Wine aroma modification by Hanseniaspora uvarum: A multiple-step strategy for screening potential mixed starters.

ABSTRACT: Hanseniaspora uvarum is a prevalent yeast species in vineyards. However, its application in grape wine fermentation remains limited. This study used culture-dependent and -independent approaches to investigate the dynamics of H. uvarum during the spontaneous fermentation of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The results revealed that H. uvarum constituted 77.49 % of the non-Saccharomyces yeast population during fermentation. An indigenous strain, QTX-C10, was isolated from the 148 H. uvarum strains using a multistep screening strategy. The 1:1 co-inoculation of QTX-C10 with Saccharomyces cerevisiae proved to be an optimal strategy for mixed fermentation, resulting in a 48.54 %-59.55 % increase in ethyl esters in Cabernet Sauvignon wine and a 96.94 %-110.92
