Co-inoculations of Lachancea thermotolerans with different Hanseniaspora spp.: Acidification, aroma, biocompatibility, and effects of nutrients in wine
Abstract
.
The use of non-Saccharomyces yeast in the winemaking industry and even more their co-inoculations to maximize their growth and to express phenotypic characteristic is gaining more and more relevance. This study aimed to shed light on the biocompatibilities between Lachancea thermotolerans and Hanseniaspora spp., using different types of nutrients and considering the effect on Yeast Assimilable Nitrogen (YAN), at low temperature (16 degrees C) and medium SO2 (50 mg/L), in white must. L. thermotolerans has been used for its positive effect on pH reduction and Hanseniaspora spp. for improving the sensory profile. The behaviour of these yeasts was evaluated in coinoculation, always finishing the fermentation with the sequential inoculation of S. cerevisiae. Significant results were obtained on the population count (CFU/mL) in CHROMagarTM, with higher populations of Hanseniaspora spp. with respect to L. thermotolerans. Fermentations with L. thermotolerans/H. vineae, showed inhibition of acidification, generating up to 0.41 g/L of lactic acid. On the contrary, a synergistic effect when L. thermotolerans/H. opuntiae was used, achieved 2.44 g/L of lactic acid and a pH reduction of up to 0.16 and always more significant with Nutrient Vit BlancTM. At the same time ethanol concentration decreased by 3.4 % and volatile acidity never exceeded 0.5 g/L. Aromatic composition was analysed and it was found that all fermentations retained more aromatic esters and that on day 7 the amount of 2-phenylethyl acetate was at least 3 times higher in all fermentations compared to the control (Sc + Nutrient Vit BlancTM) which had 5.96 mg/L. Less yellow intensity (-17.3 %) typical of oxidation were observed in all fermentations in which Nutrient Vit BlancTM had been used and in the sensory analysis the co-inoculations with H. vineae generated better scores.
