Yeast interactions in chardonnay wine fermentation: impact of different yeast species using ultra high resolution mass spectrometry

Abstract

AIM: During alcoholic fermentation, when yeasts grow simultaneously, they often do not coexist passively and in most cases interact with each others [1]. They interact by roducing unpredictable compounds an fermentation products that can affect the chemical composition of the wine and therfore alter its aromatic and sensory profile [1, 2].

METHODS: Chardonnay must inoculated with non-Saccharomyces yeasts including Lachancea thermotolerans, Starmerella bacillaris, Metschnikowia pulcherrima and later with Saccharomyces cerevisiae for sequential fermentation screened for metabolite composition using ultra high resolution mass spectrometry [3].

RESULTS: We show that tremendous differencces exist between yeasts in terms of metabolites production and we could clearly differentiate wines according to the yeast strain used [3]. It appears that single cultures could be easily discriminated from sequential cultures based on their metabolite profile. Biomarkers, which reflect important differences between wines from single or mixed culture fermentation, were extracted and annotated to characterized yeast species impact on wine final composition. New metabolites appeared in wines from sequential fermentation and some others metabolites are not detected anymore compared to single cultures. Our data are consistent with the existence of positive or negative interactions between yeast species.

CONCLUSIONS

The wine composition from sequential culture is not only the addition of metabolites from each species but is the result of complex interactions suggesting that interactions between yeasts are not neutral. The level of metabolites represents integrative information to better understand the microbial interactome in order to control the fermentation by multi-starters.

Étude de la flore levurienne de différents terroirs alsaciens

L’utilisation de levures sélectionnées est généralement considérée comme le moyen d’éviter les problèmes fermentaires. Néanmoins de nombreux viticulteurs pensent que ces levures sont à l’origine d’une standardisation des vins et militent pour le respect d’une flore indigène (Bourguignon, 1992).

Late winter pruning induces a maturity delay under temperature-increased conditions in cv. Merlot from Chile

Chile is considered vulnerable to climate change; and these phenomena affect several mechanisms in the grape physiology and quality. The global temperature increase affects sugar contents, organic acids, and phenolic compounds in grapes, producing an imbalance maturity. In this sense, an alternative to reduce the impact is to perform pruning after vine budburst, known as “Late Pruning” (LP).

Microclimatic differences in fruit zone of vineyards on different elevations of ‘nagy-eged hill’ in eger wine region, Hungary

The Bull’s Blood of Eger (‘Egri Bikavér’) is one of the most reputed red wines in Hungary and abroad, produced in the Northeastern part of the country.

Controlling Wine Oxidation: Effects of pH on Key Reaction Rates

Acidity is often touted as a predictor of wine ageability, though surprisingly few studies have systematically investigated the chemical basis for this claim.

Metabolomics comparison of non-Saccharomyces yeasts in Sauvignon blanc and Shiraz

Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) is the main driver of alcoholic fermentation however, in wine, non-Saccharomyces species can have a powerful effect on aroma and flavor formation. This study aimed to compare untargeted volatile compound profiles from SPME-GC×GC-TOF-MS of Sauvignon blanc and Shiraz wine inoculated with six different non-Saccharomyces yeasts followed by SC. Torulaspora delbrueckii (TD), Lachancea thermotolerans (LT), Pichia kluyveri (PK) and Metschnikowia pulcherrima (MP) were commercial starter strains, while Candida zemplinina (CZ) and Kazachstania aerobia (KA), were isolated from wine grape environments. Each fermentation produced a distinct chemical profile that was unique for both grape musts. The SC-monoculture and CZ-SC sequential fermentations were the most distinctly different in the Sauvignon blanc while the LT-SC sequential fermentations were the most different from the control in the Shiraz fermentations.
