Abstract


In recent years, ample research has focused on applying wild (especially non-Saccharomyces) yeasts in producing alcoholic beverages. Common characteristics of wild yeast strains include simultaneous high production of fruity and floral aroma compounds and low ethanol production. In this study, mead starter cultures were selected based on preliminary screening of wild yeast strains from a Brazilian culture collection (n = 63) for their ability to produce aroma-active compounds. The selected strains included one strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and three non-Saccharomyces strains (Pichia jadinii, Torulaspora delbrueckii, and Kluyveromyces lactis). These strains were used to ferment honey must prepared with Aroeira honey, adjusted to 24°Brix, which took 36 days to complete. Single culture fermentations and co-fermentations with S. cerevisiae and non-Saccharomyces strains were carried out. The quality of the produced beverages was evaluated by sugar consumption and production of alcohols and organic acids, analyzed with high-performance liquid chromatography. The volatile organic compound composition was analyzed with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Meads with various ethanol amounts (4.7-11.0% v/v) and residual sugar contents (70.81-160.25 g l-1) were produced. In addition, in both single-strain fermentation and co-fermentation with S. cerevisiae, meads produced with either Torulaspora delbrueckii or Kluyveromyces lactis had a roughly three-fold higher content of honey-aroma compound phenethyl acetate and a higher hedonic impression score than meads produced with only S. cerevisiae. These results demonstrated non-Saccharomyces yeasts' ability to increase aroma complexity and improve the sensory quality of low-alcoholic meads.
