Impact of strain and inoculation time on yeasts interactions: mass spectrometry-based study.

Abstract

Under oenological conditions, when yeasts grow simultaneously during alcoholic fermentation, they often do not coexist passively, and in most cases, physiological and metabolic interactions are established between them. They interact by producing unpredictable compounds and fermentation products that can affect the chemical composition of the wine and therefore alter its aromatic and sensory profile. With its great resolution and excellent mass accuracy, ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry (uHRMS) is the perfect tool to analyze the yeast metabolome at the end of alcoholic fermentation.

In this study, we aimed to characterize different non-Saccharomyces (NS) yeast species and to study the influence of these strains in sequential cultures with Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S). We show that tremendous differences exist between species in terms of metabolites, and we could clearly differentiate wines according to the yeast strain used in single cultures and markers, which reflect important differences between the yeast species. uHRMS was able to distinguish thousands of metabolites and provides deep insights into grape must composition allowing better understanding of the yeast-yeast interactome. Single cultures could be easily discriminated from sequential cultures based on their metabolite profile. New metabolites appeared in wines from sequential fermentation compared to single fermentation. The dominance of S, characterized by a metabolic richness not found with NS, is dependent on inoculation time and on the yeast species present. The wine composition of sequential culture is not only the addition of metabolites from each species but is the result of complex interactions. Co-inoculation leads to the formation of new compounds, reflecting a reshuffling of yeast metabolism linked to interaction mechanisms.

How to reduce SO2 additions in wine with the aid of non-conventional yeasts

Among the factors that influence the sensory quality, style, safety, sustainability, and sense of place of a wine, the contributions of microbial biodiversity are widely becoming more recognized. Throughout winemaking, multiple biochemical reactions are performed by a myriad of different microorganisms interacting in many ways.

Dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction for the quantification of terpens in wines

In a highly competitive worldwide market, a current challenge for the beverage sector is to diversify the range of products and to offer wines and spirits with typicity and character.

During alcoholic fermentation, wine yeasts generate a large variety of volatile metabolites, including acetate esters, ethyl fatty acid esters, higher alcohols, volatile fatty acids and volatile sulfur compounds that contribute to the aroma profile of wine. These molecules, refered as fermentative aromas, are the most abundant volatile compounds synthetized by yeasts and the metabolic pathways involved in their formation have been well characterized. Furthermore, other molecules with a major organoleptic impact may be produced during wine fermentation including terpene derivatives. However, little information is available on the contribution of yeasts to the formation of these molecules, in particular on their ability to synthethise de novo the terpens derivatives or to produce hydrolytic enzymes involved in the release of varietal precursors.

How can yeast modulate Divona’s aromatic profile?

Volatile thiols play a key role in the aromatic expression of white wines, contributing to notes such as passion fruit, grapefruit, and herbal nuances [1]. These compounds, present as non-volatile precursors in grapes, require enzymatic activation to be released and realize their aromatic potential.
