Abstract
The strains of two species of yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia guillermondii, both with high hydroxycinnamate decarboxylase (HCDC) activity (56% and 90% respectively), were used in the fermentation of musts enriched with grape anthocyanins, to favour the formation of highly stable vinylphenolic pyranoanthocyanin pigments. The different strains were used to ferment the must separately, simultaneously, or sequentially, the latter involving an initial period using the yeast with the greatest HCDC activity (P. guillermondii). The must was made from concentrated grape juice diluted to 220 g/l of sugar, and enriched with grape anthocyanins to 100 mg/l and with p-coumaric acid to 120 mg/l. The pH was fixed to 3.5. All 50 ml micro-fermentations were done in triplicate. The development of anthocyanin- 3-O-glucoside precursors, the decarboxylation of p-coumaric acid, and the formation of 4-vinylphenol and vinylphenolic pyranoanthocyanin derivatives were studied during the fermentation. The fermentation strategy used and the yeast HCDC activity significantly influenced the formation of vinylphenolic pyranoanthocyanins. The latter molecules were separated, identified, and quantified using high performance liquid chromatograph with diode array detection and electrospray-mass spectrometry (HPLC-DAD-ESI/MS). The volatile compounds profile was screened during fermentation using gas cromatogrphy-flame ionisation detection (GC-FID), in order to detect and quantify the main molecules. The best results were reached with the sequential fermentation (3.74 mg/l of malvidin-3-O-glucoside- 4-vinylphenol). This work shows that during mixed or sequential fermentations carried out with non- Saccharomyces or highly fermentative Saccharomyces strains, with high HCDC activity, the content of stable pigments can be increased without sensorial modifications.
