Effects of Non-Saccharomyces Yeasts and Their Pairwise Combinations in Co-Fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae on the Quality of Chunjian Citrus Wine

Le résumé fourni par la source

(Sc) samples were tested on their performance of mono-inoculated and composite culture in the fermentation of Chunjian citrus wine. The cell count, Brix degree, total sugar, total acidity, alcohol level, pH value, color intensity (CI), and tonality were determined to evaluate the contribution of NSc to the quality of citrus wine in the mixed fermentation. Volatile compounds were analyzed by HS-SPME-GC-MS, and sensory evaluation was carried out. During the 9-day fermentation, the mixed-culture wine exhibited a higher cell concentration than the pure culture. After the fermentation, mixed-culture wine specifically decreased the concentrations of unfavorable volatile compounds, such as isobutanol and octanoic acid, and increased favorable volatile compounds, including ethyl octanoate, ethyl decanoate, and phenylethyl acetate. The quality category of the citrus wine was improved compared with the Sc mono-inoculated wines, mainly in regard to aroma, retention, and sweetness. The study shows that the mixed fermentation of NSc and Sc has positive impacts on reducing alcohol level and total acidity and increasing CI. The present work demonstrates that the mixed fermentation of NSc and Sc has enormous beneficial impacts on improving the quality of citrus wine.
