Yeast strain affects 3‐isopropyl‐2‐methoxypyrazine concentration and sensory profile in Cabernet Sauvignon wine

Background and Aims: 3‐Isopropyl‐2‐methoxypyrazine (IPMP) is both a grape‐ and insect‐derived trace compound found in wine that can contribute green characters. There has been renewed interest in examining how wine IPMP concentrations can be modulated due to recent concerns regarding ladybug taint – an off‐flavour from IPMP extracted from Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (multicoloured Asian lady beetle). This study sought to determine the influence of commercial Saccharomyces yeast strains on IPMP concentration in Cabernet Sauvignon wines and to describe their sensory impact. Methods and Results: Rehydrated juice from Cabernet Sauvignon concentrate was spiked with 30 ng/L IPMP and fermented in triplicate by yeast strains Lalvin BM45, Lalvin EC1118, Lalvin ICV‐D21 or Lalvin ICV‐D80. IPMP concentration was determined using headspace solid‐phase micro‐extraction coupled with gas chromatography mass spectrometry (HS‐SPME‐GC‐MS), and was unchanged from juice levels in wine fermented by EC1118, Lalvin D21 and Lalvin D80 but increased by 11 ng/L (29%) in wine fermented by Lalvin BM45. Yeast strains differed in their sensory impact on wine made from IPMP‐spiked juice for five aroma and four flavour attributes. Conclusions: HS‐SPME‐GC‐MS allows for sensitive measurement of IPMP that, for the first time, has demonstrated the capacity for wine yeast to affect IPMP concentration. Yeast strains demonstrate varying ability to mask green or ladybug taint characters in wine. Significance of the Study: This information should be useful in guiding selection of yeast strains for juices of high IPMP concentration, including those that are multicoloured Asian lady beetle‐affected, under‐ripe or from varieties with high methoxypyrazine loads such as Cabernet Sauvignon.

以烟台产区白玉霓葡萄为原料酿造白兰地,研究3种酿酒酵母（Saccharomyces cerevisiae）D254、QA23、FC9对白兰地香气成分的影响。结果表明,3种酿酒酵母酿造的白兰地共检测出69种挥发性成分,其中酵母D254产生的萜烯类、醛酮类、有机酸类和芳香类含量较高;酵母QA23产生的酯类、醇类和缩醛类含量较高;酵母FC9产生各类挥发性化合物含量比较均衡。主成分分析（PCA）结果表明,选用酵母D254与酵母QA23、FC9有明显的差异性;但酵母QA23与FC9之间的差异性不显著。     

Volatile aroma and sensory analysis of black raspberry wines fermented by different yeast strains

Robus coreanus Miquel is a small berry fruit used for Korean black raspberry (KBR) wine‐making. Twelve different yeast strains were investigated by laboratory‐scale fermentation to develop a wine with a high flavour quality. Volatile aroma compounds from the wines were analysed using headspace–solid phase microextraction–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and sensory evaluation was performed to evaluate the flavour characteristics. The volatile aroma compounds that mostly contributed to the flavour of KBR wines were those related to fruity (esters) and floral (terpenes) aromas. Fifteen out of the 67 identified volatile compounds showed higher odour activity values than other compounds in the wines, and these compounds were considered as important contributors to the final aromas of the wine. Additionally, the KBR wine fermented by the M1 yeast strain had the highest sensory preference because of higher fruity and floral aroma characters compared with other wines. In addition to the M1 strain, the other yeast strains that produced favourable sensory characteristics included Enoferm CSM, Uvaferm VRB, Lalvin ICV GRE, Lalvin ICV Opale and LevureSeche Active. Of these strains, the M1 strain produced a particularly excellent black raspberry wine, and thus could be applied for further large‐scale production of black raspberry wines. It is also expected that this work will expedite research on the production of high‐quality black raspberry wines with beneficial physicochemical properties, functionality and good sensory characteristics.

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.

Characteristics and antioxidant capacities of five hawthorn wines fermented by different wine yeasts

Different yeast strains can influence the characteristics and active constituents of hawthorn wines. Hawthorn wines were produced using five different yeasts and characterized in terms of their profiles of typical properties and antioxidant capacities. The wine antioxidant capacities of 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2′‐azino‐bis‐3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid, superoxide anion (O₂ · ^–) scavenging activities and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) were determined. It was found that the general wine compositions showed the expected variations. Except for yeast Lalvin W15 all of the yeasts exhibited good sugar‐utilizing ability and alcohol production. Yeast Lalvin 71B exhibited an excellent fermentation capability. Hawthorn wine fermented by yeast Lalvin 71B had the lowest residual sugar, titratable acidity and colour density and the highest alcohol content. SIHA Active Yeast 3 had good performance in respect to oxidation resistance. The highest content of anthocyanins and polyphenols in the wine was found with hawthorn wine fermented by SIHA Active Yeast 3, and this wine contained the highest antioxidant activity as determined by the DPPH assay, O₂ · ^– assay and FRAP. Statistical analysis indicated that pH value was significantly correlated with colour density (?0.954**) and alcohol content (0.905**) in the hawthorn wines. There was a strong positive correlation between the polyphenol content and the antioxidant activity as determined by the DPPH (0.915**) and FRAP (0.914**) assays, respectively.

Mead production: effect of nitrogen supplementation on growth,fermentation profile and aroma formation by yeasts in mead fermentation

Mead is an alcoholic beverage, produced since ancient times, resulting from an alcoholic fermentation of diluted honey by yeasts. When it is produced in a traditional manner, mead producers can encounter several problems related to a lack of essential nutrients, such as available nitrogen. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen addition to honey‐must on the fermentation performance of two Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine yeasts, QA23 and ICV D47, as well as on the mead composition and production of volatile aroma compounds. A portion of honey‐must was supplemented with diammonium phosphate (DAP) to achieve the nitrogen concentration required by yeast to complete alcoholic fermentation. The supplementation with DAP reduced the fermentation length to around 7 days, but not all sugars were fully consumed, suggesting that other factors could be interfering with yeast growth. For both yeasts the specific growth rate and final biomass were higher in musts supplemented with DAP. Mead final composition was similar under the two experimental conditions. Analysis of the volatile profile revealed that the concentrations of the volatile fatty acids and volatile phenols were higher in meads supplemented with DAP. The concentrations of ethyl hexanoate, ethyl octanoate and isoamyl acetate were above their perception threshold and were higher in meads supplemented with DAP, which could contribute to the enhancement of the fruity character. This study could be useful for the optimization of mead production and quality improvement. Copyright © 2015 The Institute of Brewing & Distilling     

Evaluation of sequential inoculation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Oenococcus oeni strains on the chemical and aromatic profiles of cherry wines

The current study was carried out to elucidate the effect of sequential inoculation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (RC212, D254) and Oenococcus oeni (SG26, Lalvin 31 and Uvaferm Alpha) on the production of cherry wines, especially on the chemical and aromatic characteristics. SI-D culture required the shortest period (23 d) to complete the fermentation, while other inoculations needed longer time. Analysis from chemical composition showed that titratable acidity and content of l-malic acid exhibited evident differences among the samples after MLF. For volatile compounds, 49 major components were identified, mostly comprising of alcohols, acids and esters. Cherry wines obtained from SI-B and SI-C showed higher contents of total volatile alcohols, and SI-D wines produced the greatest amount of volatile acids. According to the odour active value (OAV), 9 out of 49 studied volatile components had OAV >1 in all the analyzed wines, while six volatile components showed OAV >1 only for some of them. Furthermore, a sensory analysis was performed to compare the sensory profile of these cherry wines, and results evidenced that wines resulting from different inoculations presented diverse sensory profiles. These findings suggest that sequential inoculations posed a great potential in affecting and modulating the aromatic profile of cherry wines.     

Manipulation of volatile compound transformation in durian wine by nitrogen supplementation

This study evaluated the impact of added diammonium phosphate (DAP) and a L‐leucine‐L‐phenylalanine mixture (Leu+Phe) on durian wine fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. bayanus EC‐1118. Changes in yeast cell population, ^oBrix, sugars, organic acids and pH were similar in all fermentations, regardless of nitrogen supplementation at a concentration of 150 mg N L^?1. The supplementation of Leu+Phe accelerated the utilisation and reduced the formation of volatile sulphur compounds such as diethyl disulphide, ethyl thioacetate and 2‐(ethylthio)ethanol, which were 64.3%, 26.0% and 48.4% lower than the control, respectively. Nevertheless, the supplementation of Leu+Phe heightened the production of isoamyl alcohol, 2‐phenylethyl alcohol and their corresponding esters, especially isoamyl acetate was 1.6 times and 2‐phenylethyl acetate was 26.5 times higher than the control. The supplementation with DAP exerted negligible effects on the volatile composition. The results of this study suggest that the addition of specific amino acids may be a novel approach to manipulating durian wine flavour by suppressing or accentuating the formation of certain aroma compounds.

Yeast viability during fermentation and sur lie ageing of a defined medium and subsequent growth of Oenococcus oeni

Interactions between the yeast strain used for primary oenological fermentation and the bacterium used to conduct subsequent malolactic fermentation were studied under model winemaking conditions. A commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine yeast (strains, EC 1118, AWRI 835 and CY-3079) was grown in a defined medium whose composition approximated grape juice. Fermentations by all strains reached dryness, and retained a cell viability of greater than 90% upon completion of fermentation. Highest total viable cell number and percentage of viable cells were recorded for EC 1118. A sur lie ageing of the fermented medium over a 12 week period revealed a bi-phasic decay of culture viability for all strains. Thus 99% of cells had died within 2 weeks post-fermentation. Viabilities were then stable for the subsequent 4–6 week period before a second decline phase ensued and ended in either a minimal ( ca 100 CFU/mL, EC 1118) or no viable cells being detected at 12 weeks of ageing. The growth response of an Oenococcus oeni inoculum to yeast culture supernatants, previously aged for up to 12 weeks in the presence or absence of yeast lees, was evaluated in a bio-assay. In this way, yeast strains could be designated as being either inhibitory, neutral or stimulatory to the growth of O. oeni (strain Lc5p). Inhibition by supernatants of strain EC 1118 was evident, but found to be reduced by ageing the supernatant (with or without lees). Conversely, longer ageing on yeast lees increased the magnitude of the stimulatory response in O. oeni (strain Lc5p) to the supernatant from the wine yeast (strain CY-3079).     

Characterization of Active Dry Wine Yeast During Starter Culture (Pied de Cuve) Preparation for Sparkling Wine Production

The preparation of yeast starter culture (Pied de Cuve) for producing sparkling wine with the traditional method is a key factor for manufacturing a good Prise de mousse. In this paper, the evolution of total yeast population, its viability during Pied de Cuve preparation, and the pressure profile during the 2nd fermentation in 2 different base wines made from Bombino bianco and Chardonnay grapes were investigated using 4 different commercial active dried yeasts. The study proves that despite the initial differences observed throughout the acclimatization phase, all the tested strains showed similar results on either the total population (from 8.2 × 10⁷ cells/mL to 1.3 × 10⁸ cells/mL) or cellular viability (from 70% to 84%). Independently from the base wine tested, the kinetic of sugar consumption was faster during the gradual acclimatization to the alcoholic medium (phase II) and slower during the preparation of starter culture in active growth phase (phase III). During both of these phases Saccharomyces cerevisiae bayanus Vitilevure DV10^® (Station ?notechnique de Champagne) proved to have a higher sugar consumption rate than the other strains. During the Prise de mousse, S. cerevisiae bayanus Lalvin EC‐1118^® (Lallemand) reached the maximum pressure increase within time in both base wines.
