What is it about?

In this study, the effects of the use of different commercial yeasts on the aroma compounds of rosé wines produced from Öküzgözü grape grown in Turkey were investigated. For this purpose, three different wines have been produced through spontaneous fermentation and using commercial yeasts (NBY17 and Zymaflore X5). The aroma compounds were isolated using the liquid-liquid extraction method. These compounds were identified and quantified using the GC-MS-FID. The total amount of aroma compounds was found 150749.4 µg/l in spontaneous wine, 170681.6 µg/l in wine used NBY17, and 162623.1 µg/l in wine used Zymaflore X5. The most dominant aroma groups in wines were alcohols and esters. In general, NBY17 has been found to play an important role in the formation of pleasing aromatic compounds in wine both in terms of aroma formation and sensory properties. This study provided the first data on the formation ability of aroma compounds for NBY17 yeast.

Why is it important?

Many wineries today use commercial yeasts because of their ability to start fermentation directly, convert sugar to alcohol greatly, and produce wine with the desired properties, as well as producing small amounts of undesirable by-products. This study which was performed using Zymaflore X5 and NBY17 among these commercial yeasts were focused on the differences in the aroma compounds of rosé wines obtained from Öküzgözü grapes. Through this study were provides the first data on the ability of commercial wine yeast called NBY17 produced with the initiative of private institutions and government support in Turkey for forming of aroma compounds. The use of commercial yeast significantly influenced the amounts of aroma compounds in wines and the commercial yeast called NBY17 plays an important role in the formation of pleasing aroma compounds in wine.

Perspectives

In this study, the effects of two different yeasts called Zymaflore X5 and NBY17 used to produce rosé wine from Öküzgözü grapes on aroma compounds were investigated. Among these yeasts, NBY17 is the first indigenous wine yeast produced with the initiative of private institutions and government support in Turkey. The most important factor that contributes to the originality of this study is that the aroma forming ability of NBY17 yeast has not been compared with any commercial yeast with similar properties before this study.
