Finl report 2 FINAL REPORT 1. Executive summry This project showed tht there is lot of vrition mong non-scchromyces yests in terms of their fermenttion ilities, s well s their impct on MLF. This vried etween species, ut lso etween strins within the sme species. During the 2010-hrvest, three non-scchromyces strins, i.e. Kloecker picult, Schizoscchromyces pome nd Torulspor delrueckii were used in the production of Chenin lnc nd Pinotge wines. Non-Scchromyces fermented wines completed MLF fster thn wines fermented with Scchromyces cerevisie only. Sensory dt showed tht Chenin lnc wines not hving undergone MLF were preferred nd scored higher for rom intensity nd overll qulity. Pinotge wines not hving undergone MLF scored higher for rom intensity nd fruity rom, ut Pinotge wines hving undergone MLF hd more ody nd scored higher for overll qulity. During the 2011-hrvest, two commercil T. delrueckii strins were evluted in Chenin lnc nd Pinotge. Mlolctic fermenttion ws completed fter three dys in ll of the Pinotge wines. Due to sluggish lcoholic fermenttions of the non- Scchromyces yests, the Chenin lnc wines underwent spontneous MLF. These results showed tht non-scchromyces yests hve positive effect on MLF, ut it my increse the occurrence of spontneous MLF, especilly in sluggish fermenttions. Pinotge wines produced with non-scchromyces yests were considered to e etter thn wines produced with Scchromyces yest only. Depending on species nd strin selection, non- Scchromyces yests hve positive effect MLF nd wine qulity. 2. Prolem identifiction nd ojectives Successful induction nd completion of mlolctic fermenttion (MLF) is n ongoing prolem worldwide, despite the considerle ody of knowledge concerning wine properties, fctors ffecting lctic cid cteri (LAB) nd developments in strin selection nd strter cultures. The dvent of the use of non-scchromyces yests in wine production constitutes nother unknown fctor for mlolctic fermenttion. To dte the interction etween wild nd industril yests nd lctic cid cteri hs received little ttention. The ojective of this project is therefore to investigte the interction etween non-scchromyces yests nd LAB, nd susequent effects on MLF nd wine qulity. 3. Workpln (mterils & methods) Screening of non-scchromyces yests nd O. oeni This procedure is sed on the screening technique reported y Krieger nd Arnink (2003). Frozen Chrdonny juice from 2009 ws fermented with different commercil Scchromyces cerevisie, selective non-scchromyces yest nd LAB strins listed in Tle 1. At the end of AF, filter disk ws impregnted with the wine fermented with the selected yests strins nd plced on MRS grpe juice gr (MRS supplemented with 25% ( v / v) grpe juice), on which specific commercil LAB strins i.e. Viniflor oenos, Viniflor CH16, Enoferm lph nd Lctoenos SB3 ws lwned. MRS pltes were incuted t 30 C until growth ws oserved.

Finl report 4 Evlution of commercil MLF strins A synthetic (chemiclly defined) medium used y Costello et l. (2003) ws used to study Scchromyces yest nd LAB comptiility. Five hundred millilitres liquots of the synthetic juice (SJ) were fermented to dryness y S. cerevisie strins NT 202, NT 112, EC 1118 nd FX10. After lcoholic fermenttion (AF), 100 ml liquots were divided into sterile 250 ml ottles nd inoculted with commercil MLF strter cultures (Tle 1). Both, AF nd MLF were conducted t c. 22 C. All commercil cultures were used s prescried y the suppliers. Progress of MLF in the synthetic wine (SW) ws monitored using pper chromtogrphy (Kunkee 1968). Lortory-scle wine production trils The SJ medium of Costello et l. (2003) ws used to study Scchromyces yest nd LAB comptiility. The following components were excluded from the SJ: D-erythritol, L- rhmnose, D-ritol, D-mnnose, Zncl 2, Co(NO 3) 2.6H 2O, N 2MoO 4.2H 2O, denine sulphte, gunine, urcil, xnthine, cytosine, choline chloride nd colmine. Yest strins used in this study were grown in Yest Peptone Dextrose (YPD) roth t 30 C prior to inocultion. Two hundred nd fifty millilitres of the SJ were inoculted with pure cultures of the different non-scchromyces strins nd fermented to dryness or for 33 dys. Alcoholic fermenttion (AF) ws crried out in duplicte. After AF, the SW ws sterile filtered through 0.22 µm filter nd 100 ml ws liquoted into sterilised 250 ml ottles for the three different tretments. The three tretments were: (1) ddition of LAB, (2) ddition of nutrients nd LAB, nd (3) the reduction of inhiitory compounds in SW, prior to the ddition of LAB. Tretments 1 nd 2 were performed in duplicte. Oenococcus oeni strin, V. oenos ws used to induce MLF. V. oenos ws inoculted s prescried y supplier. The ethnol concentrtion of the SW ws djusted to 10% ( v / v) prior to ddition of V. oenos. The screening of non- Scchromyces yests in SJ ws conducted t ±21 C. The Ripper method ws used to determine free nd totl sulphur dioxide (SO 2) nd lcohol concentrtion ws determined y Koelenhof Wine Cellr Lortory. Smll-scle wine production trils of 2010 (1 st vintge) Grpes were otined from the Nietvoorij Reserch Frm nd the nlysis of the juice fter crushing nd pressing re listed in Tle 2. Kloecker picult (Y0858), Schizoscchromyces pome (Y0197) nd Torulspor delrueckii (M2/15) were used in smll-scle (20 L) Chenin lnc (14 C) nd Pinotge (23 C) wine production trils during the 2010-hrvest. S. cerevisie strin, N 96 ws used s the reference yest. V. oenos inoculted t the end of AF to induce MLF. Two tretments were pplied i.e. tretment 1: non-scchromyces yest without undergoing MLF nd tretment 2: non-scchromyces yest with MLF. All fermenttions were conducted in duplicte. Juice smples were nlysed (ph, totl cidity, sugr, free nd totl SO 2) in the Nietvoorij cellr lortory using stndrd techniques (Ilnd et l., 2000). The progress of MLF ws monitored using pper chromtogrphy nd Wine Scn nlyses (IWBT, Stellenosch University). Tle 2. Chemicl nlyses of Chenin lnc nd Pinotge juice of the 2010-hrvest.

Milestone 1: Literture study A literture serch ws performed to find relevnt nd relted informtion out the effect non-scchromyces yests hve on the growth of LAB. Non-Scchromyces yests cn produce compounds such s cetldehyde, cetic cid, esters, glycerol, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen sulphide nd other y-products (Romno et l., 1997, 2003; Cini et l., 2010), which my e inhiiting or stimulting to LAB. Non-Scchromyces yests cn secrete pectinses, proteses nd glycosidses (Fernández et l., 2000; Cini et l., 2010). Enzymtic hydrolysis of the proteins into smller more solule nitrogen-contining molecules (peptides nd mino cids) could stimulte LAB growth. Terpenes nd other voltile compounds such s stright-chin nd cyclic lcohols, to nme just few, help improve wine rom. These voltile odorous compounds re present in free form in the grpes or re minly ind to sugr to form odourless non-voltile glycosidic complexes. β-glucosidse cleves off rom precursors ound to the sugr molecules contriuting to wine rom. These sugr molecules cn e utilised y LAB. Wine mcro-molecules such s polyscchrides nd mnnoproteins cn lso ffect LAB growth nd Diez et l. (2012) found tht mnnoproteins could stimulte LAB growth. Some non-scchromyces yest such s Hnsenul noml (Pichi noml), Schizoscchromyces pome, Zygoscchromyces ilii nd Isstchenki orientlis cn degrde mlic cid (Symn & Viljoen-Bloom 2006; Seo et l., 2007; Cini et l., 2010), which will ffect LAB growth nd MLF. During the eginning of fermenttion, these yests my deplete the nutrients found in wine. These deficiencies, comined with toxic metolites, cn inhiit the growth of LAB (Riéreu-Gyon et l., 2006; Costello et l., 2003). It hs lso een reported tht the growth of ntive yest species, such s Scchromycodes ludwigii, Cndid pulcherrim nd Pichi spp., is ntgonistic to the growth of LAB (Fornchon, 1968). However, in the lst mentioned study only six non-scchromyces yest strins were

Finl report 7 used nd their effect on one Lctocillus revis strin, one Lctocillus hilgrdii strin nd two Leuconostoc mesenteroides strins were investigted. Mendoz & Frís (2010) evluted the use of S. cerevisie nd K. picult in mixed fermenttions with O. oeni. They found tht the yest/lab interction did not ffect MLF nd tht sequentil inocultion of O. oeni llowed etter control on the sensory qulity of the wine. Wine yest my exert rnge of effects upon LAB, including inhiition, stimultion, or neutrl effect. The interctions etween Scchromyces cerevisie nd O. oeni hve een studied in greter detil, nd the sme rules should pply to non-scchromyces yests. It is cler, however, tht the interction etween Scchromyces/non-Scchromyces/LAB is complex nd tht there re mny fctors tht ply role. Milestone 2: Screening of non-scchromyces yests nd O. oeni A simple screening technique to determine yest nd LAB comptiility ws evluted. If the yest nd LAB strin ws not comptile cler zone of no growth would e visile round the filter disk. If the yest nd LAB ws comptile no zone would e visile round the filter disk. The results of the plte screening technique were inconclusive ecuse ll yest nd LAB comintion ppered to e comptile, including Scchromyces reference strins previously reported to e incomptile (S. Krieger-Weer, personl communiction). Milestone 3: Evlution of commercil LAB strins The im of this experiment ws to determine the effect of S. cerevisie strins, NT 202, NT 112, EC 1118 nd FX10, hve on sequentil MLF in SW. These commercil yests were used ecuse it is known wht effects they hve on LAB nd MLF in wine. Mlolctic fermenttion took longer to complete in the SW fermented with NT 112, thn with the other yests (Tle 4). Mlolctic fermenttion completed the fstest in SW fermented with NT 202. Enoferm lph completed MLF the fstest nd ws comptile with ll the yest strins. This tril showed tht LAB strins, E. lph nd CH16 were less ffected y yest selection thn V. oenos nd Lctoenos nd tht the wrong yest nd LAB selection could dely MLF. Tle 4.

Finl report 8 Milestone 4: Lortory-scle wine production trils The im of this tril ws to determine the effect non-scchromyces yests hve on O. oeni strin, V. oenos nd MLF in synthetic grpe juice. This medium ws chosen ecuse it could help to determine if the different yest strins stimulted or inhiited LAB growth nd MLF. If yest inhiited LAB growth nd MLF, it could e determined whether inhiition ws due to nutrient depletion or yest derived compounds. Progress of AF (mesured in CO 2 weight loss) of the different non-scchromyces strins in SJ, re shown in Fig. 1. Some non-scchromyces yest ppered to e strong fermenters, wheres others ppered to e wek. However, none of the non-scchromyces yests fermented to dryness nd few of the SW smples contined high residul sugr concentrtions t the end of AF (Tle 5). There were cler differences in the ility of the different non-scchromyces yests to produce SO 2, with Kloecker picult Y0840 nd Torulspor delrueckii M2/15 producing the highest totl SO 2 levels.

The Chenin lnc wines hving undergone MLF scored lower for rom intensity nd overll qulity thn the tretments tht did not undergo MLF. However, the wines tht underwent MLF hd more ody thn the wines tht did not undergo MLF. Descriptive sensory nlyses of the Pinotge wines indicted tht there ws no or little difference etween the tretments (Fig. 3). The T. delrueckii tretment without MLF scored the highest for most of the descriptors nd N 96 tretment scored the lowest. Pinotge wines hving undergone MLF were less fruity thn wines not hving undergone MLF, ut scored higher for vegettive rom, ody nd overll qulity. The sensory dt showed tht MLF negted the romtic contriution of non-scchromyces yests in Chenin lnc wines, ut enhnced the mouth-feel nd generl qulity of Pinotge wines produced with non- Scchromyces yests. Gs chromtogrphic nlysis of the Chenin lnc wines reveled tht the K. picult tretments, with nd without MLF, hd noticele higher ethyl cette levels thn the other tretments (Tle 11). The K. picult tretment with no MLF lso contined slightly higher levels of the romtic esters, iso-myl cette nd hexyl cette. The concentrtions of the other esters did not differ or differed only slightly nd were therefore not included. None of the tretments contined high methnol levels (Tle 12). The Sc. pome tretments contined slightly lower levels of most of the higher lcohols thn the other tretments, except for iso-utnol, which ws slightly higher thn the other tretments. Wines fermented with N 96 contined higher voltile cidity levels thn wines produced with the non- Scchromyces yests.

The wines produced with T. delrueckii yests scored higher thn the wines fermented with the Scchromyces yest, VIN 13. Due to the sluggish fermenttion of the Chenin lnc wines nd the difference in residul sugrs, it ws decided to only evlute the rom nd not the tste of the wine. The reference wine, VIN 13 scored the highest for generl rom intensity, tree fruit nd tropicl fruit, wheres the T. delrueckii wines were considered to hve more dried fruit chrcter (Fig. 5). The T. delrueckii wines lso scored higher for other rom, which referred to sweet ssocited roms or in some cses off-flvours. The voltile chemicl composition of the Chenin lnc wines ws not determined.

Discussion Results showed tht there is lot of vrition mong non-scchromyces yests in terms of their fermenttion ilities, s well s their impct on MLF. This vried etween species, ut lso etween strins within the sme species. Some of the non-scchromyces yest strin showed lot of potentil nd will e investigted further, to improve on ville commercil yests. Non-Scchromyces yests hve positive effect on MLF, ut it my increse the occurrence of spontneous MLF, especilly in sluggish fermenttions. Non-Scchromyces wines were considered to e etter nd more complex thn wines fermented with Scchromyces yests only, nd this ws shown with the non-scchromyces isoltes nd commercil strins. Wines produced with non-scchromyces yests, which underwent MLF scored higher for overll qulity nd were generlly etter thn wines not hving undergone MLF. Depending on strin selection, non-scchromyces yests hve positive effect on MLF nd wine qulity. This knowledge should help the industry to llevite some of the MLF prolems nd improve the qulity of South Africn wines. Literture cited Cini, M., Comitini, F., Mnnzzu, I. & Domizio, P., 2010.
