Pretorius2** (1) ARC Infruitec-Nietvoorbij***, Private Bag X5026, 7599 Stellenbosch, South Africa. (2) Institute for Wine Biotechnology, Department of Viticulture & Oenology, Stellenbosch University, Private Bag X1, 7602 Matieland (Stellenbosch), South Africa. Submitted for publication: September 2005 Accepted for publication: April 2006 Key words: Non-Saccharomyces, yeasts, vineyards, cellars, fermentation, wine. The contribution by the numerous grape-must-associated non-Saccharomyces yeasts to wine fermentation has been debated extensively. These yeasts, naturally present in all wine fermentations, are metabolically active and their metabolites can impact on wine quality. Although often seen as a source of microbial spoilage, there is substantial contrary evidence pointing to a positive contribution by these yeasts. The role of non-Saccharomyces yeasts in wine fermentation is therefore receiving increasing attention by wine microbiologists in Old and New World wine producing countries. Species that have been investigated for wine production thus far include those from the Candida, Kloeckera, Hanseniaspora, Zygosaccharomyces, Schizosaccharomyces, Torulaspora, Brettanomyces, Saccharomycodes, Pichia and Williopsis genera. In this review the use and role of non-Saccharomyces yeast in wine production is presented and research trends are discussed. INTRODUCTION roles of the numerous non-Saccharomyces yeasts normally asso- ciated with grape must and wine. These yeasts, naturally present Wine is the product of a complex biological and biochemical in all wine fermentations to a greater or lesser extent, are meta- interaction between grapes (grape juice) and different microor- bolically active and their metabolites can impact on wine quality.

  • Free Amino Nitrogen in Brewing
    fermentation Review Free Amino Nitrogen in Brewing Annie E. Hill * and Graham G. Stewart International Centre for Brewing & Distilling, Heriot-Watt University, Riccarton, Edinburgh EH14 4AS, Scotland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-1314513458 Received: 22 January 2019; Accepted: 13 February 2019; Published: 18 February 2019 Abstract: The role of nitrogenous components in malt and wort during the production of beer has long been recognized. The concentration and range of wort amino acids impact on ethanolic fermentation by yeast and on the production of a range of flavour and aroma compounds in the final beer. This review summarizes research on Free Amino Nitrogen (FAN) within brewing, including various methods of analysis. Keywords: brewing; fermentation; free amino nitrogen; wort; yeast 1. Introduction The earliest written account of brewing dates from Mesopotamian times [1]. However, our understanding of the connection with yeast is relatively recent, starting with Leeuwenhoek’s microscope observations in the 17th century followed by the work of Lavoisier, Gay-Lussac, Schwann and others during the 18th and 19th centuries. It was not until the late 19th century that Pasteur demonstrated that fermented beverages result from the action of living yeast’s transformation of glucose (and other sugars) into ethanol [2–4]. Since then, our knowledge has expanded exponentially, particularly with the development of molecular biology techniques [5]. In this review, we cover the particular contribution that wort nitrogen components play in beer production during fermentation. A number of terms are used to define wort nitrogenous components: Free Amino Nitrogen (FAN) is a measure of the nitrogen compounds that may be assimilated or metabolised by yeast during fermentation.

Yiura) grown in northem Spain (Rioja) was investigated by SOS-PAGE. Under different fermentation conditions, e.g. aeration, must nitrogen content and yeast strain, SOS-PAGE pattems showed several bands with molecular weights ranging from 16 to 200 kOa. Higher weight proteins were glycosylated, whereas lower weight proteins were not. Under the experimental fermentation conditions none ofthe proteins showed any chemical modification that would alter the electrophoretical mobility or the covalent binding to their glycosylated moiety. K e y wo r d s : wine, soluble proteins, glycoproteins, free amino nitrogen content, grape juice. Introduction obtaining further knowledge ofprotein fraction ofwhite wine of cv. Viura. Different yeast strains were investigated and Solubleproteins in grape juice and wines mainly come different must nitrogen content and oxidising conditions from grapes; the protein content increases during grape during fermentation were used in order to establish possible maturation (ZoECKLEJN et al. 1995).

One of these species,Saccharomyces uvarum, is typically described as a cryotolerant yeast that produces relatively high levels of glycerol and rose-scented volatile compounds as compared with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the main yeast in winemaking. Comparisons of fermentative and chemical properties between S. uvarum and S. cerevisiae at the species level are relatively common; however, a paucity of information has been collected on the potential variability present among S.

NGO,1 MICHAEL WARD,2 ANNIE CUNNINGHAM,1 EMIL F. PAI,1 GUANG-CHOU TU,1,3 and THEO HOFMANN1 1 Department of Biochemistry, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario M5S 1A8, Canada 2 Genencor International, Inc., 925 Page Mill Road, Palo Alto, California 94304-1013 ~Received August 30, 1999; Final Revision February 7, 2000; Accepted March 10, 2000! Abstract The nucleotide sequence of the gene ~ pepA! of a zymogen of an aspartic proteinase from Penicillium janthinellum with a 71% identity in the deduced amino acid sequence to penicillopepsin ~which we propose to call penicillopepsin-JT1! has been determined. The gene consists of 60 codons for a putative leader sequence of 20 amino acid residues, a sequence of about 150 nucleotides that probably codes for an activation peptide and a sequence with two introns that codes for the active aspartic proteinase. This gene, inserted into the expression vector pGPT-pyrG1, was expressed in an aspartic proteinase-free strain of Aspergillus niger var. awamori in high yield as a glycosylated form of the active enzyme that we call penicillopepsin-JT2. After removal of the carbohydrate component with endoglycosidase H, its relative molecular mass is between 33,700 and 34,000. Its kinetic properties, especially the rate-enhancing effects of the presence of alanine residues in positions P3 and P29 of substrates, are similar to those of penicillopepsin-JT1, endothia- pepsin, rhizopuspepsin, and pig pepsin.
