New oenological criteria for selecting strains of Lachancea thermotolerans for wine technology
Abstract
The study conducted various fermentations of different grape juices using various strains of Lachancea thermotolerans and one strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Because of the new conditions caused by climate change, wine acidity must be influenced as well as the volatile profile. Non-Saccharomyces yeasts such as L. thermotolerans are real options to mitigate the impact of climate change in wine production. The L. thermotoleransstrains comprised several strains available commercially and several natural isolates related to wine. L. thermotolerans showed significant statistical differences in basic chemical parameters such as lactic acid, malic acid, succinic acid, acetic acid, glycerol, higher alcohols, esters, fatty acids or ethanol levels as well as in the volatile profile. S. cerevisiae clearly produced some volatile compounds in higher amounts than the studied L. thermotolerans strains while others showed the opposite effect.
