatile compounds of fermented squid using electronic nose and HPMS in combination with GC-MS

The present study investigated the flavour characteristics and key volatile components of fermented squid (Dosidicus gigas) as well as their formation mechanism by three different starter cultures of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and natural squid. The sensory assessment, volatile compounds, as well as the amino acids of the mixed fermented squid were detected using pickled brine as samples of fermented squid. A total 88 types of volatile compounds were found in four samples by 0–72 h of fermentation. After fermentation by LAB, the volatile compounds of squid showed that the fermented squid with different started cultures differed mainly in terms of numbers of alcohols, ketones, and esters. Furthermore, the amounts of volatile compounds among three starter cultures were also obviously different. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS) analysis indicated that the mixed fermentation process contained relatively higher (+)-limonene (11.71%) (lemon scent) and 3-hydroxy-2-butanone (5.72%) (creamy taste). These compounds were not detected in the control group. The main flavour compounds of nonanal and 2, 4-decadienal were gradually reduced. Meanwhile, 2, 3-butanedione, 2-heptanone, 2-pentylfuran, and nonanoic acid are the key flavour components. The total principal component is 94.01%, which were clarified by electronic nose in combination with principal components analysis. After mixed fermentation by LAB, the total amino acid (TAA) content reached 85.36 g/100 g, which was almost twice the amount of the control, especially in aspartate, glutamate, and threonine. Our results indicated that LAB has obvious effects on deodorization and flavour promotion during the fermentation of squid. This study provided an important basis for the further development and utilization of squid.     

Effect of roasting on colour and volatile composition of pistachios (Pistacia vera L.)

Pistachios have been roasted following the Iranian traditional method (soaking in salty water, drying and roasting at 135 °C). Three Iranian pistachio cultivars (Ahmad Aghaei, Akbari and Kaleghouchi) were compared for their volatile compositions, colour and odour intensity. Lightness decreased in the course of roasting, which resulted from Maillard reaction. Raw pistachios had lower concentrations of most volatiles than roasted. A total of twenty‐six compounds were detected in roasted pistachios; these included aldehydes, terpenes, alcohols and only two pyrazines and one furan. These mixtures of volatiles implied that the Iranian roasting system is very soft, and samples retained most of the vegetable notes from fresh pistachios and some roasted notes were generated as well (from 2‐ethyl‐5‐methylpyrazine and 2,6‐dimethyl‐3‐ethylpyrazine). Sample from cultivar Akbari presented higher odour intensity than those by the other two cultivars, due mainly to higher concentrations of pyrazines developed during the roasting step.
