Article Abstract
Recently, there has been growing interest in the characterization of native yeasts for their use in production of wines with regional characteristics. This study aimed to investigate Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces yeasts present in the spontaneous fermentation of Tannat and Marselan grape musts collected from Concordia (Entre Ríos, Argentina) over 2019, 2020, and 2021 vintages. The evolution of these fermentative processes was carried out by measuring total soluble solids, total acidity, volatile acidity, pH, ethanol concentration, and total carbon content. Isolated Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces yeasts were identified based on colony morphology in WL medium, 5.8S-ITS-RFLP analysis, and 26S rDNA D1/D2 gene sequencing. Two hundred and ten yeast colonies were isolated and identified as Pichia kudriavzevii, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Hanseniaspora uvarum, Metschnikowia pulcherrima, Candida albicans, Candida parapsilosis, Pichia occidentalis, Pichia bruneiensis, Hanseniaspora opuntiae, Issatchenkia terricola, and Hanseniaspora vineae. P. kudriavzevii isolated from all vintages was associated with the spontaneous fermentation of grape musts from the Concordia region.

Background: Secondary fermentation can reduce variability in cocoa bean quality caused by the spontaneous, uncontrolled nature of primary fermentation. However, its optimization remains unexplored. This study evaluated the improvement of secondary fermentation through the combined use of Citrus limon peel and inoculation with Candida tropicalis H1Y4-1 as a starter.

Unlabelled: Soy whey, a tofu production byproduct rich in nutrients, is typically discarded. This study investigated five natural lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains isolated from spontaneously fermented soy whey (FSW) for their fermentation performance in soy whey medium. The growth characteristics, total phenols and flavonoids compounds, antioxidant activities, and aroma profiles were evaluated.

Traditional fermented foods (TFFs) spark debates about their potential health benefits as much is still unclear. Mostly conjectured as functional or living foods, TFFs are produced by live organisms through spontaneous or controlled fermentation processes. Here, we assessed the effect of exposure to Mabisi, a traditional Zambian fermented dairy food product, on the gut microbiota and production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in stool samples of consumers and non-consumers of Mabisi.

Natural whey starter (NWS) is an undefined and variable microbial community of starter lactic acid bacteria (SLAB), traditionally produced by back-slopping and used in the manufacture of several hard-cooked Italian cheeses, including Parmigiano Reggiano PDO. Despite its importance, the parameters influencing the microbial composition and technological performance of NWS remain poorly investigated, largely due to the lack of controlled studies that do not interfere with actual cheese production. Although the Parmigiano Reggiano PDO regulations strictly forbid the use of selected starters and require NWS to be obtained exclusively through spontaneous whey fermentation following curd extraction, we developed a freeze-dried prototypical natural starter culture (NSC) system that simulates, under laboratory conditions, the back-slopping process used in Parmigiano Reggiano dairies to ferment sweet whey into NWS.
