Abstract
Although berries (nongrape) are rich in health-promoting bioactive compounds, and their consumption is associated with a lower risk of diverse chronic diseases, only a fraction of the annual yield of berries is exploited and consumed. Development of berry wines presents an approach to increase the utilization of berries. Alcoholic fermentation is a complex process driven by yeasts, which influence key properties of wine diversification and quality. In winemaking, non-Saccharomyces yeasts were traditionally considered as undesired microorganisms because of their high production of metabolites with negative connotations. However, there has been a recent and growing interest in the application of non-Saccharomyces yeast in many innovative wineries. Numerous studies have demonstrated the potential of these yeasts to improve properties of wine as an alternative or complement to Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The broad use of non-Saccharomyces yeasts in winemaking provides a promising picture of these unconventional yeasts in berry wine production, which can be considered as a novel biotechnological approach for creating value-added berry products for the global market. This review provides an overview of the current use of non-Saccharomyces yeasts in winemaking and their applicative perspective in berry wine production.
