Influence of indigenous Hanseniaspora uvarum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae from sugar-rich substrates on the aromatic composition of loquat beer
2022
The demand for unique and exclusive food products and beverages is constantly on the increase. One of the products that mostly evolved to encounter market dynamics in the last decade is craft beer. For a long time, craft breweries have included fruit in beer production to enrich flavour and aroma profile of different beer styles. In this study, for the first time, the use of Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces yeast strains isolated from high -sugar matrices (manna and fermented honey by-products) were investigated to diversify fruit craft beer pro-duction, in order to improve the fermentation process and highlight the complexity of aroma profiles generated during alcoholic fermentation.

PARTIAL SEQUENCING OF THE BETA-GLUCOSIDASE-ENCODING GENE FROM YEAST STRAINS ISOLATED FROM MUSTS AND WINES
2008
The aim of the present work was the identification of the gene encoding for β-glucosidase and its partial sequencing in the strainsPichia anomala AL112,Hanseniaspora uvarum Y8 andSaccharomyces cerevisiae AL41. To this aim degenerated primers, designed on the basis of aminoacid similarities of four known yeast β-glucosidases, have been used in PCR amplifications. An expected fragment of about 200 bp was amplified from all the DNAs, cloned and sequenced. Sequence homology demonstrated for the first time the presence of a β-glucosidase encoding gene inHanseniaspora uvarum andSaccharomyces cerevisiae.
Killer toxins in new isolates of the yeasts Hanseniaspora uvarum and Pichia kluyveri
1985
From various habitats (plant material, fruits, soil), yeasts belonging to the species of Pichia kluyveri and Hanseniaspora uvarum were isolated that showed killer activity. According to the activity spectrum against other yeasts these strains belonged to 11 different groups that were distinguishable from the killer strains K1-K10. The isoelectric points of the killer proteins were in the range of pH 3.5–3.9, the activity optimum was observed at pH 4.2–4.6. Above pH 5 and above a temperature of 25–35°C the killer proteins were inactivated.
Non-conventional yeasts from fermented honey by-products: Focus on Hanseniaspora uvarum strains for craft beer production
2021
The increasing interest in novel beer productions focused on non-Saccharomyces yeasts in order to pursue their potential in generating groundbreaking sensory profiles. Traditional fermented beverages represent an important source of yeast strains which could express interesting features during brewing. A total of 404 yeasts were isolated from fermented honey by-products and identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Zygosaccharomyces bailii, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii and Hanseniaspora uvarum. Five H. uvarum strains were screened for their brewing capability. Interestingly, Hanseniaspora uvarum strains showed growth in presence of ethanol and hop and a more rapid growth…
Biotechnological innovations in fermentation process of brewing and honey-based beverages industry
2022
La ricerca di microrganismi fermentanti in grado di migliorare le proprietà microbiologiche, fisiche, chimiche, sensoriali e organolettiche delle bevande alcoliche fermentate come vino, birra, idromele, sidro, è considerata ad oggi un punto chiave per lo sviluppo del settore. Negli ultimi anni, l'aumento della domanda al consumo di nuove bevande fermentate ha causato un enorme bisogno di tecnologie di produzione innovative al fine di ottenere diverse tipologie di prodotti caratterizzati da proprietà sensoriali peculiari. Per raggiungere tale obiettivo, l’impiego di nuovi microrganismi, sia fermentanti che non fermentanti, in grado di conferire al prodotto caratteristiche organolettiche pecu…
