Non-saccharomyces yeast and acetic acid bacteria in balsamic-styled vinegar production : a biochemical process analysisHutchinson, Ucrecia Faith January 2016 (has links)
Thesis (MTech (Chemical Engineering))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2016. / Grape producers and wine makers in South Africa are currently affected by various challenges, which include anti-alcohol lobbies, climate change, over-production in some vintages and the lack of transformation including empowerment in certain sectors of the industry. Climate change and global warming lead to poor quality wine grapes and as a result, poor quality wine. Therefore, there is a need to channel grapes away from normal wine production and provide an alternative source of income for the industry.
The overall aim of this study was therefore to provide an alternative outlet for overproduced wine grapes by producing balsamic-styled vinegar (BSV) in South Africa. Balsamic vinegar is different from other vinegars because it is a direct product of grape must and not a downstream or by-product of wine production. Balsamic vinegar entails lower production costs when compared to the production of wine due to the low technological process requirements during production; therefore, this could be an opportunity for small business entrepreneurs with low capital start-up. In addition, balsamic vinegar can command a high price, which is a benefit for grape producers. The primary aim of this investigation was to biochemically analyse a BSV production process in which 5 non-Saccharomyces yeast and 15 acetic acid bacteria (AAB) were used for a multicultural alcoholic-acetous (EtOH-AcOH) fermentation process. To achieve this aim, a fermentation process was designed where the data generated was fitted into kinetic models and the proliferation including the population dynamics of the microbial consortia were studied.

Previous issue date: 2015 / Resumo: O Vinagre Balsâmico é um produto italiano de grande valor, bastante apreciado em todo o mundo devido ao seu sabor característico e aos seus potenciais benefícios à saúde. Ao longo dos últimos anos, diversos pesquisadores realizaram estudos que avaliaram a sua composição físico-química, microbiana e suas propriedades benéficas. Devido ao alto número de estudos que confirmam o seu caráter antioxidante e suas propriedades anti-hipertensivas e antiglicêmicas, o vinagre balsâmico é um produto alvo de fraudes e adulterações. Desta forma, há uma preocupação acerca dos balsâmicos autênticos, que possuam certificação tanto para sua origem (região ou país), como para suas condições de processamento, garantindo sua qualidade e originalidade. Por isso, o esforço para a redução de fraudes, bem como a garantia da qualidade dos balsâmicos são de grande interesse tanto para saúde do consumidor, quanto do ponto de vista econômico. Buscando encontrar estratégias analíticas confiáveis, capazes de avaliar rapidamente a qualidade do vinagre balsâmico, este trabalho emprega a técnica de Espectrometria de Massas por Ionização/Dessorção a Laser em Placa de Sílica (SP-LDI-MS) para a rápida caracterização química de amostras de vinagres balsâmicos comercial e com indicação geográfica protegida (IGP), e identificação de suas amostras adulteradas com vinagres de baixo custo, provenientes de maçã, álcool e vinhos branco e tinto / Abstract: The Balsamic Vinegar is a valuable Italian product, very popular worldwide due to its distinctive flavor and potential health benefits. Several studies have been conducted to assess physicochemical and microbial compositions as well as with respect to its beneficial properties. Due to the high number of studies that confirm its antioxidant character and their antihypertensive and antiglycemic properties, balsamic vinegar is a potential target for frauds and adulterations. Thus, there is growing concern about the search for authenticated balsamics, so make sure your origin (region or country) as well as their processing conditions, which guarantee quality and originality of balsamic vinegar. Striving for fraud reduction and ensuring the quality and safety of food through reliable analytical strategies to quickly assess the quality of balsamic vinegar are of great interest to health and the economic point of view. In this context, this work employs the technique of Silica Plate Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry (SP-LDI-MS) for rapid chemical characterization of samples of commercial balsamic vinegars and with protected geographical indications (PGI) and identification their samples adulterated with inexpensive vinegars from apple, alcohol and red and white wines / Mestrado / Fisiopatologia Médica / Mestra em Ciências
