Discovering the Influence of Microorganisms on Wine Color

Flavor, composition and quality of wine are influenced by microorganisms present on the grapevine surface which are transferred to the must during vinification. The microbiota is highly variable with a prevalence of non-Saccharomyces yeasts, whereas Saccharomyces cerevisiae is present at low number....

The microbiota is highly variable with a prevalence of non-Saccharomyces yeasts, whereas Saccharomyces cerevisiae is present at low number. For wine production an essential step is the fermentation carried out by different starter cultures of S. cerevisiae alone or in mixed fermentation with non-Saccharomyces species that produce wines with significant differences in chemical composition.

For this reason, the stability, aroma, and color of wines depend on strain/strains used during must fermentation. Saccharomyces cerevisiae or non-Saccharomyces can produce metabolites reacting with anthocyanins and favor the formation of vitisin A and B type pyranoanthocyanins, contributing to color stability.

In addition, some lactic acid bacteria seem to influence the color of red wines affecting anthocyanins’ profile. In fact, the increase of the pH or the ability to degrade pyruvic acid and acetaldehyde, as well as anthocyanin adsorption by bacterial cells are responsible for color loss during malolactic fermentation.
