Impact of Thermally Inactivated Non- Yeast Derivatives on White Wine.

While a recent characterization of non- thermally inactivated yeasts (TIYs) in a wine-like solution highlighted the release of oenologically relevant compounds and different oxygen consumption rates and antioxidant activity, here the impact of TIYs derived from (SL), (MP), (TD), and (SC), as the reference strain, was evaluated in white wine. Wine treatment with TIYs resulted in an increase in polysaccharide concentration compared to the untreated wine, with SL-TIY exhibiting the highest release. Additionally, all TIYs, particularly SL-TIY, improved protein stability by reducing heat-induced haze formation. The addition of TIYs also demonstrated an effect on color parameters through phenolic compound adsorption, preventing potential browning phenomena. All TIYs significantly impacted the wine's volatile profile. Overall, it was shown that an improvement in wine quality and stability may be obtained by using TIYs in the winemaking process.
