Abstract

This study attempted to improve the polyphenol and volatile aroma compound contents in Nanfeng tangerine wines using non-Saccharomyces yeast and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The effects of fermentation with pure cultures of Candida ethanolica, Hanseniaspora guilliermondii and Hanseniaspora thailandica, as well as in sequential and mixed inoculations (1:1 or 1:100 ratio) with S. cerevisiae in Nanfeng tangerine wines were evaluated. C. ethanolica was found to produce the most polyphenols (138.78 mg/L) during pure fermentation, while H. guilliermondii produced the most volatile aroma compounds (442.34 mg/L). The polyphenol content produced during sequential fermentation with S. cerevisiae and H. guilliermondii (140.24 mg/L) or C. ethanolica (140.21 mg/L) was significantly higher than other co-fermentations. Meanwhile, the volatile aroma compounds were found to be more abundant in S. cerevisiae/H. guilliermondii mixed fermentation (1:1 ratio) (588.35 mg/L) or S. cerevisiae/H. guilliermondii sequential fermentation (549.31 mg/L). Thus, S. cerevisiae/H. guilliermondii sequential fermentation could considerably boost the polyphenol and volatile aroma component contents in Nanfeng tangerine wines. The findings of this study can be used to drive strategies to increase the polyphenol content and sensory quality of tangerine wines and provide a reference for selecting the co-fermentation styles for non-Saccharomyces yeast and S. cerevisiae in fruit wine fermentation.

  • To evaluate the effects of pure fermentation, sequential fermentation, 1:1 mixed fermentation and 1:100 mixed fermentation on the growth of yeast, the growth kinetics and sugar consumption kinetics of yeast strains during different fermentation methods were analyzed (Figure 1)

  • Pure fermentation with H. guilliermondii (Hg) produced a higher level of volatile aroma components than pure fermentation with other yeasts

Introduction

Key Laboratory of Protection and Utilization of Subtropic Plant Resources of Jiangxi Province, College of Life Sciences, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330022, China. This study attempted to improve the polyphenol and volatile aroma compound contents in Nanfeng tangerine wines using non-Saccharomyces yeast and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. C. ethanolica was found to produce the most polyphenols (138.78 mg/L) during pure fermentation, while H. guilliermondii produced the most volatile aroma compounds (442.34 mg/L). S. cerevisiae/H. guilliermondii sequential fermentation could considerably boost the polyphenol and volatile aroma component contents in Nanfeng tangerine wines. The findings of this study can be used to drive strategies to increase the polyphenol content and sensory quality of tangerine wines and provide a reference for selecting the co-fermentation styles for non-Saccharomyces yeast and S. cerevisiae in fruit wine fermentation. Tangerine wines retain the flavor of Nanfeng tangerines but are associated with the production of a variety of flavor components and biologically active compounds during the alcoholic fermentation process [3], including polyphenols [4]. Tangerine wines are produced to reduce surplus inventory and fruit degradation caused by overproduction; this helps increase the shelf life and value of Nanfeng tangerines [3,5,6]
