The oenological potential of Hanseniaspora vineae yeast strains to industrial wine production
Eduardo Dellacassa, Universidad de la República del Uruguay (UY)
Many compounds associated to flavour and wine colour are known to be yeast strain-dependent. Because these metabolites are important for the sensory quality of wines, it is important to understand that winemaking is favoured by increased yeast diversity. This strategy is the ideal way to create unique wine profiles within a massive market.
The aim of this work is to study the oenological potential of 11 strains of Hanseniaspora vineae to better understand diversity within the species.
The yeast strains were evaluated to determine the extracellular protease and β-glucosidase enzyme activities, the fermentative capacity at low nitrogen levels, glycerol production, polysaccharide release, SO2 resistance and the formation of aromatic compounds.
Fermentation products were evaluated to determine the sensory properties related to consumer preferences. The results obtained enabled the verification of variability between strains of this species for some key attributes among the 11 strains.

Wine is fundamentally a high-intervention product, and along all stages from harvest to bottling it's our job to guarantee safety and quality, but it's also up to us to research, experiment, and ad...
Producing a wine according to our oenological objective, wanting to express the variety, but adapting practices according to the sanitary status of the grapes, is continuous experimentation. We aga...
Phenolic composition of grapes has an important impact on the final intrinsic quality of (red) wines. Wine taste, mouthfeel and colour are driven principally by phenolic compounds present in grapes...
For the production of quality sparkling wines, it is important to ensure the separation of the correct phenolic profiles of must fractions. Find out how UV-Visible spectroscopy, together with chemo...
Chemical, biochemical and physiological factors influence the composition of the retronasal aroma during wine consumption, but not only tannins influence mouthfeel: anthocyanins do too. New methods...
What's the importance of varietal thiols, esters and glycerol content from an organoleptic quality point of view? How do volatile compounds evolve during wine aging and storage conditions? Are ther...
