Impact of Selected Yeast Strains on Quality Parameters of Obtained Sauerkraut
Source abstract
Abstract
The aim of this research was to determine the influence of yeast strains (previously isolated from the fermentation process) on selected quality parameters of sauerkraut. For this purpose, shredded and salted (2.5% w/w) cabbage of the Galaxy variety was fermented in the absence of oxygen with the addition of 2 × 106 cells of a selected yeast culture. The control sample was spontaneously fermented sauerkraut without yeast addition. The obtained sauerkraut was analysed in terms of the content of selected organic acids, sugars and polyols (HPLC), selected volatile compounds (HS-SPME-GC-TOFMS), colour (CieLAB) and aroma (QDA). Yeast P. fermentans, Rh. mucilaginosa and W. anomalus reduced crucial sauerkraut components such as lactic acid, glycerol, and certain volatile compounds, leading to decreased aroma intensity and acceptability. Additionally, an increase in glucosinolate decomposition products was observed. Conversely, D. hansenii positively influenced sauerkraut quality by enhancing lactic acid content and exhibiting similar volatile characteristics to those of the control. Two of the three samples fermented with D. hansenii received high sensory analysis scores akin to those of the control. Sauerkraut fermented with Cl. lusitaniae yeast contained elevated levels of volatile compounds—alcohols, esters and lactones—resulting in an intense floral aroma, albeit receiving lower overall ratings due to deviation from the typical profile.
