Abstract
Fino Sherry wine undergoes biological aging carried out by a velum of flor yeast within a traditional dynamic system known as "criaderas and solera". The complex microbiota of biofilm-forming Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains play a crucial role in shaping the distinctive organoleptic profile of these types of wines. For this reason, the aim of this study is to analyze the changes produced by different flor yeast strains in the volatilome and the aminogram of different wines from the criaderas and solera system during biological aging in the laboratory, simulating a flor yeast velum condition at different stages of the system. Results suggest that each strain metabolizes wine differently, finding that depending on the wine, some strains are better suited for the process than others. In addition, it is found that the content of biogenic amines in Fino Sherry wines, previously attributed to malolactic bacteria, varies according to the yeast strain metabolizing the wine, suggesting that flor yeast could be used to modify biogenic amines content during biological aging. Results indicate that the use of selected flor yeast starters in biological aging may be of interest to modulate some parameters during Fino Sherry wine aging.

[PMID: 39170578 PMCID: PMC11336860 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e35688] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2024] [Revised: 07/26/2024] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Understanding the shelf life of wine is complex and involves factors such as aroma preservation, flavour development and market acceptance. Ageing potential, crucial for flavour complexity, exposes wine to oxidation, influenced by oxygen, temperature and light, with an impact on quality. This type of oxidation is non-enzymatic, is catalyzed by metal ions and alters colour and flavour. Scope and approach This review examines the dynamics of wine preservation, focusing on oxidation and the impact of closure. Corks allow controlled oxygen transfer, while screw caps offer a nearly hermetic closure. Oxygen transfer rates vary, with natural corks having fluctuating rates and synthetic corks causing over-exposure. Additives such as sulphur dioxide and alternative substitute such as lysozyme and ascorbic acid are examined for their role in preventing oxidation and ensuring microbiological stability. Key findings and conclusions Closure choice significantly affects wine preservation. Balancing oxygen exposure, temperature, and light is vital. Effective management, including the strategic use of preservatives and additives, is crucial for maintaining quality and extending shelf life. This review underscores the delicate equilibrium necessary for preserving wine quality from production to consumption.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2024; 12:1339093. [PMID: 38303913 PMCID: PMC10830724 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2024.1339093] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Xylitol is a pentose-polyol widely applied in the food and pharmaceutical industry. It can be produced from lignocellulosic biomass, valorizing second-generation feedstocks. Biotechnological production of xylitol requires scalable solutions suitable for industrial scale processes. Immobilized-cells systems offer numerous advantages. Although fungal pellet carriers have gained attention, their application in xylitol production remains unexplored. In this study, the yeast strain P. fermentans WC 1507 was employed for xylitol production. The optimal conditions were observed with free-cell cultures at pH above 3.5, low oxygenation, and medium containing (NH4)2SO4 and yeast extract as nitrogen sources (xylitol titer 79.4 g/L, YP/S 66.3%, and volumetric productivity 1.3 g/L/h). Yeast cells were immobilized using inactive Aspergillus oryzae pellet mycelial carrier (MC) and alginate beads (AB) and were tested in flasks over three consecutive production runs. Additionally, the effect of a 0.2% w/v alginate layer, coating the outer surface of the carriers (cMC and cAB, respectively), was examined. While YP/S values observed with both immobilized and free cells were similar, the immobilized cells exhibited lower final xylitol titer and volumetric productivity, likely due to mass transfer limitations. AB and cAB outperformed MC and cMC. The uncoated AB carriers were tested in a laboratory-scale airlift bioreactor, which demonstrated a progressive increase in xylitol production in a repeated batch process: in the third run, a xylitol titer of 63.0 g/L, YP/S of 61.5%, and volumetric productivity of 0.52 g/L/h were achieved. This study confirmed P. fermentans WC 1507 as a promising strain for xylitol production in both free- and entrapped-cells systems. Considering the performance of the wild strain, a metabolic engineering intervention aiming at further improving the efficiency of xylitol production could be justified. MC and AB proved to be viable supports for cell immobilization, but additional process development is necessary to identify the optimal bioreactor configuration and fermentation conditions.
