Wine Production from Mixed Fruits (Pineapple and Watermelon) Using High Alcohol Tolerant Yeast Isolated from Palm Wine

Abstract: Mixed fruit wine (pineapple and watermelon) was produced using Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolated from palm wine. Primary and secondary fermentation of the fruits lasted for 7 and 28 days respectively, during which aliquot samples analysis of pH, titrable acidity, specific gravity, alcohol content and reducing sugar were carried out using standard procedures. Specific gravity of the wine was observed to reduce drastically as the fermentation progresses. The pH of the fruit must during the period of fermentation… Show more

“…The result obtained from this study shows that yeast isolated from palm wine was S. cerevisiae. It is in agreement with earlier studies which involved the use of S. cerevisiae isolated from fresh palm wine to ferment fruit juice into wine (Okoro, 2007;Ogodo et al, 2015;Okeke et al, 2015;Hafsat et al, 2015;Nwinyi and Hassan, 2021). A slight increase in population of S. cerevisiae during fermentation of watermelon-sugarcane 'must' is an indication that metabolizable nutrients in the medium were low.…”

“…As shown in Figure 1E, the pH of the wines by the two strains increased slightly after fermentation, ranging from pH 3.5-3.9. Similar results in papaya wines were published by Lee et al (2010; 2013) found in durian wine and Chen and Liu (2014) for lychee wine In addition, the total acid content remained relatively constant during fermentation (0.11-0.12%) (Fig 1D), which was similar to previous results reported by Okeke et al (2015), who found during the fermentation period, the pH of mixed pineapple and watermelon wine was in the acidic range, which was also similar to research published by Balogun et al (2017). As the result, the pH values of the wines were correlated with total acidity values.…”

“…This accounts for their highly perishable nature and short shelf life under normal storage conditions [14]. "This high moisture content makes the beverage suitable as a refreshing and thirst-quenching product which qualifies it as a good beverage" [15]. This high moisture content was similar to the results 2018), also recorded a moisture content of 70.94% in their study [16].…”
