RT journal article T1 Thermotolerant acetic acid bacteria in the production of a red wine vinegar by surface culture at different temperatures: volatile and polyphenolic composition A1 Chanivet Periñán, Marina A1 Es-sbata, Ikram A1 Astola González, Antonio A1 Durán Guerrero, Enrique A1 Castro Mejías, Remedios A2 BiomedicinaBiotecnología y Salud Pública A2 Química Analítica K1 Acetic fermentation K1 Polyphenolic compounds K1 Red wine vinegar K1 Thermotolerant bacteria K1 Volatile compounds AB This work aims to determine the effect on the aromatic profile and phenolic content of red wine vinegars produced by surface culture at two different temperatures (30 °C and 37 °C) and using different inocula of acetic acid bacteria (Acetobacter malorum, Gluconobacter oxydans and a mixture of bacteria isolated from a Sherry vinegar). Fifty-seven volatile compounds and 23 polyphenolic and furfural compounds were identified. Vinegars obtained at 37 °C had poorer volatile profiles, with no significant influence of the strain of acetic bacteria. For polyphenolic content, temperature was also the most significant variable, so that the vinegars produced at higher temperatures had lower total anthocyanin contents, while no clear trend was observed regarding the influence of temperature on the low-molecular-weight phenolic constituents. The total tannin content in the vinegars obtained experienced slight increases after acetification, although this was not affected by temperature, and it was observed that when using the mixture of acetic acid bacteria from the Sherry vinegar, the total tannin content was significantly higher than when individual bacteria cultures of Acetobacter malorum or Gluconobacter oxydans were used. Temperature appears as a key parameter for the volatile and phenolic composition of red wine vinegar versus the use of different acetic acid bacteria.
