Sequential Inoculation of Native Non-Saccharomyces and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Strains for Wine Making.

ABSTRACT: The use of non-Saccharomyces yeast for wine making is becoming a common trend in many innovative wineries. The application is normally aimed at increasing aromas, glycerol, reducing acidity, and other improvements. This manuscript focuses on the reproduction of the native microbiota from the vineyard in the inoculum. Thus, native selected yeasts (Hanseniaspora uvarum, Metschnikowia pulcherrima, Torulaspora delbrueckii, Starmerella bacillaris species and three different strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae) were inoculated sequentially, or only S. cerevisiae (three native strains together or one commercial) was used. Inoculations were performed both in laboratory conditions with synthetic must (400 mL) as well as in industrial conditions (2000 kg of grapes) in red winemaking in two different varieties, Grenache and Carignan. The results showed that all the inoculated S. cerevisiae strains were found at the end of the vinifications, and when non-Saccharomyces yeasts were inoculated, they were found in appreciable populations at mid-fermentation. The final wines produced could be clearly differentiated by sensory analysis and were of similar quality, in terms of sensory analysis panelists' appreciation.

Project description:The application of starter is a common practice to accelerate and steer the pomegranate wine fermentation process. However, the use of starter needs a better understanding of the effect of the interaction between the starter and native microorganisms during alcoholic fermentation. In this study, high-throughput sequencing combined with metabolite analysis was applied to analyze the effect of commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae inoculation on the native fungal community interaction and metabolism during pomegranate wine fermentation. Results showed that there were diverse native fungi in pomegranate juice, including Hanseniaspora uvarum, Hanseniaspora valbyensis, S. cerevisiae, Pichia terricola, and Candida diversa Based on ecological network analysis, we found that S. cerevisiae inoculation transformed the negative correlations into positive correlations among the native fungal communities and decreased the Granger causalities between native yeasts and volatile organic compounds. This might lead to decreased contents of isobutanol, isoamylol, octanoic acid, decanoic acid, ethyl laurate, ethyl acetate, ethyl hexadecanoate, phenethyl acetate, and 2-phenylethanol during fermentation. This study combined correlation and causality analysis to gain a more integrated understanding of microbial interaction and the fermentation process. It provided a new strategy to predict certain behaviors between inoculated and selected microorganisms and those coming directly from the fruit.IMPORTANCE Microbial interactions play an important role in flavor metabolism during traditional food and beverage fermentation. However, we understand little about how selected starters influence interactions among native microorganisms. In this study, we found that S. cerevisiae inoculation changed the interactions and metabolisms of native fungal communities during pomegranate wine fermentation. This study not only suggests that starter inoculation should take into account the positive features of starters but also characterizes the microbial interactions established among the starters and the native communities. It may be helpful to select appropriate starter cultures for winemakers to design different styles of wine.

Project description:Thioredoxins are small proteins that regulate the cellular redox state, prevent oxidative damage, and play an active role in cell repair. Oxidative stress has proven to be of much relevance in biotechnological processes when the metabolism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is mainly respiratory. During wine yeast starter production, active dry yeast cytosolic thioredoxin Trx2p is a key player in protecting metabolic enzymes from being oxidized by carbonylation. Less is known about the role of redox control during grape juice fermentation. A mutant strain that lacked both cytosolic thioredoxins, Trx1p and Trx2p, was tested for grape juice fermentation. Its growth and sugar consumption were greatly impaired, which indicates the system's relevance under fermentative conditions. A proteomic analysis indicated that deletion of the genes TRX1 and TRX2 caused a reduction in the ribosomal proteins and factors involved in translation elongation in addition to enzymes for glycolysis and amino acid biosynthesis. A metabolomic analysis of the trx1Δ trx2Δ mutant showed an increase in most proteogenic amino acids, phospholipids, and sphingolipids and higher fatty acid desaturase Ole1p content. Low glycolytic activity was behind the reduced growth and fermentative capacity of the thioredoxin deletion strain. All three hexokinases were downregulated in the mutant strain, but total hexokinase activity remained, probably due to posttranslational regulation. Pyruvate kinase Cdc19p presented an early level of aggregation in the trx1Δ trx2Δ mutant, which may contribute to a diminished hexose metabolism and trigger regulatory mechanisms that could influence the level of glycolytic enzymes.IMPORTANCE Oxidative stress is a common hazardous condition that cells have to face in their lifetime. Oxidative damage may diminish cell vitality and viability by reducing metabolism and eventually leading to aging and ultimate death. Wine yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae also faces oxidative attack during its biotechnological uses. One of the main yeast antioxidant systems involves two small proteins called thioredoxins. When these two proteins are removed, wine yeast shows diminished growth, protein synthesis, and sugar metabolism under wine-making conditions, and amino acid and lipid metabolism are also affected. Altogether, our results indicate that proper redox regulation is a key factor for metabolic adaptations during grape juice fermentation.
