The most common yeast associated with winemaking is Saccharomyces cerevisiae which has been favored due to its predictable and vigorous fermentation capabilities, tolerance of relatively high levels of alcohol and sulfur dioxide as well as its ability to thrive in normal wine pH between 2.8 and 4.
Saccharomycodes ludwigii is a yeast species best known for being a contaminant in alcohol and fruit juice production. [1] It is highly resistant to typical environmental stressors such as high temperature, high sugar concentration, and high sulfur dioxide concentration. [2]
It has a high polluting capacity, beginning at one to two cells per liter. It has a high tolerance for sulfur dioxide, high sugar levels, and pressurized carbon dioxide and is difficult to eradicated from an already contaminated environment. [3] It produces high levels of secondary metabolites, including isobutanol, amyl alcohol, and isoamyl ...
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (/ ˌ s ɛr ə ˈ v ɪ s i. iː /) (brewer's yeast or baker's yeast) is a species of yeast (single-celled fungal microorganisms). The species has been instrumental in winemaking, baking, and brewing since ancient times. It is believed to have been originally isolated from the skin of grapes.
There are various techniques that a winemaker can employ to minimize the chances of a stuck fermentation happening. The most common is to use a cultured yeast strain with a high alcohol and high temperature tolerance coupled by diligent control of the fermentation temperature. Another technique is to add yeast nutrients like nitrogen to the must.
Z. rouxii can cause spoilage of certain high-sugar and high-salt foods such as condensed milk, fruit juices, jam, pastries and salad dressings. [10] It causes alcoholic fermentation: the alteration of the product is manifested by an alcoholic taste and especially by an intense gas release which makes the drink fizzy and which can cause the ...
