The aim of the present study was to investigate the production of extracellular enzymes in a number of twenty six autochtonous Saccharomyces and nonSaccharomyces strains selected in Dealu Mare region for wine production. The strains were screened for the production of extracellular b-glucosidase, esterase, pectinase and protease activity by inoculation the yeast strains onto selective media. All Saccharomyces tested strains showed at least two enzymatic activities while nonSaccharomyces strains showed activity at least for one enzyme. The weakest activity was recorded in case of β-glucosidase. Most of the tested strains exhibit more or less intense activity for polygalacturonase/pectinase and protease. This study put into evidence the potential of autochtonous and especially of non-Saccharomyces strains as source of production of secondary compounds which can play an important role in improving the quality of wines.

The aromatic metabolites derived from yeast metabolism determine the characteristics of aroma and taste in wines, so they are considered of great industrial interest. Volatile esters represent the most important group and therefore, their presence is extremely important for the flavor profile of the wine. In this work, we use and compare two Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strains: P29, typical of sparkling wines resulting of second fermentation in a closed bottle; G1, a flor yeast responsible for the biological aging of Sherry wines. We aimed to analyze and compare the effect of endogenous CO2 overpressure on esters metabolism with the proteins related in these yeast strains, to understand the yeast fermentation process in sparkling wines. For this purpose, protein identification was carried out using the OFFGEL fractionator and the LTQ Orbitrap, following the detection and quantification of esters with gas chromatograph coupled to flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and stir-bar sorptive extraction, followed by thermal desorption and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SBSE-TD-GC-MS). Six acetate esters, fourteen ethyl esters, and five proteins involved in esters metabolism were identified. Moreover, significant correlations were established between esters and proteins. Both strains showed similar behavior. According to these results, the use of this flor yeast may be proposed for the sparkling wine production and enhance the diversity and the typicity of sparkling wine yeasts.

Two commercial yeast strains with reduced alcohol production in comparison with a commercial yeast strain with common alcohol yield were assed for their suitability in sparkling wine production according to the traditional bottle fermentation. The different yeast strains were applied for the first fermentation. As expected the base wine differed in terms alcohol. Furthermore the yeast with lower alcohol content showed higher values of glycerol, higher arginine content and in the same time reduced levels of proline after fermentation. However those samples showed increased volatile acidity values, compared to the control wines. The later bottle fermentation with a uniform yeast strain showed similar fermentation kinetics for all four lots. Sensory evaluation showed no clear differences between the sparkling wines that were stored 9 months on the lees. The base wines nevertheless clearly differed from each other. Besides the increased production of volatile acidity, the tested yeast strains with lower alcohol production appear very promising for the sparkling wine industry to face the generally rising alcohol contents worldwide.

Одним из важных современных направлений виноделия является получение высококачественных вин с узнаваемой сортовой индивидуальностью. В данном аспекте наиболее привлекательными для потребителя являются вина из мускатных сортов винограда. Pабота посвящена изучению влияния штаммов дрожжей рода Saccharomyces на формирование сортового аромата виноматериалов из винограда сорта Цитронный Магарача и отбору перспективных штаммов для их производства. Объектами исследования являлись виноматериалы, приготовленные с использованием 20 штаммов дрожжей вида S. cerevisiae. В результате хроматографического анализа было идентифицировано 17 компонентов, относящихся к различным группам химических соединений: высшим спиртам, сложным эфирам, терпеновым спиртам. Исследуемые штаммы способствовали накоплению в виноматериалах терпеновых спиртов в концентрации от 0,46 до 1,51 мг/л, высших спиртов - от 153,86 до 263,89 мг/л, сложных эфиров - от 3,96 до 19,09 мг/л. По результатам органолептической оценки опытных образцов для производства вин из винограда сорта Цитронный Магарача рекомендованы два коллекционных штамма Алиготе М (I-76) и Мускат 4 (Р) (I-637) из КМВ «Магарач». Использование данных штаммов позволило получить виноматериалы с ярким развитым ароматом цветочно-фруктового направления с проявлением тонов цитрусовых и розы. Отмечено, что штамм Алиготе М (I-76) способствовал обогащению виноматериалов терпеновыми спиртами и сложными эфирами, штамм Мускат 4 (Р) (I-637) - сложными эфирами. One of the important modern trends in winemaking is the production of high quality wines with recognizable varietal identity. In this aspect, the most attractive for consumers are the wines from muscat grape varieties. The work is devoted to the study of the effect of yeast strains of the Saccharomyces genus on the formation of varietal aroma of base wines from grapes of 'Tsitronnyi Magaracha' variety and selection of promising strains for their production. The objects of the study were base wines prepared using 20 strains of S. cerevisiae yeast species. As a result of chromatographic analysis, 17 components of various groups of chemical compounds were identified: higher alcohols, esters, terpene alcohols. The studied strains contributed to the accumulation of terpene alcohols in concentration from 0.46 to 1.51 mg/l, higher alcohols - from 153.86 to 263.89 mg/l, esters - from 3.96 to 19.09 mg/l. According to the results of organoleptic evaluation of experimental samples for wine production from grapes of 'Tsitronnyi Magaracha' variety, two strains 'Aligote M' (I-76) and 'Muscat 4' (P) (I-637) from the Magarach Collection of Microorganisms of Winemaking are recommended. The use of these strains have made it possible to obtain base wines with advanced rich aroma of a floral-fruity direction with demonstration of citrus and rose hues. It was noted that the strain 'Aligote M' (I-76) contributed to the enrichment of base wines with terpene alcohols and esters, the strain 'Muscat 4' (P) (I-637) - with esters.

Sparkling wine production using the traditional method involves a second fermentation of still wines in bottles, followed by prolonged aging on lees. The key factors affecting the organoleptic profiles of these wines are the grape varieties, the chemical and sensory attributes of the base wines elaborated, the yeast strains used for first and second fermentation, and the winery practices. While Chardonnay and Pinot noir are gold standard grape varieties in sparkling wine production, other valuable grape cultivars are used worldwide to elaborate highly reputable sparkling wines. Fundamental research on the chemical and sensory profiles of innovative sparkling wines produced by the traditional method, using non-conventional grape varieties and novel yeast strains for first and/or second fermentation, is accompanying their market diversification. In this review, we summarize relevant aspects of sparkling wine production using the traditional method and non-conventional grape varieties and yeast starters.

The traditional method for sparkling wine making consists of a second fermentation of a base wine followed by ageing in the same bottle that reaches the consumers. Nitrogen metabolism is the second most important process after carbon and takes place during wine fermentation by yeast. Amino acids are the most numerous nitrogen compounds released by this process. They contribute to the organoleptic properties of the wines and, therefore, to their sensory quality. The main objective of this study is to compare the differential proteomic response of amino acid metabolism, specifically their proteins and their interactions in the G1 strain (unconventional yeast) during sparkling wine production versus the conventional P29 strain. One of the new trends in winemaking is the improvement of the organoleptic diversity of wine. We propose the use of unconventional yeast that shows desirable characteristics for the industry. For this purpose, these two yeasts were grown at sealed bottle conditions for the second fermentation (Champenoise method). No differences were obtained in the middle of fermentation between the yeast strains. The number of proteins identified, and the relationships established, were similar, highlighting lysine metabolism. At the end of the second fermentation, the difference between each strain was remarkable. Hardly any proteins were identified in unconventional versus conventional yeast. However, in both strains, the metabolism of sulfur amino acids, methionine, and cysteine obtained a greater number of proteins involved in these processes. The release of these amino acids to the medium would allow the yeast to balance the internal redox potential by reoxidation of NADPH. This study is focused on the search for a more complete knowledge of yeast metabolism, specifically the metabolism of amino acids, which are key compounds during the second fermentation.

Apoptosis and later autolysis are biological processes which take place in Saccharomyces cerevisiae during industrial fermentation processes, which involve costly and time-consuming aging periods. Therefore, the identification of potential cell death biomarkers can contribute to the creation of a long-term strategy in order to improve and accelerate the winemaking process. Here, we performed a proteomic analysis based on the detection of possible apoptosis and autolysis protein biomarkers in two industrial yeast strains commonly used in post-fermentative processes (sparkling wine secondary fermentation and biological aging) under typical sparkling wine elaboration conditions. Pressure had a negatively effect on viability for flor yeast, whereas the sparkling wine strain seems to be more adapted to these conditions. Flor yeast strain experienced an increase in content of apoptosis-related proteins, glucanases and vacuolar proteases at the first month of aging. Significant correlations between viability and apoptosis proteins were established in both yeast strains. Multivariate analysis based on the proteome of each process allowed to distinguish among samples and strains. The proteomic profile obtained in this study could provide useful information on the selection of wine strains and yeast behavior during sparkling wine elaboration. Additionally, the use of flor yeasts for sparkling wine improvement and elaboration is proposed.

Speeding up grape must fermentation would be of great economic benefit. We subjected Saccharomyces cerevisiae VIN13 and two recombinant VIN13-strains expressing ATF1 alleles under two different promoters (either PGK1 or HXT7) to four styles of grape must fermentations; we then assessed the effect of constantly stirring a must fermentation (isomixing). The four different fermentation setups were as follows: isomixed, closed in an ANKOM Rf Gas productions system; isomixed, open in a stirred tall tube cylinder; static, closed constituting a conventional fermentation in a wine bottle equipped with an airlock and static; and static, open in a tall tube cylinder (without stirring). We report on major fermentation parameters and the volatile aroma compositions generated in the finished wines. The primary fermentations of the strains subjected to constant stirring finished after 7 days, whereas the static fermentations reached dryness after 19 days. The wines derived from isomixed fermentations produced approximately 0.7% less ethanol compared to the unstirred fermentations. The speed that the isomixed fermentation took to reach completion may provide an alternative to static fermentations in the preparation of base wines for sparkling wine production. The observed increase of volatiles of isomixed fermentations merits further investigation.
