Abstract:
Aromatic components are important functional products during the wine fermentation process. In the current study, nine strains (Y10, Y5, Y21, Y2, Y19, Y16, Y3, Y13 and Y4) of non-Saccharomyces were isolated from Cabernet Sauvignon grape wine. Aromatic components from Cabernet sauvignon-fermented wine were determined the phylogenetic evolution status of different non-Saccharomyces based on 26S rDNA and D1/D2 sequence analysis and analysed by a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis, and they were grouped into one category with four different yeast genus which were Meyerozyma guilliermondii, Brettanomyces naardenensis, Pichia guilliermondi and Candida fermentati. A total of 102 kinds of aroma components were detected, including 39 kinds of esters, 31 kinds of alcohols, 8 kinds of ketones, 10 kinds of alkanes, 15 kinds of acids and 4 kinds of other aroma substances.

Fates of Pyruvate
In aerobic organisms, pyruvate is metabolized via the citric acid cycle to produce reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH2. These coenzymes are then oxidized in the electron transport chain to produce ATP and, in the process, regenerate the NAD+ and FAD. As seen in some cell types and organisms, fermentation...
