Abstract: | "The effects of yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN) supplementation on Shiraz volatile composition and sensory properties have been investigated. A low YAN Shiraz must (YAN 100 mg/L) was supplemented with nitrogen in the form of diammonium phosphate (DAP) to a final YAN of either 250 or 400 mg/L. Fermentation was carried out with either Saccharomyces cerevisiae or Saccharomyces bayanus , with maceration on skins. For both yeast strains, high DAP additions increased the ratings of positive sensory attributes such as 'red fruit' and 'dark fruit' and decreased the 'yeast/cheese', 'vegetal', and 'earth/dirty' attributes. For the S. cerevisiae yeast moderate DAP addition resulted in higher 'reduced' attribute scores. DAP supplementation had a strong influence on formation of acetates, fatty acid ethyl esters, higher alcohols, hydrogen sulfide, ethyl mercaptan, methyl mercaptan, DMS, and DES. Partial least-squares regression analysis of chemical and sensory data indicated that esters, sulfides, and mercaptans were associated with fruit-related descriptors, whereas hydrogen sulfide was associated with the 'reduced' attribute. Nitrogen-related variations in the concentration of other yeast metabolites such as ethanol and 2- and 3-methylbutanoic acids also affected perceived fruitiness. Depending on yeast species DAP supplementation to a low nitrogen must can result in increased reduction off-odor" |
