Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microbial application technology, specifically relating to a grape juice spore-bearing Hansenula yeast and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from fresh grapes or grape juice through partial or complete alcoholic fermentation. Yeast is a key microorganism in winemaking, and its metabolic activity directly influences and determines the fermentation process and the quality of the wine. Currently, in industrial wine production, winemakers typically use specific commercial yeasts for fermentation to ensure the controllability and stability of the fermentation process. However, the widespread use of commercial yeasts may reduce the flavor complexity and typicality of wines and lead to homogenization of wine products. With the development of the wine industry, consumers have placed higher demands on the quality of wines, and the production of high-quality wines urgently requires wines that possess regional characteristics and reflect local features and styles.
[0003] Non-sacchariculture yeasts were initially isolated from spoiled wines and were once considered harmful strains due to their association with the production of off-flavor substances such as acetic acid, acetaldehyde, and hydrogen sulfide. However, recent studies have shown that non-sacchariculture yeasts play a positive role in enhancing the regional characteristics and flavor complexity of wines. In-depth research indicates that in the early stages of fermentation, they can secrete enzymes such as glycosidases, proteases, and esterases, which interact with substrates in grape juice to generate aromatic compounds such as esters, terpenes, higher alcohols, and acids, thus improving the aroma and complexity of the wine and contributing positively to its flavor. However, the high sugar and low pH fermentation environment can severely affect yeast activity. Therefore, screening for yeasts with good environmental tolerance and applying them to wine production is of great significance for improving the flavor and quality of wines from specific regions. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems of poor environmental tolerance of existing non-brewing yeasts and the lack of distinct regional style characteristics in wine products, this invention provides a Hansenula polymorpha yeast for grape juice and its application.

Selection of starting strains 1.1 Isolation and screening of fruit surface yeasts Fresh, ripe longan grapes were manually destemmed and crushed, then placed in a fermentation container for skin maceration fermentation at 16–18°C. Under sterile conditions, 1 mL of the fermentation broth was added to 9 mL of sterilized 0.90% sodium chloride solution, shaken to mix, and the above steps were repeated, with serial dilutions of 10 mL each time. 2 ~10 8 The 100µL dilution was evenly spread on YPD solid medium containing 100mg / L chloramphenicol and incubated at 28℃ for 2-3 days. After colony growth, colonies with typical yeast morphology were selected for streaking purification and further purified by the four-zone streak method on WL differential medium. The color, size, moisture and morphology of the colonies were observed to make a preliminary identification of the isolated yeast. After three repeated purifications, single colonies were obtained. The purified single colonies were picked and inoculated into YPD liquid medium and cultured for 24h (28℃, 180r / min). The obtained bacterial suspension was mixed with 40% glycerol (1:1) to prepare glycerol tube preservation solution.

[0046] The strain CJ2 is deep yellow, indicating that it has a high ester production capacity.
[0047] 1.3 Determination of strain tolerance The tolerance of the strains was determined using 10ml LYPD liquid medium and Durham tubes. For high glucose tolerance, glucose concentrations of 18%, 25%, 27%, 30%, and 35% were used; for SO2 tolerance, concentrations of 50 mg / L, 100 mg / L, 150 mg / L, 200 mg / L, and 250 mg / L were used; for acidity tolerance, pH values of 2.9, 3.2, 3.5, 3.8, and 4.1 were used; for ethanol tolerance, ethanol concentrations (v / v) of 6%, 8%, 10%, 12%, and 14% were used; and for temperature tolerance, temperature gradients of 10℃, 12℃, 14℃, 16℃, and 18℃ were used. Each strain was inoculated with 2% activated bacterial solution and incubated at 28℃. Gas volume in the Durham tubes was observed after 72 hours.
[0048] The results showed that strain CJ2 could tolerate 35% glucose concentration, 250 mg / L SO2 concentration, pH value of 2.9, 12% ethanol concentration, and temperature of 10℃.
[0049] 1.4 Determination of enzyme production characteristics 1.4.1 Glycosidase assay Yeast culture was inoculated at a ratio of 2% into YPD liquid medium and activated for 48 h (28℃, 180 rpm). The activated solution was then inoculated into fermentation medium at a ratio of 5% and cultured on a shaker for 72 h (28℃, 180 rpm). After the culture was completed, the fermentation broth was centrifuged at low temperature (8000 rpm, 10 min), and the supernatant was collected to obtain crude enzyme solution.

[0057] Identification of enzyme-producing strains Molecular biological identification The bacterial culture to be identified was sent to Genewiz Biotechnology Co., Ltd. for DNA extraction and 26S rDNA D1 / D2 region sequencing. The sequencing results were compared using the NCBI Blast homology database, and the strain CJ2 was identified as *Hansenula polymorpha* CJ2 of grape juice. Hanseniaspora grapes Its 26S rDNA nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID No. 1:
[0058] The grape juice contains Hansenula polymorpha CJ2 ( Hanseniaspora grapes The strain was deposited on April 28, 2025, at the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC), with accession number CGMCC:34391. The deposit address is No. 3, No. 1 Beichen West Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing. Example
[0059] Grape juice containing Hansenula polymorpha CJ2 is used in the production of dry white wine. 1. Fermentation experiment Sampling was conducted at a perennial high-quality vineyard in Huailai County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province. Healthy, fresh longan grapes with intact skin were harvested and destemmed and crushed. 800 mL of grape juice was dispensed into 1000 mL Erlenmeyer flasks. 16 mL of activated Hansenula polysaccharide CJ2 suspension was inoculated into the grape juice. After 48 h, local wine yeast HS32 (C+S) was inoculated. Commercial active dry yeast NSD and local wine yeast HS32 (N+S) were used as controls. Static fermentation was carried out at 12-13℃. The fermentation process was monitored regularly, and the weight was measured every 12 h. Fermentation was stopped when the weight change was <0.5 g for two consecutive times. The fermentation liquid was centrifuged (8000 r / min, 10 min), and the supernatant was used as a wine sample for subsequent experimental analysis.
[0060] 2. Determination of organic acid content Wine samples were filtered using a 0.22 μm needle filter for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Standard solutions of six organic acids—malic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, citric acid, succinic acid, and oxalic acid—were prepared, and standard curves were plotted. The analytical conditions were as follows: a Diamonsil Plus C18 column; mobile phase consisting of phase A (0.1% phosphoric acid solution) and phase B (methanol); a flow rate of 0.8 mL / min; isocratic elution mode; a phase A to phase B volume ratio of 97:3; elution time of 20 min; column temperature of 40 °C; detector wavelength of 210 nm; and sample injection volume of 10 μL.
[0061] The organic acid content in the wine sample is as follows Figure 2As shown, malic acid and tartaric acid are the main organic acids in wine. Malic acid plays a central role in yeast metabolism and is a key component of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle). Excessive amounts can affect the taste of wine. Tartaric acid can balance the sweetness and fruitiness in wine, making it refreshing, but excessive amounts can make the wine acidic, astringent, and harsh. The levels of malic acid and tartaric acid in the C+S wine sample were lower than those in the N+S wine sample. Lactic acid is mainly produced by yeast during alcoholic fermentation. Its content is not only important for the quality of wine but also beneficial to health, such as aiding in lactose digestion, having anti-cancer effects, and maintaining cholesterol levels, and can enhance the roundness of the wine's taste. Citric acid has a refreshing citrus flavor and is an intermediate in the TCA cycle. The levels of lactic acid and citric acid in the two wine samples were similar. Succinic acid is a byproduct of yeast cell nitrogen metabolism during fermentation. The levels of succinic acid in the C+S wine sample were slightly higher than those in the N+S wine sample. Oxalic acid is a commonly used chelating agent. In the human body, it may combine with calcium ions to form calcium oxalate precipitate, which may lead to the formation of kidney stones. The oxalic acid content in both wine samples was very low.
[0062] 3. Detection of volatile compounds Extraction of volatile aroma components: The aroma was determined by a semi-quantitative internal standard method. 8 mL of wine was pipetted into a 20 mL headspace vial, and 10 µL of 3-octanol solution (300 mg / L) was added as an internal standard and 2 g of NaCl to aid aroma volatilization. The vial was then placed in a 40 °C water bath for 15 min for equilibration, followed by SPME fiber headspace extraction at constant temperature for 40 min. Finally, the vial was manually injected into the GC inlet for 8 min for analysis.
[0063] Qualitative analysis was performed using full scan mode (SCAN), and quantitative analysis was performed using ion scan mode (SIM). Mass spectra were compared with the NIST14 library, and only components with a matching degree of 80% or higher were analyzed. A semi-quantitative analysis of volatile compounds was performed using the internal standard method. Aromas with VIP > 1 were obtained using the orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) model, as shown in Table 1.
[0064] Table 1
[0065] During the alcoholic fermentation of wine, esters are a typical byproduct, mainly including acetates, ethyl fatty acid esters, and other ester compounds. These substances significantly contribute to the fruit and floral aromas of wine, enhancing the complexity and intensity of the aromas, thereby improving the overall quality of the wine. The ester content of the C+S wine sample (3082.70±28.93μg / L) was significantly higher than that of the N+S wine sample. The C+S wine sample contained significantly higher levels of esters such as ethyl hexanoate, ethyl octanoate, isoamyl acetate, hexyl acetate, phenylhexyl acetate, and ethyl 9-decenoate than the control N+S wine sample. Ethyl hexanoate has sweet fruit aromas of pineapple and banana; ethyl octanoate has aromas of brandy and banana. These substances work synergistically to form the core fruit aroma characteristics of the wine.
[0066] The formation of higher alcohols in wine is a complex biochemical process regulated by multiple factors, contributing to a sweeter and more mellow body. These alcohols primarily originate from the grapes themselves and the alcoholic fermentation process, specifically involving pathways such as glycoside hydrolysis, amino acid and fatty acid metabolism. Isoamyl alcohol imparts aromas of banana and cheese, while phenethyl alcohol carries a rose-like fragrance. The isoamyl alcohol content has a dual impact on the sensory quality of wine; within a reasonable concentration range, it contributes to a rich flavor, while excessive amounts can lead to a noticeable bitterness. Isoamyl alcohol levels were relatively high in N+S wine samples. 2,3-Butanediol imparts creamy and buttery notes to wine, and its content was relatively high in C+S wine samples.
[0067] Acids also have a significant impact on the taste and complexity of wine. These substances mainly originate from fermentation byproducts and the grape berries themselves. A suitable concentration of acid infuses the wine with richer flavor layers, enhancing its complexity and balance.
[0068] The results above show that the *Hansenula polymorpha* CJ2 strain of grape juice, with accession number CGMCC:34391, selected in this invention, exhibits excellent resistance to high sugar, SO2, acid, alcohol, and temperature. It also possesses the superior characteristic of high production of glycosidases, proteases, and esterases. Wines brewed using this strain possess local biochemical characteristics and produce more prominent and richer regional aroma components, which is of great significance for brewing distinctive and high-quality dry white wines.
