Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a Candida quercitrusa FPW-8-36 strain and application thereof, and belongs to the field of fruit wine brewing. Background Art
[0002] The aroma of fruit wine fermentation is produced by yeast metabolism. Fermentation with a single yeast strain is prone to produce fruit wine products that lack typical flavor and regional characteristics. Recent studies have shown that non-brewer yeasts play an important role in enriching fruit wine, especially in enhancing the important flavor compounds in fruit wine. Non-Saccharomyces yeasts Zygosaccharomyces rouxii (Li, Shiqi, et al. 2023, Enhancing antioxidant activity and fragrant profile of low-ethanol kiwi wine via sequential culture of indigenous Zygosaccharomyces rouxii and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Food Bioscience 51), Zygosaccharomyces bailii, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Pichia fermentans (Li, Shiqi, et al. 2022, Characterization of different non-Saccharomyces yeasts via mono-fermentation to produce polyphenol-enriched and fragrant kiwi wine. Food Microbiology 103) can improve the quality of fruit wine. However, non-Saccharomyces yeasts suitable for fruit wine fermentation are still lacking, especially strains suitable for the development of multiple fruit wines at the same time. Linalool, ethyl 2-methylbutyrate, phenylethanol and γ-butyrolactone are important flavor compounds in fruit wine. In order to further improve the flavor and commercial value of fruit wine, it is of great significance to screen non-brewery yeasts that enhance the volatile flavor compounds of fruit wine.

[0030] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below. It should be understood that the embodiments are for better explaining the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0031] Test method:
[0032] 1. The determination of total acid, ascorbic acid and reducing sugar content shall refer to the national standard GB / T 15038-2006 "General Analysis Method for Grape and Fruit Wine".
[0033] 2. The pH value is measured by an acidity meter.
[0034] 3. Total phenols were determined by the folin phenol colorimetric method: Preparation of standard curve: 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 μL of gallic acid were taken, and 1000, 980, 960, 940, 920, 900 μL of distilled water were added to prepare gallic acid solutions of different concentrations, 50 μL of gallic acid + 50 μL of folin phenol + 50 μL of sodium carbonate + 100 μL of distilled water, and the OD value was measured at 765 nm.
[0035] Experimental group: 50 μL sample + 50 μL folin phenol + 50 μL 7.5% sodium carbonate + 100 μL distilled water, let stand for 30 min, and measure the OD value at 765 nm.
[0036] 4. Alcohol content is measured using a handheld alcohol meter.
[0037] 5. The sugar content is measured by a handheld saccharimeter.
[0038] 6. Headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME): HS-SPME combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) (Agilent 8890BGC, 5977B MS; Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) was used to analyze the volatile compounds produced at the end of the fruit wine fermentation process. 5 mL of sample was accurately aspirated and 1 mL of NaCl saturated solution was added to a 15 mL SPME flask. Then 25 μL of toluene-d8 (2.024 mg / L) and 50 μL of ethyl acetate-d3 (19.7 mg / L) were added as internal standards, sealed and equilibrated at 40 °C for 15 min, and the aged extraction head was inserted and extracted at a stirring speed of 300 rpm / min for 30 min. After the extraction, the injector was inserted into the headspace bottle (depth 22 mm), placed at 40 °C for 10 min, and the volatile substances were collected for gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. GC-MS conditions: A DB-5MS column (60 m × 250 μm, film thickness 0.25 μm; Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA) was used with helium as the carrier gas at a flow rate of 1.0 mL / min. The initial column temperature was 40 °C, maintained for 1 min, and then increased to 230 °C at a rate of 4 °C / min and maintained for 15 min. Mass spectrometry analysis was performed under the conditions of ion source temperature of 230 °C, mass range of m / z 29-500, and electron ionization energy of 70 eV. The identification of volatile compounds involved the comparison of mass spectra and retention indices (Rl). The relative residual times of volatile compounds were calculated based on the linear retention times of the n-alkane (C, Con DB-WAX) column using the modified Kovats method.
[0039] 7. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of aroma substances: Match the detected unknown compounds with the mass spectral library of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Wiley Library, and select substances with high matching degree as effective aroma components for qualitative comparison. Use the internal standard method for semi-quantitative analysis. Using toluene-d8 and ethyl acetate-d3 as internal standards, calculate the mass concentration of the component to be tested by comparing the peak area ratio of each component with the internal standard and correcting it.

[0048] Example 1 Screening and identification of Candida citrinum FPW8-36
[0049] 1. Preliminary screening by TTC method
[0050] In a clean bench, wash the surface of the purchased fruits and pickled peppers with YPD liquid culture medium, add the obtained bacterial solution into a shaking tube (3-5mL), centrifuge at 5000rpm for 5min, pour out the supernatant, and dilute to 10% by adding sterile water. -3 and 10 -4 Gradient. Pipette 20 μL onto the TTC solid medium for yeast screening, culture in a 28°C constant temperature incubator for 48-72 hours, observe the color of the medium, pick a single colony with good growth to purify it on the streaked TTC plate, and observe the colony morphology ( Figure 1 ).
[0051] 2. Dulbecco's tubule rescreening
[0052] The strains obtained by the initial screening of TTC method were inoculated into YPD medium for activation and then inoculated with 2% (1×10 8 CFU / mL) into a 5 mL kiwifruit juice YPD liquid medium test tube equipped with a Dulbecco's tube, and culture at 28°C, 50 rpm / min for 72 h. Observe and record the bubble generation every 24 h, and record the strain number with excellent gas production performance.
[0053] Multiple strains were obtained by screening with TTC medium, and the gas production of these strains and AY strains in the Dulbecco's tubules was summarized and compared for 36h fermentation (as shown in Table 1). Among them, when the Dulbecco's tubules of MHT-6-11, FPW8-36, MHT-8-49, MHT-8-58, MHT-8-66, PP-2-16, PP-2-25, PP-5-3, PP-7-12, PJ-I-5, PJ-I-6, TZ-1-9, TZ-1-11, TZ-2-1, LM-1-4, LM-1-5 and AY strains were cultured to 24 hours, it was observed that the Dulbecco's tubules were 1 / 3 full of gas, indicating that these strains have rapid gas production capabilities. At 48h of culture, strains such as MHT-1-8, MHT-6-16, MHT-8-42, PP-2-5, and PP-3-1 began to produce gas, but the volume of gas was small; at 72h, the Dunaliella tubules of FPW 8-36, MHT-8-49, MHT-8-66, PP-2-16, PP-2-25, PP-5-3, PJ-I-5, PJ-I-6, LM-1-4, and Angel Yeast were full of gas and completely floated on the liquid surface. Therefore, FPW 8-36, MHT-8-49, MHT-8-66, PP-2-16, PP-2-25, PP-5-3, PJ-I-5, PJ-I-6, and LM-1-4 with better fermentation ability were further screened for Dunaliella tubules containing YPD liquid medium containing sweet pepper juice.
[0054] Table 1 Gas production of Dulbecco's tubules of some strains at 72 h
[0055]
[0056]
[0057] Note: “-” means no gas is produced in the Dulbecco’s tubules, “+” means the gas volume is less than 1 cm, “++” means the gas volume is 1.5 to 2 cm, and “+++” means the gas volume is 2 to 3 cm.
[0058] The above strains FPW 8-36, MHT-8-49, MHT-8-66, PP-2-16, PP-2-25, PP-5-3, PJ-I-5, PJ-I-6 and LM-1-4 and Angel Yeast (AY) were inoculated into YPD medium for activation, and then inoculated into 5 mL sweet pepper juice YPD liquid medium test tubes equipped with Dulbecco tubules, and cultured at 28°C and 50 rpm / min for 72 h. The gas production effect of FPW 8-36 was similar to that of AY, starting to produce gas at 48 h, and the Dulbecco tubules were filled with gas at 72 h. Therefore, FPW 8-36 was selected for the fermentation of kiwi fruit wine and sweet pepper wine.
[0059] 3. Morphological identification of high gas-producing yeast strains
[0060] Observe the colony morphology and colony color of FPW 8-36 strain on the culture medium.
[0061] 1. Strain morphological identification results
[0062] According to the color and morphology of the colony, a single colony was picked and placed on a slide. The representative colony was observed under a 100x microscope to observe its cell characteristics. The microscopic examination results of the FPW8-36 strain are as follows: Figure 3 shown.
[0063] 2. Results of molecular identification of strains
[0064] The ITS1 and ITS4 gene regions of the FPW 8-36 strain were amplified. Sequences of selected strains representing potential species were obtained from GenBank and multiple alignments were performed. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using MEGA7 software. Figure 4 As shown, we identified FPW8-3 scooter 6 as Candida quercitrusa.
[0065] Example 2: Brewing fruit wine with Candida citrinum FPW8-36
[0066] 1. Preparation of kiwi wine using Candida citrinum FPW8-36, the specific method is as follows:
[0067] 1. Select 80-90% ripe kiwifruit, wash, peel, squeeze the juice, and sterilize to obtain the raw material.
[0068] 2. Add potassium pyrosulfite (65 mg) and pectinase (500 mg) to the raw materials, perform enzymolysis in a constant temperature water bath at 35°C for 2 h, obtain kiwifruit juice, adjust the sugar content, add glucose to make the sugar content reach 20·Brix, and sterilize.
[0069] 3. Inoculate strain FPW8-36 into YPD liquid medium at 4% (v / v), culture at 28°C, 280rpm / min for 8h, then inoculate 2% into sterilized kiwifruit pulp, perform pre-fermentation (fermentation in fermentation room, 20-22°C, 7d), collect supernatant by centrifugation for post-fermentation (fermentation, 20-22°C, 10d), sterilize, centrifuge, collect supernatant (i.e. kiwifruit wine), seal and bottle
[0070] 2. Preparation of sweet pepper wine using Candida citrinum FPW8-36, the specific method is as follows:
[0071] Wash the ripe fresh red bell peppers, drain them, squeeze the pulp and heat treat them at 85℃ for 1-2min. Add potassium pyrosulfite (65mg / kg) in proportion and then add pectinase (500mg / L) for enzymolysis in a 35℃ constant temperature water bath for 1.5-2.5h. Stir well and add glucose to make the sugar content reach 25°Brix. Dispense it into sterilized fermentation bottles, sterilize it in a 65℃ constant temperature water bath for 30min, sterilize it on a sterile operating table with ultraviolet light, and use it after cooling. Inoculate citrus candida FPW8-36 in the pepper homogenate at a 4% (v / v) inoculation amount, and ferment it at a constant temperature of 20-22℃ for 7d, and the pre-fermentation is completed. The wine after centrifugation is then post-fermented at 20-22℃ for 10d, and the sweet pepper wine is obtained by centrifugation and sealed and bottled.
[0072] 3. Sensory Evaluation
[0073] Kiwifruit wine and sweet pepper wine were obtained, and the aroma characteristics of kiwifruit wine and sweet pepper wine were evaluated by 10 trained winemaking professionals aged between 24 and 35 years old. In the sensory experiment, the samples were randomly coded and randomly assigned. The descriptive definitions of the six aroma attributes for evaluating the aroma of kiwifruit wine and sweet pepper wine were: fruity, alcoholic, sweet, acidic, medicinal, floral and herbal. The tasters scored the intensity of the aroma characteristics: 0 = no aroma characteristics, 1 = very weak, 2-weak, 3 = medium, 4-strong, 5 = very strong. Each test wine sample was analyzed twice. The results showed that the kiwifruit wine prepared by the FPW8-36 strain was significantly higher than that of the AY strain in the aroma intensity of herbal aroma, fruity aroma, alcoholic aroma, sweet aroma and sour aroma. Among them, the intensity of herbal aroma and sour aroma reached 2.55 times and 1.35 times that of AY, respectively, showing the significant advantage of FPW8-36 in improving the complexity and richness of fruit wine. At the same time, the AY fermented kiwifruit wine showed a medicinal flavor intensity of up to 4.1, which may have affected the balance of its overall flavor. In terms of the performance of floral aroma, the difference between the two wines was not obvious ( Figure 2a). In addition, the sweet pepper wine fermented by FPW8-36 is also superior to AY in terms of alcohol, fruity and sweet aromas, especially the intensity of the floral aroma is more prominent, which enhances the flavor of the wine. Relatively speaking, the sweet pepper wine fermented by AY has higher intensity in terms of pepper, sour, sauce and herbal aromas. These flavor characteristics may lead to its overall flavor being less harmonious ( Figure 2 b). Overall, the aroma level of kiwi wine and pepper wine fermented by FPW8-36 strain was significantly better than that of AY, showing richer aroma characteristics and higher sensory quality. This shows that FPW8-36 strain has important potential in improving the flavor and quality of fruit wine, and provides new directions and possibilities for the production of kiwi wine and sweet pepper wine.
[0074] 4. Physical and chemical indicators and flavor compound detection
[0075] First, the physical and chemical indicators of kiwi fruit wine were tested. The results are shown in Table 2. Physical and chemical indicators are important factors in evaluating the quality of fruit wine. Among them, ascorbic acid and total phenols ensure the nutritional components of wine, and the regulation of pH and total acid is conducive to improving the stability and shelf life of wine. Sugar content, reducing sugar and alcohol content are important indicators of fruit wine fermentation. The physical and chemical indicators of fruit wine provide a scientific basis for product optimization and market positioning, which helps to improve the market competitiveness of products.

[0077]
[0078] Note: Data in the same column with different lowercase letters indicate significant differences (P<0.05), while data with any identical lowercase letters or no letters indicate no significant differences (P>0.05).
[0079] The contents of four common compounds in the two fruit wines were compared. Figure 5 A is the quantitative result of linalool. Linalool has the aroma of flowers. The contents of linalool in kiwi wine and sweet pepper wine prepared by FPW8-36 strain were 565.83μg / L and 472.94μg / L, respectively, which are 2.26 and 1.13 times that of AY, significantly higher than the content of linalool in AY. Ethyl 2-methylbutyrate has a typical fruity aroma. The contents of linalool in kiwi wine and sweet pepper wine prepared by FPW8-36 strain were 121.34μg / L and 155.06μg / L, respectively, which are 1.31 and 1.48 times that of AY, significantly higher than AY( Figure 5 B). Phenylethanol has a rose scent. The contents of phenylethanol in kiwi fruit wine and sweet pepper wine prepared by FPW8-36 strain were 168879.19 μg / L and 15067.39 μg / L, respectively, which were 6.96 and 1.23 times that of AY, and significantly higher than AY( Figure 5 C). γ-butyrolactone has the aroma properties of cream and caramel. The content of γ-butyrolactone in kiwi fruit wine and sweet pepper wine prepared by FPW8-36 strain is 385.22μg / L and 450.53μg / L respectively, which is 2.37 and 1.35 times that of AY ( Figure 5 D).
