Pyracantha fortuneana (P. fortuneana), as a medicinal and edible plant resource, is rich in nutrients. In order to screen the high quality yeast used in Firebone fruit wine, 12 strains of yeast were isolated and purified from P. fortuneana fermentation broth by traditional pure culture method. They were identified by molecular biology as Pichia kudriavzevii (P. kudriavzevii) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae), respectively. Strain HJ-2 could grow normally at 30℃, alcohol content 15%, SO₂ mass concentration 360 mg/L, pH 3.2, sucrose mass concentration 400 g/L and glucose mass concentration 250 g/L. Strain HJ-6 could grow normally at 30℃, alcohol content 3%, SO₂ concentration 360 mg/L, pH 3.2, sucrose concentration 250 g/L, glucose concentration 300 g/L. Based on the technological characteristics of fruit wine, S. cerevisiae HJ-2 has the potential of brewing P. fortuneana fruit wine. P. kudriavzevii HJ-6 has a low tolerance to ethanol and is suitable for the production of fermented beverages such as low-alcohol wine or beer.
