Abstract

Four strains ofSaccharomyces cerevisiaeand native yeasts were evaluated for their influence on White Riesling-conjugated aroma precursors, which were measured using three analytical procedures. Fermentation resulted in a decrease in glycosyl glucose with the greatest reduction occurring with native yeast fermentations. Potentially volatile terpene levels were similar among wines following fermentation, the exceptions being those fermented using the Fermiblanc strain and native yeasts which showed lower concentrations. Storing wines for 45 days on the yeast lees (sur lie) reduced the glycosyl glucose and potential volatile terpene content with slight differences among treatments. Gas chromatographic analysis of selected glycosidically bound monoterpene alcohols, oxides, and aromatic alcohols showed a trend similar to the glycosyl glucose and potentially volatile terpenes following fermentation. Fermentation had a variable effect on the free linalool concentration. Levels of nerol and geraniol decreased while free α-terpeniol, hotrienol, furanic and pyranic linalool oxides, benzyl alcohol, and 2-phenylethanol increased. The concentrations of free volatiles following fermentation differed among yeasts, but differences were below the sensory thresholds reported for each compound.

A glance into the aroma of white wine
2021, White Wine Technology
Aroma is one of the important sensory characters of white wine. The volatile compounds in white wine are mainly affected by grape variety, ecological conditions, ripening quality, and fermentation methods. In this chapter, we discuss the differences in monoterpenes between intensely flavored Muscat, non-Muscat but aromatic varieties, and neutral varieties. Besides, the basic synthesis pathway of methoxypyrazine, C₁₃-norisoprenoids, and thiols in wine has been also presented. On the other hand, the aroma of white wine largely depends on natural conditions, such as climate, soil, cultivations, canopy management, and vinification methods. Moreover, nonvolatile components in matrix can cause matrix effects, which affect the aroma profile as well. Finally, a fast-growing determination method for key volatile compounds in wines, known as gas chromatography–olfactometry, is introduced.
The “cold revolution”. Present and future applications of cold-active enzymes and ice-binding proteins
2020, New Biotechnology
Citation Excerpt :
Low temperature processes may be of advantage to limit contamination [56,57], preserve volatile aromatic compounds [58] and increase storage capacity [59]. The need for cold-active enzymes is exemplified by the process of wine-making, where pectinases are added to improve the efficiency of juice extraction and the release of aroma and polyphenols [60]. Here, the fermentation temperature is 10–15 °C, much lower than the optimal temperature of mesophilic enzymes.
Psychrophilic organisms adapted to cold environments produce molecules of relevance for biotechnological application, in particular enzymes active at low temperatures and ice-binding proteins that control the growth of ice crystals. The use of cold-active enzymes supports low temperature processes that preserve heat labile compounds and can result, in some circumstances, in energy saving. Among the several possible applications in biotransformations, this paper focuses on reactions of relevance for the food industry and in molecular biology, representative of different market segments. Ice-binding proteins reduce tissues damage provoked by ice crystals and are therefore of relevance for frozen foods and for the cryopreservation of organs and tissues in the biomedical sector.
Comparison of enzymatic and acid hydrolysis of bound flavor compounds in model system and grapes
2016, Food Chemistry

After hydrolysis volatile aglycones are usually determined, although (Williams et al., 1995) proposed a method in which after hydrolysis glycosylic glucose (resulting from an equimolar amounts of aglycone and d-glucose released in hydrolysis) is determined, and provides information on the total pool of glycosylated grape metabolites. The glycosylic glucose measurement is a rapid estimation and generally parallels the analysis of aglycones (Zoecklein, Marcy, Williams, & Jasinski, 1997), and is even recommended for the implementation in the wineries to estimate the grape aroma potential (Arévalo Villena, Pérez, Úbeda, Navascués, & Briones, 2006). In the analysis of non-hydrolyzed glycosides by gas chromatography trifluoroacetylated derivatives were analyzed using methane negative chemical ionization mass spectrometry (Chassagne, Crouzet, Baumes, Lepoutre, & Bayonove, 1995).
Four synthesized terpenyl-ß-d-glycopyranosides (geranyl, neryl, citronellyl, myrtenyl) were subjected to enzymatic (AR 2000, pH 5.5) and acid (citric buffer, pH 2.5) hydrolysis. Decrease of glycosides was measured by HPLC and the volatiles released – by comprehensive gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC × GC–ToF-MS). Enzymatic hydrolysis performed for 21 h yielded 100% degree of hydrolysis for all glycosides but citronellyl (97%). Degree of acid hydrolysis was highly dependent on type of aglycone and the conditions. The highest degree was achieved for geraniol, followed by citronellol and nerol. Myrtenylo-ß-d-glycopyranoside was the most resistant glycoside to hydrolysis. Acid hydrolysis degree was also related to temperature/time combination, the highest being for 100 °C and 2 h. In a result of enzymatic hydrolysis 85–91% of total peak areas was terpene aglycone, whereas for acid hydrolysis the area of released terpene aglycone did not exceed 1.3% of total peak area indicating almost complete decomposition/transformation of terpenyl aglycone.
Effect of yeast strain on aroma compounds in Cabernet franc icewines
2015, LWT
Ontario Cabernet franc icewine musts were fermented using four yeasts [V1116 (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), EC1118 (Saccharomyces bayanus), VL1 (S. cerevisiae), spontaneous (SPON)]. The objective was to quantify aroma compounds by GC-MS, and to compare their concentrations between yeast treatments. These compounds had odor activity values >1 across all yeasts: isoamyl alcohol, 2-methyl-1-butanol, ethyl-2-methylbutyrate, isoamyl acetate, 3-octanone, ethyl hexanoate, hexanoic acid, citronellol, 1,1,6-trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene (TDN). EC1118 and SPON had most odor-active compounds quantified (28). SPON was unique in its production of geranyl acetone and ethyl benzoate. EC1118 had highest concentrations of 15 compounds including: four alcohols, seven esters, furfural, hexanoic acid, TDN, β-damascenone. SPON produced highest: 1-hexanol, phenylethanol, citronellol, nerol, β-phenyl acetate, γ-nonalactone. VL1 had highest: linalool, cis-rose oxide, ethyl octanoate, ethyl decanoate. V1116 had highest decanal. Most esters, alcohols, and ketones were correlated based on PCA, while citronellol, geranyl acetone, 1-hexanol, and 3-octanone were negatively correlated with most others. EC1118, V116, and VL1 wines were well-described by most esters, alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones. SPON was best described by β-phenylacetate, nerol, citronellol, geranyl acetone, 1-hexanol, and 3-octanone, suggesting different yeast species produced unique compounds or higher concentrations of specific compounds relative to other treatments.
Genetic analysis of geraniol metabolism during fermentation
2013, Food Microbiology

During fermentation the primary monoterpenic must composition is modified by wine yeasts such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyces uvarum and hybrids (Gamero et al., 2011; King and Dickinson, 2003). These yeasts have only a very limited capability to produce monoterpenoids, limited to a few μg/L amounts (Carrau et al., 2005), but they can release bound terpenoids thanks to their glycosidase activity (Fernández-González et al., 2003; Ugliano et al., 2006; Zoecklein et al., 1997) or modify the free terpenoids content (Fia et al., 2005; King and Dickinson, 2000). Adding known amounts of geraniol to must at the beginning of fermentation has revealed that a drastic reduction of monoterpenols level occurs at the beginning of fermentation (Vaudano et al., 2004).
Geraniol produced by grape is the main precursor of terpenols which play a key role in the floral aroma of white wines. We investigated the fate of geraniol during wine fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The volatile compounds produced during fermentation of a medium enriched with geraniol were extracted by Stir-bar sorptive extraction and analysed by GC–MS. We were able to detect and quantify geranyl acetate but also citronellyl- and neryl-acetate. The presence of these compounds partly explains the disparition of geraniol. The amounts of terpenyl esters are strain dependant. We demonstrated both by gene overexpression and gene-deletion the involvement of ATF1 enzyme but not ATF2 in the acetylation of terpenols. The affinity of ATF1 enzyme for several terpenols and for isoamyl alcohol was compared. We also demonstrated that OYE2 is the enzyme involved in geraniol to citronellol reduction. Fermenting strain deleted from OYE2 gene produces far less citronellol than wild type strain. Moreover lab strain over-expressing OYE2 allows 87% geraniol to citronellol reduction in bioconversion experiment compared to about 50% conversion with control strain.
Yeast-yeast interactions revealed by aromatic profile analysis of Sauvignon Blanc wine fermented by single or co-culture of non-Saccharomyces and Saccharomyces yeasts
2012, Food Microbiology
There has been increasing interest in the use of selected non-Saccharomyces yeasts in co-culture with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The main reason is that the multistarter fermentation process is thought to simulate indigenous fermentation, thus increasing wine aroma complexity while avoiding the risks linked to natural fermentation. However, multistarter fermentation is characterised by complex and largely unknown interactions between yeasts. Consequently the resulting wine quality is rather unpredictable. In order to better understand the interactions that take place between non-Saccharomyces and Saccharomyces yeasts during alcoholic fermentation, we analysed the volatile profiles of several mono-culture and co-cultures. Candida zemplinina, Torulaspora delbrueckii and Metschnikowia pulcherrima were used to conduct fermentations either in mono-culture or in co-culture with S. cerevisiae. Up to 48 volatile compounds belonging to different chemical families were quantified. For the first time, we show that C. zemplinina is a strong producer of terpenes and lactones. We demonstrate by means of multivariate analysis that different interactions exist between the co-cultures studied. We observed a synergistic effect on aromatic compound production when M. pulcherrima was in co-culture with S. cerevisiae. However a negative interaction was observed between C. zemplinina and S. cerevisiae, which resulted in a decrease in terpene and lactone content. These interactions are independent of biomass production. The aromatic profiles of T. delbrueckii and S. cerevisiae in mono-culture and in co-culture are very close, and are biomass-dependent, reflecting a neutral interaction. This study reveals that a whole family of compounds could be altered by such interactions. These results suggest that the entire metabolic pathway is affected by these interactions.
