ABSTRACT

The transformation of grape must into wine is a complex microbiological process and is the product of the combined action of several genera and species of yeasts, dominated in the intermediate and final stages of fermentation by an alcohol-tolerant Saccharomyces sp. Current assay characterizes 42 autochthonous yeasts, isolated from the state of Paraná, southern Brazil, according to the following oenological properties: H2S production, fermentation rate, flocculation capacity, and killer phenotype (killer, sensitive and neutral characteristics). Current analysis is the first to evaluate killer phenotype in yeasts isolated from the State of Paraná, Brazil. With regard to their oenological traits, the yeasts evaluated were not suitable for winemaking and suggested that, depending on the harvest, the winemakers may face problems during the spontaneous wine production process.


A transformação do mosto de uva em vinho é um processo microbiológico complexo, resultado da ação combinada de diferentes gêneros e espécies de leveduras, no qual, entretanto, prevalece uma levedura, Saccharomyces sp. álcool-tolerante nos estágios intermediário e final da fermentação alcoólica. O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar 42 leveduras autóctones isoladas da região sul do Brasil (Estado do Paraná) de acordo com as seguintes características enológicas: produção de H2S, taxa de fermentação, capacidade de floculação e fenótipo killer (características killer, sensível e neutra). Este estudo é o primeiro a avaliar fenótipo killer em leveduras isoladas do estado do Paraná. Com relação às características enológicas, as leveduras avaliadas não se mostraram promissoras para vinificação, sugerindo que, conforme a safra, o vinicultor pode enfrentar problemas durante o processo de fermentação espontânea das uvas para a elaboração de vinho.

ABSTRACT

Yeasts can be enriched with microelements, including iron; however, special physicochemical conditions are required to formulate a culture media that promotes both yeast growth and iron uptake. Different iron sources do not affect biomass formation; however, considering efficacy, cost, stability, and compatibility with Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolism, ferrous sulphate is recommended.
