Ginovart M, Carbó R, Portell X. Adaptation of Saccharomyces to High Glucose Concentrations and Its Impact on Growth Kinetics of Alcoholic Fermentations. Microorganisms 2024; 12:1449.

Abstract
Prior adaptation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to the fermentation medium ensures its implantation and success in alcoholic fermentations. Fermentation kinetics can be characterized with mathematical models to objectively measure the success of adaptation and growth. The study aims at assessing and comparing two pre-culture procedures using, respectively, one or two adaptation steps, analyzing the impact of different initial glucose concentrations on the fermentation profiles of S. cerevisiae cultures, and assessing the performance of three predictive growth models (Buchanan's, modified Gompertz, and Baranyi and Roberts models) under varied initial glucose concentrations. We concluded that both protocols produced S. cerevisiae pre-cultures with similar viability and biomass increase, which suggests that short protocols may be more cost-effective. Furthermore, the study highlights the need of inoculating a high S. cerevisiae population to minimize the depletion of dissolved oxygen in the medium and to ensure that glucose is predominantly directed toward the ethanol formation at early fermentative steps. This study shows that the relationship between kinetic parameters is model-dependent, which hinders inter-study comparisons and stresses the need for standardized growth models. We advocate for the generalized use of confidence intervals of the kinetic parameters to facilitate objective inter-study comparisons.

[PMID: 39064829 PMCID: PMC11279373 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29143250] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2024] [Revised: 06/30/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The fermentation process has a significant impact on the aromatic profile of wines, particularly in relation to the difference in fermentation matrix caused by grape varieties. This study investigates the leaching and evolution patterns of aroma compounds in Vitis vinifera L. Marselan and Merlot during an industrial-scale vinification process, including the stages of cold soak, alcohol fermentation, malolactic fermentation, and one-year bottle storage. The emphasis is on the differences between the two varieties. The results indicated that most alcohols were rapidly leached during the cold soak stage. Certain C6 alcohols, terpenes, and norisoprenoids showed faster leaching rates in 'Marselan', compared to 'Merlot'. Some branched chain fatty-acid esters, such as ethyl 3-methylbutyrate, ethyl 2-methylbutyrate, and ethyl lactate, consistently increased during the fermentation and bottling stages, with faster accumulation observed in 'Marselan'. The study combines the Orthogonal Partial Least Squares-Discriminant Analysis (OPLS-DA) model based on odor activity values to elucidate the accumulation of these ethyl esters during bottle storage, compensating for the reduction in fruity aroma resulting from decreased levels of (E)-β-damascenone. The 'Marselan' wine exhibited a more pronounced floral aroma due to its higher level of linalool, compared to the 'Merlot' wine. The study unveils the distinctive variation patterns of aroma compounds from grapes to wine across grape varieties. This provides a theoretical framework for the precise regulation of wine aroma and flavor, and holds significant production value.

Abstract
Pyranoanthocyanin (PACN) is a class of anthocyanin (ACN)-derived pigments found in aged red wines, which has certain advantages over the prototype ACN in terms of stability, and biological activity. However, the efficiency and yield of PACNs in the natural fermentation system are low. This article summarizes five frequently employed physical processing techniques that can accelerate the formation of PACN. From a mechanistic standpoint, these techniques can produce large amounts of active substances, further promoting the extracellular release of phenolics and the formation of some cofactors and PACNs' pyran rings. Precursor substances and environmental factors affecting PACN yields are also pointed out. It mainly included the parent ring substitution in ACNs, the type and quantity of glycosides, the electron donating ability and concentration of cofactors, etc. Thus, this article aims to provide an overview of the advancements in processing techniques, thereby facilitating their wider utilization in the food and beverage industry.

Abstract
Yeast and lactic acid bacteria are widely used in fermented foods and the nutrients and metabolites produced by fermentation have cholesterol degrading effects. This study utilized Xinjiang Aksu apples as the material to optimize the sequential fermentation process of different strains and construct a fermentation kinetic model to develop a functional fermentation product with low-sugar, probiotics-rich and lipid-lowering properties. The sequential fermentation of dealcoholized apple juice with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus plantarum was optimized by response surface design, based on which a sequential fermentation kinetic model was constructed. The changes of short-chain fatty acids, cholesterol elimination rate and hydrophobic properties during the fermentation process were studied. The results showed that the kinetic model established under the optimal conditions could effectively predict the dynamic changes of the basic indexes during the fermentation process. After fermentation, the viable number of L. plantarum was 4.96 × 108 CFU/mL, short-chain fatty acids increased, the cholesterol elimination rate reached 45.06%, and the hydrophobicity was 51.37%, which had favorable lipid-lowering properties and hydrophobic effect. This research will provide a theoretical basis and technical support for the monitoring of microbial dynamics and functionalization development of sequentially fermented apple juice with different strains.

Abstract
Saccharomyces non-cerevisiae yeasts are gaining momentum in wine fermentation due to their potential to reduce ethanol content and achieve attractive aroma profiles. However, the design of the fermentation process for new species requires intensive experimentation. The use of mechanistic models could automate process design, yet to date, most fermentation models have focused on primary metabolism. Therefore, these models do not provide insight into the production of secondary metabolites essential for wine quality, such as aromas. In this work, we formulate a continuous model that accounts for the physiological status of yeast, that is, exponential growth, growth under nitrogen starvation and transition to stationary or decay phases. To do so, we assumed that nitrogen starvation is associated with carbohydrate accumulation and the induction of a set of transcriptional changes associated with the stationary phase. The model accurately described the dynamics of time series data for biomass and primary and secondary metabolites obtained for various yeast species in single culture fermentations. We also used the proposed model to explore different process designs, showing how the addition of nitrogen could affect the aromatic profile of wine. This study underlines the potential of incorporating yeast physiology into batch fermentation modelling and provides a new means of automating process design.

Abstract
Globally, the red wine market experienced a rapid growth in the last decade, due to the superior colour, taste, and nutritional quality. The red grapes used for vinification have individual characteristics varying within the regional environment. In this study, the quality of seven grape cultivars, including Marselan, Yan 73, Muscat Hamburg, Kadarka, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Crimpose, and their corresponding wines, were investigated based on high-performance liquid chromatography and headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled to gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. These techniques were performed to analyze the chemical compositions and volatile compounds of the tested samples, respectively. The results showed that tartaric acid (29.96% to 73.45%) and rutin (12.53% to 56.54%) were the dominant organic acid and phenolic compounds in grapes, respectively. Higher concentrations of organic acids and phenolic compounds, and the types of volatile compounds, were observed to be highest in the Cabernet Sauvignon grape. The antioxidant activity of wines ranged from 6.74 to 102.68 mmol TE/L, and Yan 73 wine had the highest antioxidant activity. A total of 69 volatile compounds consisting of 17 alcohols, 26 esters, 5 aldehydes, 9 acids, 7 ketones, and 5 other volatile compounds were identified in all tested wines, and 11 important aroma active substances (odor activity value > 1) were selected, consisting of β-ionone, phenethyl acetate, geranyl acetate, ethyl 9-decenoate, ethyl caprate, ethyl pelargonate, decanal, ethyl caprylate, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, methyl 2-hexenoate, and ethyl hexanoate, which endow wines with a unique aroma. This work clearly describes the chemical and sensory characteristics of seven red grape cultivars in Xinjiang of China and provides diversity options for cultivars for winemaking.

Abstract
White wine fermentations are typically performed in an entirely batchwise manner, with yeast nutrients only added at the beginning of fermentation. This leads to slow (2+ weeks) fermentation cycle times, with large capital expenditures required to increase winery processing capacity. Prior attempts to speed fermentations via increasing temperature have resulted in unpalatable wine, and continuous fermentation processing is uneconomical and impractical in the winery setting. In this work, we measured yeast nutrient consumption as a function of fermentation progression at the 300 mL scale, and from this derived an equation to optimize yeast nutrient concentration as a function of fermentation progression. These findings were applied at the pilot scale in 150 L fermentors, which resulted in a 60% cycle time reduction versus “best practices” control fermentations. The resultant wines were compared via GC-MS as well as by a trained sensory panel. Organoleptic analysis found statistically significant, but overall, small differences in sensory characteristics between the control and process intensified wines. This intensified fermentation process shows great promise for fermented beverage producers wishing to maximize equipment utilization and debottleneck wineries or other beverage fermentation facilities.

Abstract
Wine production has food safety hazards. A Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system makes it possible to identify, evaluate, and control significant food safety hazards throughout the wine production process. The Prerequisites Programs (PPRs) and HACCP performance in Protected Denomination of Origin “Vinos de Madrid” wineries were analyzed. Winery performances were evaluated for every critical control point (CCPs) in each winemaking process stage, including their implementation of PPR and HACCP principles. This study was developed through a survey of 55 questions divided into 11 sections, and it was conducted on a sample of 21 wineries. The results revealed that the CCPs worst performance level are for the control of metals (Cd, Pb, As) in grapes and fungicides or pesticide control in the harvest reception. A total of 91.5% of the wineries had implemented a prerequisites program (PPRs), regardless of their annual wine production. However, there was variability in the type of prerequisite plans, training, level of knowledge of operators, and annual budget allocation. Three out of four wineries had an HACCP, although corrective action procedures and verification procedures had the lowest and the worst HACCP practical implementation. The significant barriers for HACCP performance in wineries are linked with a lack of food safety staff training, low involvement of all staff in food safety tasks, and poor application of CCP chemical and microbiologic control methods.

Abstract
Fermented foods are important parts of traditional food culture with a long history worldwide. Abundant nutritional materials and open fermentation contribute to the diversity of microorganisms, resulting in unique product quality and flavor. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), as important part of traditional fermented foods, play a decisive role in the quality and safety of fermented foods. Reproduction and metabolic of microorganisms drive the food fermentation, and microbial interaction plays a major role in the fermentation process. Nowadays, LAB have attracted considerable interest due to their potentialities to add functional properties to certain foods or as supplements along with the research of gut microbiome. This review focuses on the characteristics of diversity and variability of LAB in traditional fermented foods, and describes the principal mechanisms involved in the flavor formation dominated by LAB. Moreover, microbial interactions and their mechanisms in fermented foods are presented. They provide a theoretical basis for exploiting LAB in fermented foods and improving the quality of traditional fermented foods. The traditional fermented food industry should face the challenge of equipment automation, green manufacturing, and quality control and safety in the production.

Abstract
Knowledge of the mathematical models of the fermentation processes is indispensable for their simulation and optimization and for the design and synthesis of the applicable control systems. The paper focuses on determining a dynamic mathematical model of the milk fermentation process taking place in a batch bioreactor. Models in the literature describe milk fermentation in batch bioreactors as an autonomous system. They do not enable the analysis of the effect of temperature changes on the metabolism during fermentation. In the presented extensive multidisciplinary study, we have developed a new mathematical model that considers the impact of temperature changes on the dynamics of the CO2 produced during fermentation in the batch bioreactor. Based on laboratory tests and theoretical analysis, the appropriate structure of the temperature-considered dynamic model was first determined. Next, the model parameters of the fermentation process in the laboratory bioreactor were identified by means of particle swarm optimization. Finally, the experiments with the laboratory batch bioreactor were compared with the simulations to verify the derived mathematical model. The developed model proved to be very suitable for simulations, and, above all, it enables the design and synthesis of a control system for batch bioreactors.

Abstract
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an essential microorganism in food biotechnology; particularly, in wine and beer making. During wine fermentation, yeasts transform sugars present in the grape juice into ethanol and carbon dioxide. The process occurs in batch conditions and is, for the most part, an anaerobic process. Previous studies linked limited-nitrogen conditions with problematic fermentations, with negative consequences for the performance of the process and the quality of the final product. It is, therefore, of the highest interest to anticipate such problems through mathematical models. Here we propose a model to explain fermentations under nitrogen-limited anaerobic conditions. We separated the biomass formation into two phases: growth and carbohydrate accumulation. Growth was modelled using the well-known Monod equation while carbohydrate accumulation was modelled by an empirical function, analogous to a proportional controller activated by the limitation of available nitrogen. We also proposed to formulate the fermentation rate as a function of the total protein content when relevant data are available. The final model was used to successfully explain experiments taken from the literature, performed under normal and nitrogen-limited conditions. Our results revealed that Monod model is insufficient to explain biomass formation kinetics in nitrogen-limited fermentations of S. cerevisiae. The goodness-of-fit of the herewith proposed model is superior to that of previously published models, offering the means to predict, and thus control fermentations. Importance: Problematic fermentations still occur in the winemaking industrial practise. Problems include sluggish rates of fermentation, which have been linked to insufficient levels of assimilable nitrogen. Data and relevant models can help anticipate poor fermentation performance. In this work, we proposed a model to predict biomass growth and fermentation rate under nitrogen-limited conditions and tested its performance with previously published experimental data. Our results show that the well-known Monod equation does not suffice to explain biomass formation.

Abstract
The management of wineries for industrial red winemaking is limited by the capacity and availability of fermentation tanks over the harvest season. The winemakers aim to optimize the wine quality, the fermentative maceration length, and the fermentation tank’s productive cycle simultaneously. Maceration in varietal wine production is carried out until a specific sugar content (digging-out point) is attained, finishing before alcoholic fermentation. Winemakers have found that by trial and error handling of the digging-out point, they can improve the winery capacity and production cost. In this work, we develop an optimal control problem for managing the digging-out point considering two objectives associated with process efficiency and costs. A good compromise between these objectives was found by applying multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques and the knee point. Two control strategies were compared: free nutrition and traditional nutrition. TOPSIS and LINMAP algorithms were used to choose the most suitable strategy that coincided with the knee point. The preferred option was nitrogen addition only at the beginning of fermentation (6.6–10.6 g/hL of DAP) and a high fermentation temperature (30 °C), yielding the desired digging-out point with a small error (6–9 g/L).
