The invention relates to ice
wine yeast with high
fermentation activity and outstanding
aroma-producing characteristics and application thereof. The ice
wine yeast is
yeast (
Saccharomyces cerevisiae) YSL16010, and the
bacterial strain has been preserved in China General
Microbiological Culture Collection Center on April 18, 2016, with a preservation number of CGMCC No.12349. The
bacterial strain YSL16010 is obtained by separating and screening Vidal grapes from a Huanren producing area of Liaoning at a temperature of 16 DEG C in a natural
fermentation process, and the ice
wine wine-making yeast having good making characteristics and highly producing esters is obtained through a series of screening and identifications and small
pilot scale
fermentation. The ice wine wine-making yeast YSL1610 highly producing esters is used for fermenting and producing ice wine, so that the yield of volatile acid is effectively controlled while the standards of the
grape wine producing countries can be met, and therefore, the content of aromatic compounds such as esters is remarkably increased. The
bacterial strain can be applied to ice wine
brewing industry, and can play an important role in improving the quality of the ice wine and bringing advantages of the grape producing areas into play.
