Screening of yeasts isolated from Baijiu environments for 2-phenylethanol production and optimization of production conditions.

ABSTRACT: 2-Phenylethanol (2-PE) with a pleasant rose-like odor is a valuable aroma compound used in many fields. 2-PE production by yeast is considered a promising alternative to chemical synthesis and extraction from natural materials. In this report, the strain YF1702 produced a significantly higher level of 2-PE when compared with other strains isolated from Baijiu-producing environments. According to morphological properties, physiological and biochemical characteristics, and 26S rDNA sequence analysis, strain YF1702 was identified as Pichia kudriavzevii. The optimal fermentation conditions of YF1702 for producing 2-PE were obtained by single-factor experiments, Plackett-Burman design, steepest ascent design, and response surface methodology. The optimal inoculation conditions for strain YF1702 were 50 g/L glucose, 6.0 g/L yeast extract, 10.7 g/L L-Phe, and 32 g/L Tween-60. The optimal fermentation conditions were pH 2.3, 26 °C, 210 rpm shaking, an inoculum size of 0.4% (v/v), and a loading volume of 25.5 mL/250 mL for 56 h. Under these optimal conditions 2-PE production by YF1702 was 5.09 g/L. This strain has the potential to increase the content of 2-PE in Baijiu production and enhance the aroma characteristics of Baijiu.

Project description:Yeasts are important microorganisms used for ethanol production; however, they are not equally efficient in the amount of ethanol production under different environmental conditions. It is, therefore, necessary to screen for elite strains to utilize them for commercial production of these commodities. In this study, yeasts were isolated from different Ethiopian traditional fermented alcoholic beverages (teji, tella, shamiata and areqe tinisis), milk and ergo, teff and maize dough, soil and compost, flowers, and fruits to evaluate their potential use for ethanol fermentation process. Isolates were screened for efficient ethanol production and the selected ones were identified using phenotypic and genetic characters using D1/D2 region of LSU rDNA sequence analysis. The yeast isolates were evaluated based on their growth and fermentation of different carbon sources. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize temperature, pH and incubation time using central composite design (CCD) in Design-Expert 7.0.0. A total of 211 yeasts colonies were isolated of which 60% were ethanologenic yeasts (ethanol producers) and 40% were non-ethanol producers. The yeast population detected from various sources was in the range of 10 5 CFU from traditional foods and beverages to that of 10 3 CFU from fruits and soil samples. The data also showed that the number of colony types (diversity) did not correlate with population density. The highly fermentative isolates were taxonomically characterized into four genera, of which 65% of the isolates (ETP37, ETP50; ETP53, ETP89, ETP94) were categorized under Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and the remaining were Pichia fermentans ETP22, Kluyveromyces marxianus ETP87, and Candida humilis ETP122. The S. cerevisiae isolates produced ethanol (7.6-9.0 g/L) similar with K. marxianus ETP87 producing 7.97 g/L; comparable to the ethanol produced from commercial baker's yeast (8.43 g/L) from 20 g/L dextrose; whereas C. humilis ETP122 and P. fermentans ETP22 produced 5.37 g/L and 6.43 g/L ethanol, respectively. S. cerevisiae ETP53, K. marxianus ETP87, P. fermentans ETP22 and C. humilis ETP122 tolerated 10% extraneous ethanol but the percentage of ethanol tolerance considerably decreased upon 15%. S. cerevisiae ETP53 produced ethanol optimally at pH 5.0, 60 h, and 34 o C. pH 4.8, temperature 36 o C, and 65 h of time were optimal growth conditions of ethanol fermentation by K. marxianus ETP87. The ethanol fermentation conditions of P. fermentans ETP22 was similar to S. cerevisiae ETP53 though the ethanol titer of S. cerevisiae ETP53 was higher than P. fermentans ETP22. Therefore, S. cerevisiae ETP53, K. marxianus and P. fermentans ETP22 are good candidates for ethanol production.
