Abstract The international competitiveness of the wine sector and consumer demands for the unique wine styles pose challenges in improving the fermentation process. The basis of proper alcoholic fermentation is knowledge about how individual yeast strains interact with the aroma, taste and color of wine, what results in possibility to select species used as starter cultures. To use the value of non-Saccharomyces yeast strains in wine production and to minimize the possibility of wine deterioration, it is necessary to precisely recognize the yeast cultures present on the fruit of the vine and in grape must, as well as their metabolic properties. The aim of the study was to determine the oenological properties of yeasts isolated from spontaneously fermented grape musts obtained from cool climate grapes. For this purpose, Zweigelt grape must was fermented with yeast monocultures. Alcohol, extract, sugars, glycerol, total acidity and free amine nitrogen were analyzed in the obtained wines. Poor fermentation properties of yeast strains results in obtaining wines with relatively large amounts of residual sugars and low alcohol. A decrease in overall acidity was noted in sets with the participation of M. pulcherrima MG971264, while in other tests the opposite trend was observed. Although some microorganisms have the ability to assimilate organic acids found in wine, they are not able to carry out fermentation or they do it inefficiently. Solution to this problem may, therefore, be use of mixed cultures of noble and non-Saccharomyces yeast, what effectively reduce the concentration of organic acids, while not adversely affecting the organoleptic characteristics of the drink.

The large amount of jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam) harvested and their short use time caused many difficulties for the farmers. Fortunately, the high sugar content in jackfruit meat is a hopeful substance for wine production. This study aimed to consider the effect of yeast strains and their concentration on fermented jackfruit solution. Jackfruit juice with 14 °Brix is ​​fermented using 0.005 to 0.015% (w/v) Saccharomyces cerevisiae RV002, Mauri Instant Dry Yeast yeast under anaerobic conditions for 1 to 4 days at 30 °C. Survey samples were checked once a day to analyze the indicators. The functional report of the sugar in the fermentation time, shows that the higher incidence of yeast cultures and the initial sugar concentration inhibited yeast growth. The results showed that fermentation from jackfruit meat with 25 °Brix using Saccharomyces cerevisiae RV002 yeast with concentration of 0.01% for 3 days is the best to create a good quality with ethanol content 4,9% and characteristic aroma of jackfruit.

One of the most important problems of the modern wine technology is the production of high quality and competitive products. It is commonly known that the quality of a wine largely depends on the yeast race. The main requirement for yeast is completeness of fermentation, which depends on the amount  of yeast involved, aeration, initial content of various substances in the must, temperature, pH of the environment. Using  imported  materials in the specific conditions of national winemaking requires laboratory and industrial research to rationalize the use of local and foreign pure yeast cultures and to accelerate the process of grape must fermentation. So, this study considers how  the  yeast  origin and additional nutrition effect on grape must fermentation and influence the physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of wine materials obtained from the white grape varieties  Aromatny and Zagrei of the generative breeding by the National Scientific Centre Tairov Viticulture and Winemaking Institute. Besides, it has been concluded whether using additional nutrition  is  practical.  It has been established that the fermentation process was complete in both the control and the experimental samples. There were no facts of underfermentation. When supplementary nitrogenous nutrition was used, the fermentation activity of yeast increased and the fermentation process ended faster. The dynamics of the  total  number of cells of the Aromatic and Zagrei varieties was the same during the years 2015–2017 and did not depend on the fermentation scheme. It has been found that the fermentation process does not depend on supplementary nutrition, but the yeast race effects on the physicochemical parameters, namely on the volatile acids content. The results obtained have shown the effect of a yeast race and supplementary nutrition on the organoleptic characteristics of these varieties. In Southern Ukraine, to control the quality characteristics of wine materials, using active dry yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae with a two-stage nutrition complex has a positive effect on the physicochemical parameters of the corresponding grape variety and allows revealing its varietal characteristics.

This project aims to characterize and define an autochthonous yeast, Saccharomyces bayanus CN1, for wine production from partially dehydrated grapes. The yeast was identified via PCR and Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) analysis as Saccharomyces bayanus, and then subsequently used in fermentations using partially dehydrated or control grapes. Wine grapes were dried to 28.0°Brix from the control grapes at a regular harvest of 23.0°Brix. Both the partially dehydrated and control grapes were then vinified with each of two yeast strains, S. bayanus CN1 and S. cerevisiae EC1118, which is a common yeast used for making wine from partially dehydrated grapes. Chemical analysis gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and enzymatic) of wines at each starting sugar level showed that CN1 produced comparable ethanol levels to EC1118, while producing higher levels of glycerol, but lower levels of oxidative compounds (acetic acid, ethyl acetate, and acetaldehyde) compared to EC1118. Yeast choice impacted the wine hue; the degree of red pigment coloration and total red pigment concentration differed between yeasts. A sensory triangle test (n = 40) showed that wines made from different starting sugar concentrations and yeast strains both differed significantly. This newly identified S. bayanus strain appears to be well-suited for this style of wine production from partially dehydrated grapes by reducing the oxidative compounds in the wine, with potential commercial application for cool climate wine regions.

Ion exchange resins are polymers with high physical and chemical stability, which, upon activation, acquire positive charge (H+) ions which interchange with existing cations during musts or wines treatment. The chemical composition of the grape must, and wines are highly affected by said modifications. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the cationic resin treatments on the physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of base white wines for sparkling wine production. Thus for, Chardonnay must was exposed to a cation exchange resin specific for oenological usage, and fermented to obtain wines. Resulting wines included an untreated control sample with pH 3.15 and treated samples with pH 3.08, 3.02 and 2.97. Physicochemical and volatile compounds analyses as well as quantitative sensory evaluations were conducted. The results showed that, on the scenarios tested, treatments with cationic resins before fermentation resulted in wine with higher oxidative stability, with significative variation on the concentration of several volatile compounds that influenced organoleptic perceptions.

Содержание и состав органических кислот, играющих важную роль в формировании вкуса и аромата вина, во многом зависит от штамма дрожжей. Это позволяет рассматривать микроорганизмы как средство биомодуляции кислотности вин. Целью настоящих исследований являлось изучение комплекса нелетучих органических кислот белых столовых сухих вин из винограда сортов Алиготе, Кокур белый и Мускат белый, полученных с использованием шести штаммов дрожжей рода Saccharomyces. Анализ комплекса органических кислот вин осуществляли с использованием ВЭЖХ. Показано, что, несмотря на превалирующую роль сорта винограда в формировании комплекса органических кислот, титруемой и активной кислотности вина, штамм дрожжей также влияет на его формирование. Выявлены особенности комплекса органических кислот вин, полученных на разных штаммах: высокая доля яблочной (33%) и молочной (16%) кислот в винах, полученных соответственно на штаммах Мускат венгерский и Судак; высокая концентрация янтарной кислоты в винах, полученных на штаммах Ленинградская и Мускат венгерский - 1,38 и 1,18 г/дм соответственно, и низкая 0,83 г/дм - на штамме Судак. Полученные результаты послужат базисом в исследованиях по биомодуляции состава органических кислот путем использования разных штаммов дрожжей, как одного из факторов снижения доз диоксида серы в аспекте производства винопродукции с органическим статусом. The content and composition of organic acids, playing an important role in the formation of wine taste and aroma, largely depend on the yeast strain. It allows us to consider microorganisms as a resource of biomodulation of wine acidity. The purpose of this research was to study the complex of nonvolatile organic acids of white table dry wines made of ‘Aligote’, ‘Kokur Belyi’ and ‘Muscat Blanc’ grape varieties obtained using six strains of the Saccharomyces yeast species. The analysis of the complex of organic acid of wines was carried out using HPLC. It was shown that, despite the predominating role of grape varieties in the formation of organic acids complex, titratable and active acidity of wine, the yeast strain was also effecting its formation. The features of the complex of organic acids of wines obtained with different strains were revealed: high proportion of malic (33%) and lactic (16%) acids in wines obtained respectively with strains ‘Muscat Vengerskiy’ and ‘Sudak’; high concentration of succinic acid in wines obtained with strains ‘Leningradskaya’ and ‘Muscat Vengerskiy” - 1.38 and 1.18 g/dm, respectively, and low 0.83 g/dm with the strain ‘Sudak’. The results obtained will serve as a basis for research of biomodulation of the composition of organic acids by using different yeast strains as one of the factors of reducing the dosage of sulfur dioxide in the aspect of organic wine production.

Speeding up grape must fermentation would be of great economic benefit. We subjected Saccharomyces cerevisiae VIN13 and two recombinant VIN13-strains expressing ATF1 alleles under two different promoters (either PGK1 or HXT7) to four styles of grape must fermentations; we then assessed the effect of constantly stirring a must fermentation (isomixing). The four different fermentation setups were as follows: isomixed, closed in an ANKOM Rf Gas productions system; isomixed, open in a stirred tall tube cylinder; static, closed constituting a conventional fermentation in a wine bottle equipped with an airlock and static; and static, open in a tall tube cylinder (without stirring). We report on major fermentation parameters and the volatile aroma compositions generated in the finished wines. The primary fermentations of the strains subjected to constant stirring finished after 7 days, whereas the static fermentations reached dryness after 19 days. The wines derived from isomixed fermentations produced approximately 0.7% less ethanol compared to the unstirred fermentations. The speed that the isomixed fermentation took to reach completion may provide an alternative to static fermentations in the preparation of base wines for sparkling wine production. The observed increase of volatiles of isomixed fermentations merits further investigation.

ABSTRACT Saccharomyces cerevisiae produces organic acids including malate during alcohol fermentation. Since malate contributes to the pleasant flavor of sake, high-malate-producing yeast strain No. 28 and No. 77 have been developed by the Brewing Society of Japan. In this study, the genes responsible for the high malate phenotype in these strains were investigated. We had found previously that the deletion of components of the glucose induced degradation-deficient (GID) complex led to high malate production in yeast. Upon examining GID protein-coding genes in yeast strain No. 28 and No. 77, a nonsense homozygous mutation of GID4 in strain No. 28, and of GID2 in strain No. 77, were identified as the cause of high malate production. Furthermore, complementary tests of these mutations indicated that the heterozygous nonsense mutation in GID2 was recessive. In contrast, the heterozygous nonsense mutation in GID4 was considered semi-dominant.

Рассмотрено влияние способа технологической обработки белого столового виноматериала на состав и концентрацию компонентов ароматобразующего комплекса и органических кислот. В качестве объекта исследований был белый столовый виноматериал Пино Блан урожая 2018 г. Виноматериал получен по следующей схеме: переработка винограда в мягком режиме путем пневмопрессования, отделение сусла первой фракции, осветление сусла с предварительным охлаждением, внесение подкормки для дрожжей АF1 в количестве 0,9 г/дм3, сбраживание сусла активными сухими дрожжами Saccharomyces cerevisiae раса WT1 (Германия). Установлено, что выдержка виноматериала на дрожжевом осадке привела к снижению концентрации винной и янтарной кислот, количество яблочной и лимонной кислот не изменилось. Отмечено увеличение количества молочной, уксусной, валериановой и изовалериановой кислот. В результате обработки бентонитом снизились концентрации валериановой и изовалериановой кислот. В результате брожения виноградного сусла в присутствии сухих дрожжей образуется большое количество эфиров, определяющих специфические оттенки и формирующих аромат виноматериала. Выдержка виноматериала на дрожжевом осадке способствовала повышению концентрации ацетальдегида, метилацетата, ацеталей, высших спиртов, эфира этилвалериата. Количество других эфиров и терпеновых соединений значительно уменьшилось. Обработка виноматериала бентонитом привела к уменьшению количества ароматобразующих компонентов на 8 16. The influence of the method of technological processing of white table wine material on the composition and concentration of components of the aromatic complex and organic acids is considered. White table wine material Pinot Blanc harvest 2018 was as an object of research. Wine material is obtained according to the following scheme: processing of grapes in the soft mode by pneumomassage, the separation of the wort of the first fraction, wort clarification with preliminary cooling to fertilize for yeast AF1 in an amount of 0,9 g/dm3, the fermentation wort active dry yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, race, WT1 (Germany). It was found that the aging of wine material on yeast sediment led to a decrease in the concentration of tartaric and succinic acids, the amount of malic and citric acids has not changed. An increase in the amount of lactic, acetic, valerian and isovaleric acids was noted. Concentrations of valerian and isovaleric acids decreased as a result of treatment by bentonite. A large number of esters, which determine the specific shades and form the aroma of wine material, is formed as a result of fermentation of grape must in the presence of dry yeast. The wine material aging on yeast sediment has contributed to increasing concentration in wine acetaldehyde, and methyl acetate, acetals, higher alcohols, ether of ethylmalonate, a number of other esters and terpenic compounds is significantly reduced. Treatment of wine material by bentonite led to a decrease in the number of aromatic components by 8 16.

Research indicates that certain yeast strains are beneficial in their capacity to stimulate key microbial populations. This stimulation is strain specific with similar yeast strains exerting their effect on totally different microbial populations. Future yeast culture supplements may contain mixtures of different strains designed to suit specific diets. This, therefore, requires the development of a rapid sensitive technique to differentiate among taxonomically similar yeast strains in animal diets. This technique, termed the Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay, is based upon the use of randomly designed short polynucleotide primers to amplify genetic sequences from the DNA of the desired yeast strain. Our objective involves the development of this technique to distinguish between closely related yeast strains present in feed. The feed sample investigated was a standard cattle ration containing three strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (1026, 2045 and 2020) and Candida utilis 3001 at a concentration of 106 CFU/g respectively. Isolation of single colonies of yeast strains present was achieved by feed extraction in dilution buffer followed by plating a series of dilutions on rose-bengal agar. Thirty randomly selected colonies were cultured in YPD (1% yeast extract, 2% peptone, 2% glucose) broth for 24 - 30 hours at 30°C. Genomic DNA was isolated from yeast cells by standard methods based on subjection of the cells to vortex mixing in the presence of glass beads, triton X-100, sodium dodecyl sulphate, phenol and chloroform. Isolated DNA from randomly selected colonies was amplified by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for 45 cycles of 1 min at 94°C, 1 min at 36°C and 1 min at 72°C using randomly designed 10 bp primers.
