Abstract
Higher alcohols (HAs) and acetate esters (AEs) produced by yeasts are two important volatile flavor substances in fermented alcoholic beverages (FABs). To improve the FABs overall quality, lab-scale huangjiu brewing and systematic evaluation were performed using 171 Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains. Finally, two S. cerevisiae strains that produced lower HAs and higher AEs were obtained and named jiangnan1# and jiangnan3#, respectively. The results of production-scale huangjiu fermentation indicated that HAs produced by jiangnan1# sample decreased by 24.99 %, and AEs produced by jiangnan1# increased by 36.35 %. Sensory evaluation showed that the acidic taste, honey aroma attribute intensity were higher in 85# huagnjiu, and the fruity aroma attribute intensity was higher in jiangnan1# huangjiu (P < 0.01). Moreover, urea and ethyl carbamate produced by jiangnan1# strain were degraded by 13.89 % and 45.51 % compared with those of the control strain 85#, indicating the positive effects of jiangnan1# strain on health and safety. Thus, the obtained S. cerevisiae strains in this study can better enhance the flavor and improve the drinking safety and comfort of huangjiu.
